 [KavkazUzel] A group of four Palestinians arrived in Dagestan today; they were sent to a temporary accommodation center near Makhachkala.
| Once Hamas restarted the war, Egypt must also have closed the border to those who wished to escape. |
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on November 21, the Dagestan authorities announced that they were ready to accept up to 200 refugees from Palestine, and 8.2 million rubles
| ...at about 91 Russian rubles to the dollar, that’s about $90,000, which doesn't sound nearly as generous... |
had been allocated for their accommodation. From November 25 to 27, three groups of Palestinians arrived in Makhachkala, more than 140 people in total. IDPs from Palestine will receive refugee status , the government of the republic announced.
Residents of Palestine who arrived in Dagestan asked to be provided with cellular communications and the Internet, as well as to issue documents. Some of them said that they intend to obtain Russian citizenship. All displaced people are being housed at a recreation center near Makhachkala, government officials said.
This morning, a “small group” of four people who were forced to leave Palestine arrived in Dagestan by train and were met by representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and doctors, the Dagestan government said.
“Currently, they are already in a temporary accommodation center near the city of Makhachkala, where social service employees are working with them,” says a message on the government’s telegram channel.
This is the fourth group of residents of the Gaza Strip who were accepted in Dagestan, the publication notes. “On the instructions of the head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergei Melikov, the necessary conditions for comfortable living have been created for refugees, issues of their further stay in the region are being resolved (in terms of paperwork, education of children, employment, and so on),” the government of the republic reported.
Let us recall that on November 21 it became known that a working group had been created in Chechnya to receive 250 refugees from Palestine, and places had been prepared for them in the children's health camp "Gorny Klyuch" in the village of Avtury, Shalinsky district.
The first group of Palestinians arrived in Chechnya on November 29, it included 51 people - 38 natives of Russia and 13 natives of Palestine. On December 1, the second group of migrants of 116 people arrived in Chechnya . It was decided to place them, like the first group of Palestinians, in a health camp in the village of Avtury.
The reception of immigrants from Palestine was organized in Dagestan and Chechnya on the initiative of the federal authorities, Caucasus experts Akhmet Yarlykapov and Ruslan Kutaev suggested. The decision to accept a small number of Palestinians was made by the authorities of the republics, since it is beneficial to their image and will not hit the budget, objected political scientist Sergei Zhavoronkov.
Also on November 30, a family of eight Palestinian refugees arrived in Kuban and stayed with relatives. In total, since the beginning of the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, 31 refugees from Palestine have arrived in the Krasnodar region, the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.
