Vårt arbeid i Ukraina

Publisert 18. jun 2017
Ukraina
Flyktninghjelpen startet sine aktiviteter i Ukraina mot slutten av 2014, for å hjelpe mennesker drevet på flukt av konflikten som har berørt over fem millioner mennesker.

Humanitært overblikk

Den væpnede konflikten i Øst-Ukraina som brøt ut i 2014 forblir uløst til tross for flere diplomatiske forsøk og våpenhvileavtaler.

Over 5,2 millioner mennesker er rammet av konflikten og rundt 800.000 personer er permanent fordrevet internt i landet. Over 3.000 sivile har blitt drept. 2 millioner mennesker lever i regjeringskontrollerte områder fylt av udetonerte eksplosiver.

Omtrent 3,5 millioner mennesker i landet trenger humanitær hjelp. Mange rammede ukrainere, spesielt ved frontlinjen, mangler tilgang til grunnleggende tjenester. Her er sysselsettingen lav, det er vanskelig å få tilgang til medisinsk hjelp, og mange mangler skikkelig husly, oppvarming eller nok mat.

Selv om bevegelsesfrihet er en utfordring, anslås det at rundt én million sivile risikerer livene sine ved å reise mellom regjeringskontrollerte områder og områder kontrollert av ikke-statlige aktører hver måned for å holde kontakt med familien, passe på eiendommer og få tilgang til butikker og helsetjenester.

Flyktninghjelpens arbeid

Flyktninghjelpen støtter internt fordrevne ukrainere i regjeringskontrollerte konfliktområder i Luhansk-regionen og i de nordlige områdene i Donetsk, særlig langs frontlinjen.

Vi responderer i utgangspunktet på grunnleggende behov, men ettersom den interne fordrivelsen har blitt langvarig, har vi også begynt å bidra til mer varige løsninger. Arbeidet vårt i Ukraina er på vei fra akutt nødhjelp til aktiviteter knyttet til tidlig gjenoppbygging.

The protracted crisis in the Donbas region of Ukraine is well into its sixth year. The contact line continues to separate Government controlled area (GCA) and Non-Government controlled area (NGCA) of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This separation isolates much of the population in GCA from important services and livelihood providers in urban centres in NGCA. Along the 427-kilometre contact line, there are five open exit-entry checkpoints (EECP) in Hnutove, Novotroitske, Marinka, Maiorsk and Stanytsia Luhanska, where internally displaced and conflict-affected people cross to visit relatives, buy food and other goods, receive social payments and check on their property. Since the opening of these EECPs, the number of people crossing the contact line continues to grow. Every month, there are about 1,3 million people recorded crossing through all five of the EECPs. Long queues and correspondingly, long waiting times at checkpoints continue to be reported. During their journey to cross the contact line, very often people face difficult weather conditions and slow processing times. These civilians who cross the contact line have limited access to basic services such as drinking water, latrines, weather shelters, heating, and medical care.

The entry/exit control point “Maiorsk” is one of four vehicle and pedestrian crossing points in Donetsk region. It is located about 20 km from the non-government controlled Horlivka town. The grey zone between the Ukrainian checkpoint and self-proclaimed “DPR” is the widest among all of the EECPs. After the ECCP was opened in early 2015 there was no bus connection in this corridor, people had to walk nearly 2-3 kilometres to take another bus. The situation changed in 2016, when it was agreed to launch bus shuttles. Over the period of its existence, the EECP has had many temporary closures due to escalation of the hostilities. Every day at least 7,000 people, mostly elderly, cross this entry-exit point to get their pension and social payments, visit their friends and relatives, buy essential goods. While crossing the contact line, concerned civilians are often exposed to serious security and safety risks such as minefields along the roads, periodic shelling and queuing at the checkpoints in harsh weather conditions for long hours. 50-year old ski-instructor Oksana is one of many people waiting for hours to cross the entry-exit point. “I left Alchevsk town on the non-government controlled area (92 km away) at 07:00 in the morning. It is afternoon, and I have not passed yet. There were times we were waiting for several days to cross, because of military hostilities. I currently live in government controlled Kharkiv with my husband. Comparing with other internally displaced people it is easier for me to adapt to new city, because I have my own apartment and job there. I am not planning to come back to my hometown, because there is no job for me there. Many people left, mostly elderly remained in the town”, - says Oksana.

Iryna is 10 years old, and Liliia’s eldest daughter. She still remembers the night their house was hit. Iryna and her sibling all suffer from post-traumatic stress. It is hard to concentrate at school and she has nightmares and anxiety. “The main concern for me now is that the active phase of the war does not break out again. I am afraid that my house will be destroyed again. After all, we hear the sounds of shots every night,”says her mother Liliia. Background story: Liliia Poturoieva is 39. She has experienced terrible events that completely changed the life of herself and her large family and left an indelible mark on everyone's soul. She lives in the frontline village of Verkhnia Vilkhova in Stanytsia Luhanska district, Luhansk region. Liliia has six children. The oldest is Oleksandr. He is 20. He lives separately from his parents and earns his own living. Ihor is 12. He is a shy and calm schoolboy, always ready to help parents with the housework. Her eldest daughter Iryna is 10. She is a schoolgirl and mother's main housekeeper. She cooks and looks after younger children. Yana is 7. She is a first-grade pupil. She is a cheerful, active and very energetic girl. The children are forced to go to school in a neighboring village 5 kilometers away, since there is simply no school in their village. Her youngest son Illia,5, and daughter Aryna, 2, are always staying at home with their mother. The family cannot afford a kindergarten for children. Now Liliia is pregnant again. This will be the seventh child in the family. Her husband Viktor helps her to cope with all of them. Before the conflict, the whole big family lived in a small house with two rooms. There was no work. The main income was child allowances and random earnings from the cows, goats, rabbits and poultry. “There was no work in the village. There was no opportunity to travel to other settlements to work. We tried to make money by selling milk”. In February 2015, at midnight, heavy shelling began. Viktor, Liliia's husband, went out into the yard to see the direction of the shots. Suddenly a shell fell near their yard, and the second shell landed 7 meters away from Viktor, who was standing on the house porch. Viktor got a serious shell shock and lost his hearing for a while. The blast wave knocked out all the windows in the house. Under one of the windows there was a child's bed, where Liliia’s youngest son slept. That night Liliia saved the life of her son with her son. “When the blast hit, I covered my baby with my own body, and the glass from the broken window hit me in the back”. The consequences of that shelling are still noticeable. Liliia has problems with her speech. She is stuttering. She is not the only one. “The children experience anxiety, concentration problems, fears and, as a result, urinary incontinence”. The house was seriously damaged in the blast. All the windows were broken, the front walls were destroyed and the roof and the foundation were seriously damaged. However, Liliia and her family did not dare to leave because it was too risky to leave the house unattended. They tried to repair the house on their own. They covered the broken windows with plastic wrap. They even had to spend their nights in the basement because it was the warmest and the safest place in their household.There was no help from the local authorities. “At first I didn’t want to ask for help. I did not believe that anyone would really help us. My husband advised me to go to the NRC office and find out about the Heavy repair project, because he heard that NRC had already helped someone in the village”. Now the house is in the process of restoration. There is a new slate on the roof. Renovation works on the walls have been completed. Three small rooms for the children have been completed. New windows have been installed and internal works are being carried out now. “The main thing for me now is that the active phase of the war does not break out again. I am afraid that my house will be destroyed again. After all, we hear the sounds of shots every night”, Liliia says. Photo: Ingebjørg Kårstad/Norwegian Refugee Council
