生活費支給、半年延長へ　ウクライナ避難民支援で政府

　出入国在留管理庁は、ロシアによる侵攻から逃れて来日したウクライナ避難民への支援策に関し、現在当面６カ月間としている生活費支給をさらに半年延長する方向で調整に入った。侵攻から半年が経過したものの先行きは見通せず、避難生活の長期化に対応するのが狙い。９月にも正式決定する。政府関係者が２４日、明らかにした。（2022/08/24-17:42）

The Immigration Services Agency of Japan is planning to continue to provide living allowances to Ukrainian evacuees in the Asian country for another six months, as the war in Ukraine is prolonged, government sources said Wednesday.
   The agency will officially decide the continuation as early as next month, amid uncertainties about when the evacuees will be able to return home.
   Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced Japan's policy of accepting Ukrainian evacuees on March 2, and a total of 1,778 Ukrainian people came to Japan by Monday. Of them, 154 did not have any relatives or acquaintances in Japan as of Sunday. Japan provides living allowances to such evacuees.
   While staying at temporary accommodation facilities, evacuees are provided with daily allowances of 500 to 1,000 yen. After leaving such facilities, they are given 1,200 to 2,400 yen. The allowance amounts are based on Japan's welfare system.
   Lump-sump allowances of 80,000 to 160,000 yen are also paid to evacuees when they leave temporary facilities after finding their supporters.
