Kherson lacks food and medicine, but humanitarian trucks are already in city

Adviser to Kherson City Mayor Roman Golovnya announced this live on air of the United News telethon.

"Regarding  the humanitarian disaster, it is indeed difficult, because Russian occupying forces and collaborators did everything possible to make those people who remained in the city suffer as hard as possible during these days of waiting, weeks of waiting, months. And now the city is critically lacking first of all water, because there is practically no water supply in the city. Now there is not enough medicine, there is not enough bread, it is not baked, because there is no electricity. And, accordingly, problems with food. I think that this issue will be resolved in the near future", Golovnya said.

He also assured that there are already humanitarian cargoes near Kherson in order to help people of Kherson in resolving these issues as quickly as possible.

"There is information that one or two cars with humanitarian aid have already arrived, the military is facilitating this. And I think that in the near future, in a few days, there will be humanitarian aid. Cars with humanitarian aid are now being organized in Mykolaiv, which will go to Kherson. This should happen literally in the near future", the mayor's adviser emphasized.

He said that according to his personal calculations, there are currently around 70,000-80,000 people living in the city. Before the full-scale war the regional center had 320,000 residents..
