The nonprofit says everyone escaped before impact, thanks to an elderly man who warned the team. While no injuries were reported, Mercy Chefs says the vehicle — which was one of its main delivery vehicles — was destroyed.
"The vehicle [was] essential for delivering food and supplies to families in active war zones," the nonprofit shared.
Mercy Chefs says since 2022, they've been serving hot meals in Ukraine amid the country's ongoing conflict with Russia.
