The bombing blew out windows and doors. The shelter's residents in Kryvyi Rih found comfort with Caritas Czech Republic

On the eve of winter, damp and cold prevailed in the rooms of the Polytechnic College dormitory in the frontline town of Kryvyi Rih. A drone attack damaged the windows of the building, sheltering more than 120 evacuees from the combat zone. Most of them are single elderly people and people with disabilities. As part of a life-saving aid project, we replaced the windows so that the shelter's residents could stay warm.

Winter during wartime is a dangerous trial for the front-line communities. Much of the infrastructure here is damaged. Electricity is almost non-existent, and homes can only be heated with firewood. Zoya Mykolayivna lives in a village 30 km from the combat zone in Dnipropetrovsk region. It is extremely difficult for a lonely pensioner to survive the cold. We do not leave such people alone in their hardship and deliver solid fuel and winter kits so that they can feel warmth and care again.
