Evacuate and Save: How the Ukrainian Red Cross Assists People from Frontline Communities

The Sumy region is one of the areas where the evacuation of civilians is ongoing due to constant shelling of border communities.

The Ukrainian Red Cross organises and carries out evacuation missions for people who are unable to leave dangerous areas on their own — in particular, older people and those with limited mobility, as well as families with children.

A feature in Ukrainska Pravda highlights the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross emergency response teams in the Sumy region, the specifics of decision-making related to evacuation deployments, and the support that evacuees receive after arriving in safer communities.
