Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] A total of 12 displaced people from Palestine asked to be enrolled in universities to receive free higher education in Dagestan, the republican ombudsman said after a meeting with refugees.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, by January 9, 156 migrants from Palestine, including 81 children, had been settled in Dagestan. 62 people have already received Russian passports, the issue of the legal status of other migrants is being resolved, the administration of the head of the republic reported. More than 30 migrants are ready to work in Dagestan, mainly in the healthcare sector, the head of the Republic’s Ministry of Labor reported.

Does this mean they’re doctors or that they’re janitors? It’s good that they want to work, but how much of a brain drain is this for Gaza?

From November 25 to December 7, 2023, five groups of immigrants from Palestine arrived in Makhachkala. Those who arrived will receive refugee status, the government of the republic announced. On December 23, authorities reported that 45 refugees had been given passports, and Russian language classes had been organized for their children.

The Commissioner for Human Rights in Dagestan Jamal Aliyev reported on today's visit to a temporary accommodation center for refugees from Palestine. “There are 156 people here who were forced to leave Palestine, of which 75 are adults and 81 are children under 18,” he explained in his Telegram channel.

The meeting was also attended by the first deputy head of the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Ilya Chechelnitsky, Aliyev noted. During the visit, the displaced people received “several requests, including requests to organize free higher education for Palestinian children,” the publication says.

“We are talking about 12 young people who want to get a higher education in Dagestan. These and other issues will be brought to the attention of the federal ombudsman by Ilya Chechelnitsky. All appeals have been taken under my personal control,” said the Dagestan ombudsman.

Let us remind you that Palestinian residents who arrived in Dagestan asked to be provided with cellular communications and the Internet, as well as to draw up documents. Some of them said that they intend to obtain Russian citizenship. All displaced persons are housed at a recreation center near Makhachkala.

#4 They were offered shelter because the children are half Dagestani, so it will be an interesting experiment in nature vs nurture.

#1 Dagestanis are going to find out that giving "Palestinians" a finger leads to. "Palestinians" are going to find out what "Caucausian Temper" means.
