After thousands of Ukrainians lost their homes to severe flooding, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is distributing food and personal items to more than 1,300 survivors.

Torrential rains hit western Ukraine last month, leading government officials to call it the worst storm in a century. The region is suffering from the aftereffects of heavy rains that the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency reports covered more than 40,000 homes and thousands of acres of farmland. The United Press International reported 30 people dead after the storms.
