Today, 20 transit centers operate in Ukraine in several regions. The largest number of them is in Dnipropetrovsk region – eight, including in the cities of Pavlohrad, Dnipro and the villages of Stepove and Voloske.
Five transit centers operate in Sumy region, two in Kharkiv, three in Volyn, one in Mykolaiv and one in Zaporizhia.
Since the beginning of August 2024, the transit center in Pavlohrad has received more than 36.7 thousand people. In Lozova, more than 12.2 thousand people have passed since August 19 of this year, in Voloske since August 23 of this year – more than 5.3 thousand people.
In transit centers, people receive comprehensive assistance: humanitarian, medical, psychological, legal and social. They are helped to restore documents, arrange payments and social services, and receive financial support from the state and humanitarian organizations.
After the transit center, evacuees can use the services of free temporary accommodation facilities (TFP). There are 1,111 of them in Ukraine. They provide over 80.5 thousand beds for IDPs. Currently, more than 7.7 thousand places remain vacant. Over 3.5 thousand places have been created for people with disabilities and people with limited mobility, of which 76 are free.
The largest number of TFPs has been created in the following regions: Dnipropetrovsk – 135; Zakarpattia – 111; Kharkiv – 78; Kirovohrad – 77; Lviv – 68; Poltava – 64; Chernivtsi – 63; Vinnytsia and Ivano-Frankivsk – 60 each; Rivne – 58; Khmelnytska – 57.
The evacuation of the population is taking place in close cooperation between the State Emergency Service, the National Police, local communities, volunteers and international partners. Specialized units are working directly in the frontline areas – the Phoenix group of the State Emergency Service and the White Angel group of the National Police.
They are equipped with armored vehicles, medical supplies and equipment for transporting people of all population groups. At the same time, the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity, together with local communities, organizes the transportation of citizens with limited mobility to hospitals and specialized institutions immediately after their evacuation.
The main task remains to ensure proper living conditions for vulnerable groups of the population and to open new temporary accommodation points in safer regions of the country.
