Residents evacuated from the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region continue to arrive in Zakarpattia region, where they receive medical, social and psychological assistance, according to Ukrinform. Ukrinform reported that a group was housed on November 11 in a renovated temporary shelter in Zakarpattia, in an operation coordinated by the Office of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights with international partners, including U.S. First Lady Melania Trump. The commissioner's office said on Facebook that the evacuees had endured years of occupation, drone attacks and shortages of electricity, gas, food and proper medical care. Among them is a man whose severe leg injuries from a Russian drone attack in May were put in casts at the Oleshky hospital without a proper examination, because of a lack of electricity and equipment. His fractures failed to heal, and he is now being examined in Zakarpattia ahead of surgery. A woman who spent five years under occupation with her parents refused a Russian passport and now receives three meals a day at a regional sanatorium and rehabilitation facility. Evacuees are also being helped to obtain internally displaced person status, register with family doctors and receive rehabilitation.
