EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS AT THE DAM

We are supporting the victims of the Dam, our partners in Ukraine are there right now and the situation is very serious as you will have seen on the news. Please continue to support us.

All civilians and aid groups have been told to evacuate Bakhmut, a town that had over 6,000 people still living there. All of these people have been ordered by the Ukrainian military to leave. Many refugees are fleeing west to Konstantanivka , a town about 30 km from Bakhmut. However, there is no infrastructure here to support these people. The population in Konstantanivka have been cut off from power for many months and have been suffering from a lack of support themselves.

StaySafeUA have set up a temporary shelter in an old kindergarten to provide for up to 150 people to provide:-

- A bed to sleep in and three warm meals per day.

- Charging and connection station powered by a Starlink and a generator for people to connect with their families and, hopefully find somewhere further west to evacuate to.

- Washing station for people to clean their clothes and themselves after days of fleeing their homes.

- A clinic within the shelter to treat basic problems or refer them to more sophisticated medical facilities
