Ukrainian Ombudsman helps Oleshky evacuees reunite with families

The Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, announced that the first group of evacuees from Oleshky, a city in the Kherson region, left a hospital to rejoin their families.

The Ombudsman's Office coordinates government services and charitable groups to provide medical, social, and psychological support to these residents. While some people have already been discharged, others continue to receive care.

Staff from the Kyiv Administrative Services Center visited the hospital to help people complete paperwork for internally displaced person certificates. Workers from the Pension Fund of Ukraine also assisted residents in applying for living allowances. The government provided evacuees with essential supplies like clothing, phones, and hygiene products during their stay. Officials also arranged for residents to obtain bank cards, passports, and tax identification numbers directly at the hospital.

Some residents received a specific payment of UAH 3,000 to purchase glasses. Lubinets stated that officials will help the remaining residents travel to their chosen regions of Ukraine next week. The office is currently arranging housing for those who cannot stay with relatives and is planning for the care of people with limited mobility. A ceasefire took place from October 27 to November 1 to allow these humanitarian operations to occur.
