Krasnogorovka or the making of a humanitarian crisis.

On April 6 2015, we visit Krasnogorovka. What we saw is the evident beginning of a serious humanitarian crisis People living in unhealthy conditions, surround by mountains of rubbish, deficient water system, no windows, electricity, etc. We visit the city with the help of Pastor Vladimir Ivanov, director of the NGO « Good News Church ». Krasnogorovka it a small suburb of the separatist control city of Donetsk and control by the Ukrainian army. If the city is calmed, population on the limit of the town have to be aware of the presence of snipers 800 meters away in the separatist zone.

Pastor Ivanov go to Krasnogorovka to bring food, clothes, candy for kids in a city that is let to itself. We saw elderly people starving from having not eat for several days. I even spoke to a mother of three children who has absolutely any income beside the humanitarian aids that the Pastor and other donors are bringing to the town.

The photos of this reportage show the living condition of a population who already suffer a lot from a war that no one can predict when it is going to end.
