Dnipro, Ukraine - A year after a missile struck a nine-story residential building in Dnipro, Ukrainian Red Cross volunteers who responded remember it like it was yesterday. “Another volunteer and I were working in one of the districts of our city when we heard the explosion,” said Natalya Rubcke a volunteer with the Dnipro Red Cross Emergency Response Team. “It was a mess at first, everyone was running around, crying, screaming.” The team provided first aid, psychosocial support, set up a safe place for people who lost their homes. “The fact that we can help people by providing some kind of assistance and support, by doing something for people, is what inspires us to continue working, that's why we are volunteers.” The Ukrainian Red Cross is working hard to provide emergency services to those impacted by the ongoing fighting, while also supporting the recovery and reconstruction efforts in many parts of Ukraine. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies with more than a dozen partner Red Cross organizations supports the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
