More than 300,000 residents of the southeastern Ukraine have received humanitarian aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross since the start of the conflict, Dominik Stillhart, the director of operations at the ICRC has said.
“The International Committee of the Red Cross provides aid to people in Donbas, as of today, 300,000 people have received it,” Stillhart told reporters on Oct. 28.
He recalled that since the start of the conflict, more than 2 millions of Donbas residents were forced to leave their homes and move, in particular, to the Russian South, to Belarus. In these countries, the forced migrants are given aid through the Russian and Belarusian branches of the Red Cross, he said.
