Ombudsman spoke about assistance to citizens who arrived from Ukraine
On April 1 and 3 of this year, the first organized groups of forced migrants from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics arrived in our republic.
The number of internally displaced persons is 1,380, of which 327 are children. 905 people are accommodated in 8 temporary accommodation centers.
In the Republic of Tatarstan, for this purpose, in 2020, a WeTogether headquarters was created, which included large volunteer organizations: Medical Volunteers, Youth of the ONF, the republican branch of the Russian Red Cross and others. The Information and Resource Center for Volunteering of the Republic of Tatarstan unites municipal resource centers for volunteering throughout the republic, which made it possible to quickly mobilize more than 1,000 volunteers to provide assistance to internally displaced persons.
More than 300 tons of humanitarian aid have already been collected. Everyone can get involved in the work, because at the moment there are many options to help: donate funds, bring the necessary items to humanitarian aid collection points, become a volunteer, organize a cultural event. Dealing with any situation is easier when we do it together.
