After Another russian Attack, the EAST SOS Team Supported Residents of Zaporizhzhia

On the night of July 5, russian forces once again attacked Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs, hitting an apartment building. Three people were injured as a result of the attack, including a 14-year-old boy. Nearby buildings and cars were also damaged.

In the morning, specialists from the EAST SOS Charitable Foundation were there to support the affected residents. They provided 14 legal consultations and 5 psychological sessions.

“There had already been a strike not far from this building recently, and people had only just started to recover from it. Today, they had to live through another attack. You could see how chronic stress, exhaustion, and the feeling of constant danger pile up and affect people’s condition. It is difficult for them to cope with such pressure. Our team is trying to stay close and give them at least a little comfort,” said Yuliia Talapova, EAST SOS psychologist.

If you or your loved ones are in Zaporizhzhia and need assistance, please contact Zatyshno Space, the psychosocial and legal support space, at: 3 Pivdennoukrainska Street, opposite the Mimmo restaurant, Myru Street bus stop.

Legal support for affected people was provided within the project “Integrated humanitarian response for conflict-affected Ukrainians and third-country nationals in Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Moldova,” with the support of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe and financial support from the German Federal Foreign Office.
