WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A JOINT PROJECT WITH THE UNITED NATIONS CHILDREN'S FUND (UNICEF) FUNDED BY THE EU, ANOTHER HUMANITARIAN AID WAS ORGANIZED

August 14 2020within the framework of a joint project with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) "Protection of Children in Migration Processes", funded by the EU, another humanitarian aid in the form of hygiene products and personal protective equipment was organized to migrants from Tajikistan stranded on the border between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Migrants at the Zhybek Zholy checkpoint previously carried out labor activities in different cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan and found themselves in a vulnerable position in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as they did not manage to leave the Republic of Kazakhstan before the borders were closed.

The total number of Tajik citizens who received humanitarian aid was 90 people, including 10 women and 6 children. All of them expect the opening of the border and return to their homeland. An information campaign and explanatory work was carried out among migrants on the prevention of COVID-19, as well as compliance with safety measures to prevent the spread of infection while waiting through the distribution of booklets in Tajik, Russian and Kazakh languages.
