Emergencies Ministry plane to deliver humanitarian cargo for Luhansk and Donetsk regions in Rostov-on-Don

Today a Russian Emergencies Ministry Il-76 plane will fly from Ramenskoye airport to the city of Rostov-on-Don to deliver over 32 tonnes of humanitarian aid. Most of it is medications.

In Rostov-on-Don the medications will be loaded to the trucks that will join yet another humanitarian convoy that is now being built in Don Rescue Center. Soon it will deliver in Luhansk and Donetsk regions foodstuffs, medications, essentials and other goods necessary for the people in Donbass.

Earlier, since the middle of August 2014, Russian Emergencies Ministry convoys have delivered over 38 thousand tonnes of humanitarian aid to the people in Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
