As if Ukraine hasn't gone through enough, some are calling the country's Kakhovka dam breach its "worst ecological disaster since Chernobyl." The flood has forced thousands on both the Russian and Ukrainian side of the dam to evacuate. Now, the United Nations released a statement saying Russia is blocking aid to Moscow-controlled areas affected by the flooding. This isn't just about water – it's about lives.

According to the World Health Organization, the impact of the flooding on water supplies, sanitation and sewage systems, and health services is devastating. Tens of thousands of people in southern Ukraine are suffering right now, left without homes, sanitation, and clean water.
Sadly, the death toll has already risen to 52 and over 11,000 people in Ukraine and Russia have been evacuated. We must ensure aid reaches those who need it most, no matter where they are, and regardless of political disputes!
