Czech humanitarian convoy arrives in Kiev

A Czech humanitarian aid convoy, organized by the Czech government, the Czech Red Cross and the NGO People in Need, arrived in Kiev in the early hours of Wednesday. Four trucks, an ambulance, and support vehicles transported medical supplies, blankets and other equipment for the people displaced from their homes by the conflict between Ukrainian forces and Russian separatists. The supplies will be unloaded in the course of the day and subsequently distributed in Kiev and other parts of Ukraine, such as Mariupol and Odessa. The convoy is expected to return to the Czech Republic on Thursday.
