Emergency response following the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine

The breach of the Nova Kakhovka dam in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions of Ukraine on 6 June 2023 triggered a major human and ecological crisis. The devastating consequences of this disaster added to the existing humanitarian hardships, brought about by the ongoing conflict ravaging the region.

The Artelia Foundation contributed to funding the Ukraine programme of the NGO Solidarités International, which aims to provide an emergency response following the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam. Bottles, water filters and hygiene kits were supplied to the region and mobile water treatment plants were installed and brought into operation in isolated villages.
