Poland has the largest number of people in neighboring countries, about 2.38 million, evacuating from Ukraine.



On the street corner of the southeastern city of Rzeszow, a new distribution center for relief supplies operated by the local government and the Red Cross has been set up this week.

On April 1st, while it was raining, many people visited and received groceries and daily necessities collected by donations from individuals, businesses, and abroad.



The mother, who had two young children, received diapers and food for infants and said, "I just need everything and I want you to continue to support me."



A 15-year-old girl who said she couldn't take almost anything out of her home said, "It's free, so it's very helpful," and she received toothbrushes, shampoo, and sanitary supplies.



On the other hand, a 40-year-old woman said, "It is difficult to find a job and I came to get help, but all Ukrainians who have evacuated are hoping for a job opportunity. I want to put a burden on people in other countries. There is no such thing. "



According to the person in charge at the distribution center, financial support is needed to continuously distribute daily necessities, and many people say that they want to get a job but there are no job offers.



More and more people are looking for jobs to support a prolonged evacuation life, and according to the Polish government, about 17,000 people evacuated from Ukraine so far have got jobs in the country, but only a few. It means that it is.

There is also a movement to support the birth of evacuees

As many people from Ukraine continue to evacuate abroad, there are moves in neighboring Moldova to support the birth of those who have evacuated.



Olga, a 27-year-old woman who evacuated from Odessa in southern Odessa to neighboring Moldova on March 3, gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing 3,200 grams on the morning of March 31.



The National Center for Maternal and Child Science and Medical Care in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, where Olga gave birth, is supporting the birth of women evacuating from Ukraine, and so far 13 people from 12 mothers, including a pair of twins. A new life was born.



Olga, who left her husband in Ukraine and evacuated with her 4-year-old son, initially planned to return to Ukraine to give birth, but decided to give birth in Moldova because there was no hope of returning home. I was admitted to this hospital from the end of March and underwent cesarean section surgery.



Her mother and child are both healthy, and Olga said she "if my daughter grows healthy and has peace, that's enough."



Olga is looking forward to seeing her baby to her husband, who is waiting there, as she gradually returns to Odesa as the situation in Ukraine calms down.



"In a difficult situation, giving birth in a foreign country is very difficult, and we immediately decided to help women in neighboring Ukraine," said Maxim Kazak, a spokeswoman for the National Center for Maternal and Child Science and Medical Care. We will continue to accept it for free as long as we need it. "
