⚡️ The Dutch non-profit organisation Zeilen van Vrijheid has launched a campaign for flood victims in the Kherson region. The donations will be used to buy water testing kits as well as water cleaning pills. The former will help control water quality and protect people from outbreaks of epidemics, while the latter will make contaminated water safe to drink and allow it to be stored for a longer period of time when there is no permanent supply.
