During monitoring, along with traditional analysis of observance of rights and freedoms of residents, assessment of risks for life and health of these persons in relation to anti-terrorist activities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions received particular attention. Monitoring of educational, health care, and social protection institutions There are 62 in-patient social protection institutions for the elderly and persons with disabilities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including some of them in the territory of active military actions. By the end of last year, 39 out of 553 health care institutions terminated their activities. There is 21 residence for elderly citizens and citizens with disabilities on the territory temporarily outside of control of Ukrainian government (11 institutions in Donetsk and 10 institutions in Luhansk) with over 4.5 thousand residents. As of 20 February 2015, there were 119 children with disabilities and 61 persons with childhood disabilities resident at institutions in the territory of active anti-terrorist operations (children’s unit of Rovenky regional residence for people with disabilities, Krasnodon regional childcare residence of Luhansk region and Shakhtarsk childcare residence). On the territory controlled by Ukraine and in the zone of military action there are 16 educational institutions in Luhansk (1854 children) and 54 institutions in Donetsk regions (7659 children). As noted above, position of the Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed back in June 2014, included the need for evacuation of these facilities to safe regions or districts controlled by Ukraine within these regions. Further monitoring confirmed that relocation of facilities of regional jurisdiction within one region is not always a solution of the issue since the threat for life and health of residents remains high due to instability of situation at Donbas. 18
