MORE than 5000 refugees fleeing war in Ukraine have arrived in Edinburgh, the City of Edinburgh Council has confirmed.
Of those who have come to or through the city, 2222 were warmly received by council officers and volunteers at Edinburgh’s Welcome Hub – where volunteers have clocked up at least 3465 hours day and night over 496 shifts, providing 536 rucksacks filled with donations and support to arrivals and their hosts.
