生活費支給、６カ月延長　ウクライナ避難民支援―入管庁

　出入国在留管理庁は１４日、ロシアによる侵攻を逃れて来日したウクライナ避難民に対する生活費支給などの支援策について、６カ月延長すると発表した。当初は一時滞在施設に入所後、半年程度を想定していたが、いまだ情勢の先行きが見通せないため、継続を決めた。
　入管庁によると、岸田文雄首相がウクライナ避難民受け入れを表明した３月２日以降、９月１２日までに１８７８人が来日。このうち１２日現在で１７９８人が日本に在留しており、１０４人は一時滞在施設に入所している。生活費支援は、身寄りのない避難民が対象で、１４日までに計２２４人に対して支給した。（2022/09/14-18:35）

Japan's Immigration Services Agency said Wednesday it will extend a program by six months to provide living allowances to Ukrainian people fleeing from the Russian invasion of their country.
   The program was originally set to end about six months after the evacuees moved in temporary accommodation facilities. But the agency decided to continue providing the support as the situation in the East European country is still fluid.
   According to the agency, a total of 1,878 Ukrainians came to Japan between March 2, when Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced his administration's policy of accepting Ukrainian evacuees, and Monday.
   As of Monday, 1,798 of them were staying in the country, including 104 at temporary facilities.
   The living allowances are offered to evacuees who do not have any relatives or acquaintances in Japan. They have so far been provided to 224 such people.
