    Dnipro Railway Station is a hub for thousands of internally displaced people from all over Ukraine. People fleeing from hostilities arrive at Dnipro, some to settle in this city and some stopping off on their way to somewhere else.

     Olha, Olena and Dmytro from Dobropolie (Donetsk region) are leaving Ukraine in search of safety abroad. Like so many others they have been waiting for a train for hours. Yet, when talking about their future hopes and desires, Olena said: “I want to come back home”.

     On 17 March, the ICRC provided 400 sleeping mats to be distributed by the Ukrainian Red Cross (URCS) to people sheltering in Dnipro Railway station. The ICRC provided a further 100 mats to people in other temporary accommodation in the city. Snacks and some warm meals are also provided at the shelters. The URCS volunteers, supported by the ICRC, have been offering food and hygiene items to people at the station, including water, tea, snacks, soap, toilet paper, paper towels and diapers.
