The aim of the survey was to identify key humanitarian needs in these communities. The main areas of support identified include the restoration of housing stock, infrastructure, provision of social services, education, and addressing economic challenges.
The results revealed that 51.3% of communities need housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Additionally, 65.3% of respondents reported a lack of access to temporary housing, which is a critical issue for IDPs.
The presentation of the results highlights urgent needs for the restoration of damaged housing, creation of new jobs, and improvement of employment opportunities. The importance of providing psychological support and organizing vocational training was also noted as crucial for the social integration of community residents.
