Drinking water is also supplied to the camp on a regular basis. Dry firewood is delivered to the refugees. They themselves equip the camp - they build huts and huts.

Doctors are also on duty here, ready to provide emergency assistance if necessary.

Refugees complain that many people get sick because of the cold, especially children, who, according to various estimates, are about 500 people here. New groups of refugees continue to arrive in the camp. All of them want to get to the countries of Europe.
