Some assistance centers in the country are closing, Prague is congested. Liberec KACPU continues to operate Company News Liberecká Drbna
The Liberec Region does not yet plan to close the Regional Assistance Center for Assistance of Ukraine (KACPU), although the number of arrivals is declining. On the other hand, the mayor of Prague Zdeněk Hřib wants to close the local center on June 15. According to Hřiby, the reason is the congestion of the capital and the lack of a system of relocation of those fleeing the war to less busy regions.
The center opened in the Liberec Region on March 1, and operates in a regional building that previously housed a large-capacity vaccination center. “Currently, the occupancy of our refugee center is around 20 percent, although the number of people coming to the center is declining, we do not intend to close it now. Although there are fewer than before, I consider it human and right to continue to help them in their difficult beginnings in a foreign country. In addition, it is our duty to operate a regional assistance assistance center, as government regulations related to the state of emergency are still in place. “ said the governor Martin Půta.
The maximum capacity of the center is currently set at 350 refugees a day, 318 Ukrainians have passed through here for the whole of last week. According to the governor, the main staff of KACPU’s activities is now accommodating people who need care until they are paid a humanitarian benefit. “It simply came to our notice then. I’m very happy that everything is going without major complications,According to Půta. According to him, the region has contracted capacities for accommodation of approximately 5,500 refugees, so it is able to accommodate newcomers or relocate refugees from places where the accommodation providers terminate the contracts.
So far, 13,000 Ukrainian refugees have passed through the Liberec center, providing approximately 4,150 people for the region and accommodation. Since mid-May, traffic is limited on weekends, but in the event of a large group arriving, police officers, people from the social department and, for example, health insurance companies are on call to handle and accommodate refugees.
