Relief supplies for Ukraine

Recently, our municipality organized the transport of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. These shipments have now arrived safely in Nedrygailov and Sumy. Deputy Mayor Rob Jonkman personally delivered the materials and handed them over to local medical institutions, emergency services, and social organizations.

Humanitarian aid is extremely necessary and is already being used, in particular, in hospitals, emergency services, and music schools. During the visit, it became clear how special the work that doctors, rescuers, teachers, and volunteers do every day is. Despite air raid sirens, power outages, and the ongoing consequences of war, they continue to provide medical care, education, and emergency support to their community.

The transport was made possible thanks to the involvement and support of residents and organizations from the Netherlands. Together, we were able to make a concrete contribution to people who continue to work in difficult conditions and care for one another.

The courage and resilience that can be seen there make a deep impression and continue to inspire.

We thank all our partners for their contributions:

• Leeuwarder Courant, Friesch Dagblad, and Dagblad van het Noorden (campaign for Ukraine):
  9-seater bus for transporting patients in a seated or lying position.
• The Social Brigade Foundation (Groningen):
  Two generators, walkers, baby strollers, children's clothing, and musical instruments for the music school in Nedrygailov.
• KWR Waterkwartier (Nijmegen):
  UPS (uninterruptible power supply), voltage stabilizer, and evacuation chair.
• Opsterland Municipality:
  30 used laptops (which can operate during power outages thanks to their batteries), four wheelchairs, and two walkers.
• Operations Venlo / Customs Support:
  Free processing of necessary customs documents.
• Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands and Marshal of the Podkarpackie Province (Poland):
  Support in preparing the necessary documentation.
