V2, Line 01
So here we are at the Inhulets river,
V2, Line 02
which has overflown.

00;00;04;18 - 00;00;08;11
V2, Line 01
Actually this part used to be underwater.
V2, Line 02

00;00;08;11 - 00;00;11;06
V2, Line 01
It’s still very much flooded here.
V2, Line 02

00;00;11;06 - 00;00;13;04
V2, Line 01
You can’t see it but there is a bridge.
V2, Line 02

00;00;13;04 - 00;00;15;00
V2, Line 01
There used to be a bridge here.
V2, Line 02

00;00;15;00 - 00;00;18;21
V2, Line 01
So the communities are cut off from each other.
V2, Line 02

00;00;18;21 - 00;00;22;22
V2, Line 01
Our main activity as MSF is water supply,
V2, Line 02

00;00;22;22 - 00;00;26;23
V2, Line 01
because the flooding has contaminated the wells.
V2, Line 02
That’s one [reason].

00;00;26;23 - 00;00;30;17
V2, Line 01
And secondly the bigger water pumping stations
V2, Line 02
and cleaning stations

00;00;30;17 - 00;00;33;07
V2, Line 01
have been destroyed and
V2, Line 02
they are under water actually.

00;00;33;07 - 00;00;34;24
V2, Line 01
So they can’t function.
V2, Line 02

00;00;34;24 - 00;00;39;22
V2, Line 01
So water supply, to make sure
V2, Line 02
people have access to clean drinking water.

00;00;41;23 - 00;00;45;17
V2, Line 01
To avoid waterborne diseases
V2, Line 02
and outbreaks, which could occur

00;00;45;17 - 00;00;47;05
V2, Line 01
following the flooding.
V2, Line 02

00;00;47;05 - 00;00;49;22
V2, Line 01
Also hygiene kit distribution
V2, Line 02
and medical assistance

00;00;49;22 - 00;00;51;29
V2, Line 01
is a focus on these communities.
V2, Line 02

00;00;52;23 - 00;00;57;09
V2, Line 01
Who, we shouldn’t forget have
V2, Line 02
been under occupation for most of 2022.

00;00;57;25 - 00;01;01;02
V2, Line 01
Then there was fighting to recapture this area.
V2, Line 02

00;01;01;02 - 00;01;02;25
V2, Line 01
A lot of the villages were destroyed.
V2, Line 02

00;01;02;25 - 00;01;06;00
V2, Line 01
And now are having to deal with this flooding.
