Once completed, the effort will provide accommodations for around 200 people.
The Finnish Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that Finland has provided temporary housing to accommodate the displaced in the Ukrainian city of Irpen.
“Temporary homes are designed for ease of assembly, disassembly and transportation according to needs. They are accessible and intended for residential use all year round. There is a huge need for them in Ukraine: the United Nations estimates that 13 million people have been forced to leave their homes since the start of the war “, Phil SkinaryThe Minister of Development Cooperation said in a statement.
Once completed, the effort will provide accommodations for around 200 people.
Earlier this fall, after receiving a request from Ukraine, the ministry said it would provide temporary housing for Ukrainians who lost their homes in the war.
The ministry noted that the humanitarian situation in the country continues to deteriorate, with nearly 18 million people in Ukraine in need of emergency relief.
The ministry also announced plans to provide mobile accommodation for the use of rescue personnel in the war-torn country.
Mobile accommodation is needed “in areas that have been retaken or areas close to the front lines where infrastructure has been severely damaged and the risk of military action is high,” the ministry said, adding that Finland was aiming to deliver the units before winter.
“Ukrainian rescue personnel work in difficult conditions and are often near the front lines. The armored accommodation containers that Finland is sending to Ukraine will help local civilian rescue personnel to protect the civilian population. Ukrainian rescue personnel have an important role in extinguishing fires caused by explosions and rescuing people from collapsed buildings ” Krista Mekonnen.
