DefenceU   Today, russian terrorists attacked a vehicle of the international humanitarian organisation Road2Relief in Chasiv Yar, killing two volunteers - the director of Road2Relief, Emma Igual, a Spanish citizen who studied at the University of California at Berkeley, and Anthony Ihnat, a Canadian citizen. Two other volunteers, both German citizens, were injured. Road2Relief's efforts are entirely focused on civilian projects: the evacuation of civilians in war zones, medical evacuation, humanitarian aid distribution to frontline communities, and the provision of mobile clinics that assist local residents who are unable to leave their homes. They make every effort every day to mitigate the consequences of the systematic terror of civilians by the russian occupiers. A painful, irreparable loss. Emma and Anthony will forever be in our hearts. Last edited5:58 pm · 10 Sep 2023 · 22.7K Views

Catalan volunteer Emma Igual was killed on Saturday morning in a Russian convoy attack in Ukraine. The director of the NGO Road to Relief found herself and her team inside a vehicle during a crossfire in the Bakhmut region, north of Donetsk.

At around 10 am, the Road to Relief team left from Slovyansk toward Bakhmut to assess the needs of civilians caught in a crossfire in the town of Ivanivske, in the same region, as the NGO published on social media.

A hit flipped the vehicle over and lit it on fire. Accompanying Igual there were German medical Ruben Mawick, Swedish Johan Mathias Thyr, and Canadian Anthony "Tonko" Ihnat. While Mawick and Mathias Thyr were "badly injured with shrapnel wounds and burns," they are now stable in different hospitals. Ihnat's body was found dead and retrieved, while Igual's "current status is still unknown," the NGO wrote on Saturday evening.
