Volunteers of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) from three regions have evacuated people from Zaporizhia region to Zakarpattia in western Ukraine.
The emergency response units from the Ukrainian Red Cross in Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Zakarpattia regions assisted in evacuating people from a frontline community in Zaporizhia region to a safer location in Zakarpattia, the URCS said on Facebook on Tuesday.
Volunteers evacuated four people with health issues who require additional support, including a 99-year-old woman. Their pets, two cats, were also transported to safety.
The evacuation was carried out in several stages.
