On the other side of the border with Crimea: Ukrainian police found children in a landfill
In the Kherson region of Ukraine, on the border with Crimea, police discovered two families who lived with children right at a garbage dump.
This was reported by the regional patrol police department, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
People lived in the dump in makeshift sheds. They explained to the police that they had come from the Transcarpathian region to Kherson to earn money. At the same time, the youngest children did not even have documents.
“Patrol officers found two families there. They lived in makeshift buildings assembled from scrap materials. A total of 7 children aged from one and a half to 14 years lived in conditions of complete unsanitary conditions and lack of basic hygiene products. The younger ones didn’t even have a birth certificate.
Adult citizens said that they all came from the Transcarpathian region to work several months ago. There are no funds to go home yet. That’s why they work here – they sort and process waste.
The police took the identified children and their mothers to the children's department of the clinical hospital. The issue of returning families home is being resolved,” the message says.
