In Poland, which accepts the largest number of refugees from Ukraine, support for people with disabilities is also an issue as the evacuation life is prolonged.

Toru, a city in central Poland, accepts 59 people with intellectual disabilities who have been evacuated from central Ukraine.



In mid-March, the group evacuated to Poland by land for 26 hours, alleging that the Russian army's attacks had intensified.



However, there was no place to settle down, and it took two weeks to change, during which two people died.



In the end, the city of Toru provided a welfare facility that was vacant due to the relocation, where they lived in evacuation.



"I didn't know the degree of disability in advance, and I was full of anxiety until I arrived," said Adam Sponk of the city of Torun, who was in charge of the reception.



Ukrainians who are also evacuating support their evacuation life by providing meals and providing long-term care.



Of these, Arena Godfried said, "At first, it was difficult because I didn't know what to do, but I'm finally getting used to this job. It doesn't make sense to think about the future, so that day, one day. Thank God for spending time with me. "



A man who evacuated from Ukraine said, "Poland's food is delicious, people are kind, and the town is beautiful. I want to be in Poland."



The Polish government estimates that there are about 1,500 people with disabilities so far, but the details of the environment in which they live in evacuation are unknown.
