[KavkazUzel] Two residents of the Gaza Strip arrived in Dagestan today and were sent to a temporary accommodation center, the republican government reported.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on November 21, the Dagestan authorities announced that they were ready to accept up to 200 refugees from Palestine. The republican authorities allocated 8.2 million rubles for their placement. On November 25, the first group of refugees from Palestine, consisting of about 50 people, arrived in the republic.

By November 30, three groups of Palestinians arrived in Dagestan. IDPs from Palestine will receive refugee status, the Dagestan government announced. All refugees are housed at a recreation center near Makhachkala, government officials said. Residents of Palestine who arrived in Dagestan asked to be provided with cellular communications and the Internet, as well as to issue documents; some of them intend to obtain Russian citizenship. On December 2,  the fourth group of refugees from Palestine arrived in the republic  .

Today, two more residents of the Gaza Strip were met in Dagestan; they arrived on the morning train to Makhachkala, the Dagestan government reported today in its Telegram channel.

“This is already the fifth reception of refugees organized in the region. Accompanied by employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and doctors, they went to a temporary accommodation center, where more than 150 of their fellow countrymen already live,” the message says.

As follows from the photographs attached to the message, Emergencies Ministry employees met the man and woman at the train, helped them unload their belongings and escorted them to a temporary accommodation center.

177 refugees from Palestine arrived in Chechnya in three groups; they are housed in the Gorny Klyuch health camp in the village of Avtury, Shalinsky district. The first group of Palestinians arrived in Chechnya on November 29, it consisted of 51 people, including 38 natives of Russia and 13 natives of Palestine. The head of the Ministry of Nationalities of Chechnya, Akhmed Dudayev, at a meeting with refugees from Palestine, said that refugees should maintain cleanliness and be more organized, and they  should not rush the Chechen authorities to solve their problems .

Caucasus experts Akhmet Yarlykapov and Ruslan Kutaev previously told the Caucasian Knot that the reception of immigrants from Palestine was organized in Dagestan and Chechnya on the initiative of the federal authorities. Political scientist Sergei Zhavoronkov believed that the decision to accept a small number of Palestinians was made by the authorities of the republics, since it is beneficial to their image and  will not hit the budget.

Today, 50 refugees from the Gaza Strip, including 21 children,  arrived in Kabardino-Balkaria , they are housed in a sanatorium in Nalchik. Users of the social network noted that it is appropriate to accept refugees when the republic’s own problems have been solved, users of the Instagram* public pointed out in connection with the arrival of refugees from Palestine in Nalchik. Their opponents considered such statements unacceptable and expressed their readiness to help the Palestinians.
