Emergency Aid Center for Kyiv Residents
An emergency aid center has been established in Kyiv's Dniprovskyi district to assist residents following a hostile attack on January 20. The center offers consultations and support to those affected. It is located at 18 Igor Shamo Boulevard. Residents can call for assistance at 093-952-17-48 or 099-001-54-35.
Impact of the Attack on Kyiv
In the early hours of January 20, Russian forces launched an attack on Kyiv, causing widespread power and water outages across the city's left bank. Water supply has been cut to nearly the entire left-bank area, including the:
- Desnianskyi
- Darnytskyi
- Dniprovskyi districts
In the Shevchenkivskyi, Solomianskyi, and Holosiivskyi districts, water pressure remains significantly reduced.
After 10 a.m., utility workers managed to restore electricity to 162,000 households, but 173,000 families remain without power. Over 5,635 apartment buildings are also without heating. The metro system operated on a modified schedule due to the severe strain on the electrical grid.
The aid center provides guidance on applying for assistance, psychological and legal support, and help with filing claims for material aid. This support is critical as the city's infrastructure has been severely compromised by repeated attacks.
This situation underscores the urgent need for aid to civilians affected by ongoing hostilities. The establishment of this assistance center is a vital step in supporting residents who have lost access to essential utilities. As the conflict continues, such initiatives form a crucial foundation for recovery and emergency response for the civilian population.
