Twenty-five people arrived in the region after being forced to leave their homes in the Donetsk region due to the danger. These are people with disabilities and retirees who require special attention and care. Along with their owners, their four-legged, furry, loyal friends—cats and a dog—also made the difficult journey.
Police officers, medical personnel, rescue workers, psychologists, and volunteers helped carry their belongings and create a safe space after the long journey.
Going forward, all evacuees will be housed in one of the communities in the Dubno district.
Other regions of Ukraine continue to take in residents of Donetsk Oblast. Yesterday, 13 people with limited mobility traveled to the Ternopil region. Two more were sent to the Lviv region to receive long-term nursing care.
In the first half of September, 315 evacuees from Donetsk were housed free of charge in 15 regions, including 94 people with limited mobility and 36 children. The free housing program continues with the support of the host regional state administrations and donors from the “Sхід SOS” Charitable Foundation, the “Coordination Humanitarian Center” Charitable Organization, and the “Save Ukraine” Charitable Foundation.
