In brief

Residents evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky are receiving medical, psychological and social support in Zakarpattia. One man with severe leg injuries is being prepared for surgery.

Residents evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky in Ukraine’s Kherson region are receiving medical examinations and rehabilitation in Zakarpattia, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing the regional administration. Assistance also includes restoring documents, registering as internally displaced people and signing up with family doctors.

One evacuee suffered severe leg injuries in a Russian drone attack in May, the report said, without specifying the year. A hospital in Oleshky lacked electricity and the necessary equipment, and applied a cast without a full examination. His fractures failed to heal despite prolonged treatment at home; he is now undergoing examinations and preparing for surgery in Zakarpattia.

Another evacuee has been accommodated at a regional sanatorium providing three meals a day. She described how her family survived food shortages under occupation by growing vegetables in their garden.

A group of Oleshky evacuees was housed at a refurbished temporary accommodation centre in Zakarpattia on November 11, according to RBC-Ukraine. The report did not specify the group’s size or when rehabilitation would be completed.
