As humanitarian aid burns, bishop implores: ‘Don’t forget Ukraine’

A bishop in Ukraine has decried the destruction of thousands of pounds worth of humanitarian aid by a drone strike on Lviv as an attack on the most vulnerable.

Bishop Edward Kawa, Auxiliary Bishop of Lviv, told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the drone strike on the Caritas-Spes warehouse in his diocese on Tuesday (19^th September) was “an attack on the poorest and most needy”.

He explained that “all the relief goods” stored in the burnt-down facility “should have gone to Kharkiv and Pavlograd in the following days”.
