Over 51 thousand IDPs have been evacuated from Kherson region since de-occupation

At the end of the working week, Deputy Head of Kherson Regional Military Administration Olga Malyarchuk took part in a regular meeting of the Coordination Headquarters for Evacuation Measures and Effective Response to Mass Displacement.

According to the press service of the Kherson Regional State Administration, the meeting was chaired by Oleksiy Kuleba, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine, Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine.

It is noted that the participants of the meeting heard reports from representatives of regional military administrations on the security situation in certain regions and the need to evacuate the population from these territories.

"In Kherson region, the security situation remains difficult due to daily terror from the enemy. During the first day of 2026, Russian troops have already fired more than 360 shells at the region. Over the past year, the occupiers have used more than 234 thousand shells to strike the region's settlements. Therefore, evacuations in Kherson region are carried out systematically. Since the de-occupation of the right bank, more than 51,000 people have been evacuated, including more than 7,000 children and more than 550 people with limited mobility. Over the past week, 23 people were evacuated. The mandatory evacuation now applies to 50 settlements in the region that are under constant shelling," the statement said.

The press service added that in mid-December, two transit points were opened in Kherson, which can accommodate more than 70 people in total. At the same time, they are working to expand the capacity of the transit point in Mykolaiv.

For those who remain in the region, seven temporary accommodation facilities have been organized and a modular town has been opened. It currently houses 177 people, including 16 people with reduced mobility. Soon another such town will appear in the Dariivka community. So far, 20 houses have been built and 28 people live in them.
