Living conditions for displaced persons were upgraded with international aid
A group of evacuated residents from the occupied Oleshky, Kherson Region, has been settled into a newly renovated temporary shelter in Zakarpattya. The displaced individuals have been provided with necessary appliances and social support services. This was reported by Ukrinform citing Myroslav Biletskyi, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
Local authorities in Zakarpattya Region have ensured the placement of citizens who fled from temporarily occupied areas of the Kherson Region. According to Myroslav Biletskyi, head of the Zakarpattya Regional Military Administration, the premises prepared for internally displaced persons have undergone recent renovations.
Support from international organizations
The facility was prepared with the assistance of several charitable and public structures. Efforts to create comfortable living conditions involved the Proliska Humanitarian Mission, Austrian charitable organizations, and the Ukrainian Red Cross Society. Joint efforts have ensured the facility is equipped with modern home appliances.
Social and medical adaptation
Specialists in the region will work with the newly arrived residents of Oleshky. Medical and social services in Zakarpattya will provide comprehensive assistance aimed at the physical and mental recovery of the displaced persons following the hardships they endured.
Context of occupation and evacuation
The situation in Oleshky became critical after the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, when a significant part of the city was submerged. Russian invaders obstructed rescue efforts, restricting access for international missions and seizing boats from local residents.
Despite constant shelling by Russian troops, evacuation trips to Ukrainian-controlled territories were conducted by volunteers and military personnel. Efforts to evacuate civilians from the occupied left bank of the Kherson Region are ongoing.
