Germany's Federal Government this year will provide support to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to continue the implementation of the programs helping internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine in the amount of EUR 1 million, the German Embassy in Ukraine has said.

"The project, which was supported by the federal government last year with EUR 1 million, provides financial support for the most vulnerable IDPs in Ukraine. This year it will be extended from the current eight to 13 regions," the embassy reported.

The assistance measures will benefit primarily the elderly, the disabled, single parents and families with many children who will receive the assistance for rent, clothes, food and medical care.
