Kyiv, January 21, 2016.<\/strong> <\/em>About 15 thousand people sought help of volunteers of Vostok SOS civic initiative. The list of most frequently asked questions the hotline received includes the following: where is it possible to receive humanitarian, legal and psychological aid. \u201cAt first we were helping one another, but then we understood that the requests were too numerous and people didn\u2019t know what to do. We organized a hotline working 24\/7, so that people could find out how to leave the occupied territory, where they can find shelter, what first aid \u2013 clothes and such \u2013 they can get in different regions of Ukraine,\u201d said Yulia Peliusova, coordinator of Vostok SOS at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center in frames of the Spokesperson of Peaceful Life project.<\/p>\n

Activists have been bringing food packages for people at front areas since September 2014. \u201cWe laid emphasis on the villages from the \u201cgrey area\u201d which are usually beyond the reach of international organizations,\u201d said Peliusova. The aid is distributed personally. According to Peliusova, volunteers have been bringing food for over a year now. Nevertheless, it is as urgent new as it used to be a year ago. \u201cThere are no food shops there and no money. Moreover, transport connection is poor,\u201d she explained. We have established fruitful cooperation with several international organizations that are providing food packs.<\/p>\n

Vostok SOS opened offices in Severodonetsk, Stanytsia Luhanska and Starobilsk. People go there to receive legal and psychological aid, seek help in freeing hostages, solve issues regarding employment etc. It is planned to open offices in Mariupol and Kramatorsk this year. Aid is also rendered to internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in Kyiv and Kyiv region, as well as people from Crimea, in online mode. \u201cMostly it\u2019s the information on the ways to go to Ukraine [from the temporarily occupied territory \u2013 ed. UCMC] and further solve issues with passports, documents and employment,\u201d said Peliusova.<\/p>\n

Activists keep monitoring the situation in areas nearby the contact line in close cooperation with local authorities. They are spreading the received news via social media, their own web-site, \u201cInformator\u201d news portal and Hromadske.TV channel. Moreover, members of the initiative are promoting adoption of the draft bills that solve IDP\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

Volunteers are planning to expand their activity, adding new priorities. \u201cOur plan is not simply helping, but developing the society. We want to lay emphasis upon education, both so-called \u201cstreet universities\u201d and workshops to encourage personal development,\u201d said Peliusova.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
