@IOM_ROVienna@IOMatEU IOM provides a large-scale support to the central heating station in Mykolaiv, which covers almost half of the city. The Regional Director and the mayor discussed how IOM can further support thousands of local and displaced people of the city, with reliable critical services.
After the initial visit to the IOM mobile clinic, Larysa was waiting for the second consultation to undergo an ultrasound diagnostic. Living in a collective centre in a remote community far from the regional centre, she can receive complex medical services only from IOM medics.
Thanks to @sweden2023eu for convening and inviting IOM Ukraine’s Chissey Mueller to present at the conference prevention models to address the demand that fosters trafficking for sexual purposes.
As the war in Ukraine is in its 2nd year, I met with Deputy Minister of Economy, Tetyana Berezhna, to reaffirm IOM's commitment to support full economic and social recovery of Ukraine. IOM has assisted nearly 3.5 mil people since the war began.
The signs of shelling in Mykolaiv are heart-breaking. A year ago, 37 people have died when a missile hit the premises of the regional administration. On the eve of this anniversary, IOM Regional Director Manfred Profazi visited the city and met with its mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych
In the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, @unmigration handed over a mobile boiler to a children’s hospital.
