Aid packages for Brovary

A transport with relief supplies has departed from Jena for the joint Ukrainian solidarity partner city of Brovary. The delivery includes rehabilitation beds and bedside cabinets for the central clinic in Brovary. The goods will help to improve medical care in the Ukrainian partner municipality. This is urgently needed as the number of war veterans is increasing.

The aid packages are being provided and financed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH as part of the "Improving civil protection and reconstruction in municipal partnerships with Ukraine" program. The aid packages were selected by GIZ after consultation with the Ukrainian partners. Both the city of Jena and the city of Erlangen will each receive a package with rehabilitation equipment and a minibus with a wheelchair ramp for Brovary. The German municipalities are committed to organizing and covering the costs of transporting the aid supplies to their Ukrainian partner municipality.

As the twin towns of Jena and Erlangen maintain a triangular partnership with Brovary, the transportation of the relief supplies procured by GIZ will be pooled. The first part of the rehabilitation equipment is currently on its way to Brovary. The second part is expected to be delivered to the German municipalities in March. The minibuses are due to arrive in Jena in the coming weeks and preparations are being made for their prompt transportation to Brovary.
