The European Union has provided 130,000 EUR through its Confidence Building Measures Programme, implemented by UNDP, to support the Moldovan authorities\u2019 and local communities\u2019 response to the needs of refugees from Ukraine arriving in the Republic of Moldova.<\/p>\n
With the support of the cross-river Health Platform created under the EU Confidence Building Measures Programme, 1,500 refugees that are temporarily accommodated on both banks of the Nistru River will benefit from sanitary kits including essential medicines and medication for people with diabetes, personal protective equipment, as well beds, duvets, bed linen, and pillows.<\/p>\n
To support refugees, the Health Platform has mobilised six volunteer teams, comprising five people each. The refugees from Ukraine will also benefit from medical and psychological consultations.<\/p>\n
From the onset of the aggression against Ukraine, 10 diesel heater fans were donated to the refugees\u2019 distribution centre in Palanca on the border with Ukraine. The Regional Centre for Rehabilitation of Victims of Domestic Violence from Gagauz- Yeri, offering shelter to refugees, received 20 units of equipment and household appliances, making accommodations more comfortable.<\/p>\n
