Staff safety is a top priority for HEKS/EPER
Since the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, HEKS/EPER has been providing humanitarian aid for the civilian population in Ukraine and adjoining countries. That process was hit by tragedy on 1 February 2024, when a targeted drone strike killed two HEKS/EPER staff members and wounded four others, some severely, as they conducted a humanitarian fact-finding mission in Southeastern Ukraine.
