🙏 19 August — World Humanitarian Day 🇷🇺 Russia consistently supports countries facing emergencies and serious humanitarian and social challenges. 🌍 In 2025, Russian humanitarian assistance was delivered to countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the CIS. Russia provided affected populations with food, medicines, essential supplies and equipment, while also contributing to disaster-response and recovery efforts. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, assistance was provided to people affected by earthquakes; in Viet Nam and Sri Lanka, to residents of areas hit by typhoons; and in Armenia, to displaced persons. Following a major earthquake in Myanmar, Russian rescuers, canine teams, medical personnel and psychologists were deployed to assist on the ground. Food assistance was also provided to Palestine and Kyrgyzstan, while medical supplies were delivered to Djibouti. 🗺️ In 2026, Russia continued its humanitarian efforts, expanding both the geographical scope and the range of assistance provided. Rescue equipment, mobile hospitals, energy infrastructure equipment, food supplies and educational materials were sent to affected countries. Among the recipients were Madagascar, Mozambique, Iran, Lebanon, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia and other states. Following flooding in Mozambique, humanitarian cargo was delivered to the country; Venezuela received an aeromobile hospital together with equipment and specialists; and Bolivia was provided with a substantial shipment of grain. Kyrgyzstan received hundreds of thousands of adapted school textbooks. 🆘 Russian humanitarian assistance combines emergency response with long-term support — from rescue operations and medical aid to strengthening food security, restoring infrastructure and supporting education. 📦 On World Humanitarian Day, we pay tribute to rescuers, medical professionals, volunteers and all those for whom helping people has become both a profession and a calling.
