Ukrainian refugees have been made homeless in the UK after relationships with hosts broke down.
660 Ukrainian households requested homelessness aid from local authorities.
There are huge gaps in the plans put in place to assist them.
An eyebrow is raised at the beginning, and the door is slammed shut at the end. A language error, the incorrect technique to load the dishwasher, and an awkward pause followed by a courteous invitation to leave.
We met with six recently arrived Ukrainian refugees who were made homeless in the UK when their relationships with British hosts broke down, leaving them feeling lost and alone while also having to deal with a mountain of red tape.

It’s unclear how big the issue is right now. The Ukraine Family Scheme, which allows Ukrainians to be hosted by family members in the UK, and the Homes for Ukraine scheme, where Ukrainians find a local “sponsor” through friends, charities, or even social media, and jointly apply for a visa, are the two programmes that have allowed 77,000 Ukrainians to enter the UK since the war began.
The UK government claims that “the vast majority… are settling in well.”
However, 660 Ukrainian households requested homelessness aid from local authorities between February 24 and June 3, according to recent preliminary statistics gathered by the UK government. And those numbers do not provide the complete picture. Conflicts between UK hosts and members of the Ukrainian community in London are frequently discussed in social media forums for that community.
We have spoken to several refugees who have been forced homeless in those locations, but almost a quarter of local authorities have not yet provided any information. There are huge gaps in the plans put in place to assist them, as revealed by two compelling testimonies of unrelated women.

General Manager of MG Motors Pakistan Syed Asif Ahmed has said the company plans to introduce three models of completely knocked down (CKD) cars in Pakistan, including the HS model, as part of its five-year plan. In a statement to Business Recorder , Ahmed said Pakistan was a “very CKD-oriented market”. CKD vehicles are assembled locally compared to completely built units (CBUs) that need to be imported. “We are working closely with the Engineering Development Board. Despite global logistical crises, especially in China after Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions, plant equipment has arrived in Pakistan. We are working day and night to get it operational in the current fiscal year,” the general manager told Business Recorder . However, he did not specify the other two CKD models the company would introduce. “We want to provide Pakistan customers with multiple options and features in our vehicles,” he added. Ahmed said the safety features in locally assembled cars were “conside...
Federal Health Minister Qadir Patel on Wednesday announced that the government will begin vaccinating children between the ages of five and 11 against coronavirus "within a month or two" as he called for a return to Covid precautionary measures. At a media briefing of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) in Islamabad today, he said vaccines for children in the 5-11 year age bracket were only available with Pfizer. "We have engaged in a dialogue with them. Hopefully, by August or September, we will receive 6.8 million doses from Pfizer which is a step forward," he said. Covid cases in Pakistan, the minister noted, had increased in the last few days. "The situation is not worrisome [yet] but it requires the public to be cautious." For this purpose, the government is proposing three standard operating procedures (SOPs) that need to be "followed religiously", he said. "We ...
