On 4 November 2022, IOM made a donation to the Emergency House in Lamac in Bratislava that can provide temporary housing to 50 displaced people from Ukraine. The delivery was organized in the coordination with the District of Lamac.

Since the central heating has not been available at the accommodation, IOM responded to this urgent need and delivered to the facility 6 radiators, in addition to 8 sets of hangers, 5 racks, 2 kettles, 2 irons, 1 dryer and 1 vacuum cleaner.

With the coming winter months, the needs of people who fled the war in Ukraine slightly change. There is a demand for items that help manage low temperatures during the winter and make housing more welcoming. Even basic wardrobe accessories can give people a feeling of not being on a run, and clothes can finally be stored outside of suitcases and bags.

IOM staff also helped place items to the temporary housing unit so that it is prepared for the usage by people in the facility.
