Nine tonnes of humanitarian aid donated by generous North Tyneside residents has arrived in war-ravaged Ukraine and will now be distributed to those most in need.
The consignment, including food, desperately needed medical supplies, clothes, sanitary products and bedding, arrived in Lviv in western Ukraine on Monday via Lithuania and Poland.
Now the team behind the shipment – Newcastle Rubbish Taxi - is preparing to send another nine tonnes of much needed supplies collected from across North Tyneside to the border city of Lviv, which has found itself at the centre of Ukrainian war preparations and refugee movements since Russia’s invasion on February 24.
