Kharkiv - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has delivered over 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid for people living in those parts of the Luhansk region that are now controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, Iryna Heraschenko, the Ukrainian president's commissioner for Donbas crisis resolution, has said.

According to the ICRC, it has already delivered over 100 tonnes out of the 800 tonnes of the Ukrainian aid to residents in the Luhansk region, she told reporters in Kharkiv on Aug. 22. “This is primarily perishable foodstuffs, vegetables and some flour,” Heraschenko said.

The remaining 700 tonnes are at warehouses in Starobilsk and Severodonetsk, she said. ICRC representatives are ready to deliver it to Luhansk but have yet to receive security guarantees.
