This is a thread to show how the world’s biggest human rights, humanitarian, environmental and animal protection organisations failed Ukraine midst the #KakhovkaDam collapse near #Kherson : the biggest man made catastrophe in decades.

Starting with giants like @ICRC @UNOCHA that failed to provide any substantial assistance in #Kherson yet already bragging on Twitter about magical 2000-7000 people they’ve helped, while Ukrainians on the ground report nothing of the sort.
@ICRC is cooperating with russia and accepting worldwide donations, yet failed to help people on occupied by russia territories like Oleshky: locals now report dozens of bodies flowing on the streets.
organisations like @ICRC AND @UNOCHA run billion dollar donations campaigns using “Ukraine crisis” as a bait for over a year now. Yet they are nowhere to be seen when thousands of civilians (mostly elderly and disabled) are drowning in real time, unable to evacuate.
Biggest human rights organisations like @hrw and @amnesty stayed silent about Ukrainians unable to evacuate from the occupied by russians 🇺🇦 territories. I guess a human right to survive does not apply to 🇺🇦. Yet both of these orgs collect donations regularly.
Environmental and animal protection organisations like @Greenpeace @WWF @UNEP @ejfoundation also didn’t mention #kakhovkadam in any way despite the catastrophe already killed thousands of animals in 1 day, wiping the whole ecosystem for decades to come.
Locals report that water smells of oil. Reports show that russians dumped over 150 k tons of oil waste into water. Was there any reaction from @JustStop_Oil about #KakhovkaDam ? Not even a mention.
So far no country offered to send rescue teams to Ukraine to help evacuate people and animals. Even during the full scale russian invasion, Ukraine sent its rescuers to eliminate the consequences of the earthquake in Turkey. Hope that will change soon
Right now, the russians are shelling the evacuation site for civilians in flooded #Kherson
I would call it a war crime and a human rights violation, but let’s see if any renowned human rights organisations will mention that

Want to help Ukraine? Never donate to the big organisations. Look for direct local 🇺🇦 charities or volunteers. For example, right now @LyrYevhen is running a big campaign and can use any help: requisites and ppal inside quicknote.io/9a7e32e0-47e8-…
