Evacuees From Oleshky Savour First Proper Meals in Years in Kyiv as WFP Serves Hundreds Arriving From the Frontline Town
UN News reported on November 13, 2026, that in a hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, staff and volunteers are serving chicken soup, bread and buckwheat porridge to patients recently evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky, in Ukraine's southern Kherson region.
Olha is one of hundreds of people evacuated from Oleshky in late October under a brief ceasefire who are now receiving medical check-ups and treatment in Kyiv hospitals. The World Food Programme and its Ukrainian partner, Iskra Dobra, were the first humanitarian responders to provide hot meals the moment they arrived. Richard Ragan, WFP Country Director in Ukraine, said it was the first proper meal they had had in years.
Oleshky was occupied after the war erupted in 2022, sat on the frontline and was eventually cut off from humanitarian assistance, with food in short supply. WFP said it has provided the equivalent of 4.1 billion meals to Ukraine's most vulnerable people. (Source: UN News)
