The 24-tonne aid shipment of the Ecumenical Aid Organization also reached Bucsa, near Kiev, where, in addition to food and hygiene products, they also brought generators
- informed the president and director of the charitable organization on Kossuth radio on Friday.
László Lehel - who logged in from Zaporizhia - recalled that the aid organization has been working in Transcarpathia for a long time, and after the outbreak of the war they expanded their activities, now they work in seven counties.
They provide 208 refugee hostels in Transcarpathia, they opened their representative office in Lemberg, they took aid supplies beyond the Carpathians, they started distributing aid very close to Mariupol, and now they have reached Kiev and its surroundings with aid supplies.
According to him, they visited Bucsá, Irpiny and Borogyanka on Thursday, and were received with great love everywhere.
Nowhere did they ask why Hungary does not deliver weapons, but they said
"Oh, it's good that you're here, you're the first to come to us as foreigners and bring aid," said the president-director.
László Lehel also touched on the fact that they have been working in Ukraine for many years as an officially registered organization, and that they already helped internally displaced people during the war in Eastern Ukraine. He added: this makes their work easier, because the logistics systems needed to deliver the aid shipments to their destination have already been developed, and the governorates everywhere closely monitor their work and know how much Hungary is helping. As he said
the Ecumenical Aid Organization has so far taken forty 24-ton trucks of donations to Ukraine.
