On behalf of the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Service, the Crimean Metropolitanate collected and delivered humanitarian aid to the Kursk Region – aid to residents of settlements affected by the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Employees of the Special Humanitarian Center of the Crimean Metropolitanate visited Kursk, as well as villages in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts.
Our team visited a number of temporary accommodation points, traveled to a number of villages, where bread and food packages were distributed. Together with representatives of the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Service, we took part in a meeting with the Administrator of the Kursk Diocese, Metropolitan Herman of Kursk and Rylsk. We studied the situation on the spot and are planning how to further organize humanitarian trips.said the head of the Special Humanitarian Center of the Crimean Metropolitanate, Archpriest Dmitry Krotkov.
Father Dmitry drove through the villages of the Korenevsky district (5-10 km from active military operations), and also stopped in the villages of Pushkarnoye and Zhadino, from where a request for food was received on August 8 (only elderly people remained in the villages and food supplies were running out).
It should be noted that all requests from the population are received on the hotline of the Synodal Department for Charity 8-800-70-70-222. Right now, the most needed items are: long-life products, hygiene products, new bedding.
During the trip, Dmitry Krotkov handed over food products from the Patriarchal Humanitarian Mission to the center at the Youth Department of the Kursk Diocese. Part of the humanitarian cargo was collected in Crimea, part was formed by the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Service.
Well, and to the villages of Pushkarnoye and Zhadino of Korenevsky district, Crimeans brought bread, water, household and food sets, medicines. Each food set includes tea, sugar, salt, pasta, stewed meat, canned fish, vegetable oil, candies, sweets, packages of rice, buckwheat. Each individual set is formed on the basis of 4-6 days.
In the future, Church representatives plan to visit other villages with food supplies and, if necessary, take part in the evacuation of people. So far, people have refused all offers to evacuate, they are afraid of marauders and hope that everything will end soon.
My father Dmitry and I and our team have returned from another humanitarian trip. There are military actions going on in the Kursk region, but people are trying to unite and help those who are now forced to leave the frontline zone and their homes. We left food and hygiene products at the humanitarian aid distribution point so that they could be distributed to the displaced persons. We drove to the frontline zone, where we left bread and food. I sincerely thank you for your participation, for your help.— said the head of the public organization «Andreevsky House of Mercy» Andrei Tanygin.
Crimeans are confident that now, more than ever, it is important to help our neighbors and not remain indifferent to the misfortunes of others.
