The maximum payout from the Czech NGO 'People in Need Ukraine' can reach up to $4,000. Additionally, the UN Refugee Agency offers financial aid of 10,800 UAH, and the 'Right to Protection' foundation provides 3,600 UAH per family member over three months.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended the identification deadline for internally displaced persons to July 1 of this year, simplifying access to state support. This measure helps conflict-affected families obtain vital assistance during a difficult period.

This program represents a critical step in supporting families facing hardship due to the conflict, offering them essential financial aid and resources to improve their situation.

Given the prolonged crisis in the region, such initiatives can significantly impact the well-being of affected families and their ability to recover. It is therefore crucial that as many eligible people as possible take advantage of this support opportunity.
