Cash Assistance for Evacuees: Registration Launched by the Ukrainian Red Cross in Lozova

As of 20 August 2025, the Ukrainian Red Cross team has begun registering evacuees at the Lozova transit centre in the Kharkiv region. Each registered individual receives financial assistance of 10,800 UAH. Around 500 people are expected to receive support by mid-September, with the possibility of the programme being extended.

The assistance is provided to people evacuated from the Donetsk region — specifically from the Pokrovsk area and the following communities: Dobropillia, Bilozerske, Novodonetske, Kryvorizhzhia, Druzhkivka, Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, and Lyman. On average, 100 to 120 people are evacuated daily.

The Lozova transit centre was established as an additional facility to ease the burden on the overcrowded centre in Pavlohrad. Volunteers from the Lozova city-district and Kharkiv regional branches of the Ukrainian Red Cross are on-site daily. An emergency response team also operates at the centre, providing transport and distributing humanitarian aid as needed.

The Ukrainian Red Cross is the only humanitarian organisation providing direct cash assistance at evacuation sites. For those forced to flee their homes, this support offers crucial relief during a difficult time.

The project is being implemented with the support of the Danish Red Cross.
