Ukrainian ombudsman coordinates care for evacuees from oleshky

Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian parliament's human rights commissioner, reported that the first residents evacuated from Oleshky have completed their medical treatment and returned to their families.

These residents were moved from the occupied territory following a humanitarian mission facilitated by international mediation. The office of the ombudsman continues to provide medical, social, and psychological support to other evacuees.

Workers from the Kyiv Center for Administrative Services and the Pension Fund of Ukraine visit hospitals to help people obtain internal displacement certificates and housing allowances. The office also coordinates with charitable and human rights organizations to ensure residents receive ongoing support after they leave the hospital. Lubinets stated that the government provided evacuees with essential items like phones, clothing, and hygiene products during the process. Officials also helped residents organize bank cards, identification codes, and passports at the hospital.

For those who cannot live with relatives, the office is arranging temporary housing and planning to help people relocate to specific regions of Ukraine next week. The humanitarian mission involved a ceasefire and a safe corridor for the evacuation. Residents of various ages, including a 94-year-old person and a one-year-old child, were moved to the Ukrainian-controlled side. The mission also successfully transported over 60 animals, mostly cats and dogs, which are currently undergoing veterinary examinations.
