The Government of Switzerland conducted its fifth humanitarian transport to Eastern Ukraine. In total 3’500 tons of quartz sand for water filtration are being delivered to Donetsk city. The sand was transported in 50 wagons all the way from a sand pit in Vinnitsya region to the premises of the water utility Vodadonbasa. It was already the second time that Switzerland used the railway to transport humanitarian goods across the line of contact. By supporting Vodadonbasa, Swiss Humanitarian Aid makes a tangible contribution to the functioning of the public water supply system in the Donetsk region, thereby helping to sustain the unhindered and continued access of the local population on both sides of the line of contact to drinking water.
