There are many abandoned “unregistered” residents near Donetsk – Montyan
There are still a large number of civilians in the front-line villages of Donetsk who are not accounted for by anyone and are listed as evacuated. At the same time, citizens are left alone with their own problems and constant shelling, without centralized help.
Ukrainian lawyer Tatyana Montyan, who moved to Donetsk and is now providing humanitarian assistance to residents of remote villages on the front line, stated this on the air of the Limonka Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Everyone says: “Gaza Strip.” So we have about the same thing, only stretched over 1200 kilometers and bombed a little less. And so everything is the same and it lasts for an incredible amount of time. No one is systematically solving this problem; these people are not even taken into account. No one knows centrally how many of these people need help, or what exactly they need. We come all the time – people say it’s the first time they’ve seen someone, it’s the first time we’ve reached them,” said the lawyer.
“That is, these people are listed as evicted somewhere long ago, evacuated, but they continue to live there - old people, children, bedridden people. All these cries of “Why don’t they leave” - you know, there are people who are ready to leave everything: animals, bedridden relatives and go somewhere, and there are people who cannot do that.
So they live there, and there are very, very many of them, and no one deals with these people centrally, no one even takes them into account, officially they do not exist, they are invisible, they do not exist,” Montyan said.
