A Newry based refugee group has urged its council to increase support as it warns of a “surge” of Ukrainian people escaping the war this Christmas.
The ‘Hope for Ukraine’ charity has highlighted the potential “new wave” of refugees as Russia steps up attacks on civilian areas this week.
The group has raised its concerns as Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) revealed that it will now operate its Ukraine Assistance Centre at a lower level, despite resettling almost 130 families in the first six months.
