Clothes STORYLINE: Dozens of residents of the devastated eastern Ukrainian city of Izium gathered to receive food packages and other aid on Wednesday as electricity, gas and running water remained cut off in the city following a long occupation by Russian forces. "We need food. We took bread because we have no bread. We have no money to buy it," said Izium resident Nataliya Lytovchenko. Volunteers distributed bread, apples, toiletries and other necessities as people scrambled to receive the much-needed aid. Few stores are operating in Izium, and many of those who have stayed in the city have little money to purchase necessary goods. "We try to prepare firewood, we warm the windows. we cover everything, I want to warm up," said Izium resident Maryna Kozar. Izium served as a hub for Russian soldiers for nearly seven months before being recaptured by Ukrainian forces in a rapid counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region in early September. Few of the buildings in the city survived without being damaged or destroyed by artillery, missiles or fires, and an investigation by The Associated Press found that at least 10 torture sites were maintained in the city by the Russians. Residents on Wednesday browsed through boxes and crates of donated clothing on the town's central square, preparing for colder weather that is coming even as many homes have damaged roofs and windows and no electricity or gas for heating. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
