“It’s a very important job for us and our team help these old people every day. We are trying to help with their problems, to provide medicine.”Three retired seniors wait on a bench outside for a chance to see the doctor or a nurse. They speak with The Canadian Press through an interpreter. “I’ve been living in Korsun for more than two years. There’s not regular help here. There was no humanitarian aid for five months,” she says while waiting to see the doctor.Mathieu Leonard, program manager for the Canadian Red Cross in Ukraine, says the country’s health-care system is under strain.
The Canadian Red Cross is also helping refurbish some community centres being used to house the displaced, Leonard says, by making sure the buildings have proper plumbing and heating.
