As the government of Ghana has begun evacuating Ghanaian nationals who are stranded in Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has released the contact details of persons who are on standby to assist evacuees.
The latest move was disclosed in a press statement released on Saturday, February 26 after the rescuing of the first batch of the students.
The statement also cautioned the public against persons posing to be designated officials for the evacuation exercise.
Meanwhile, the Church of Pentecost has provided contact details of its branches and representatives in various countries bordering Ukraine for Ghanaians stranded in that country to seek refuge and assistance.
A flyer released by the church urges all Ghanaian nationals to call designated phone numbers in the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine itself.
“Students and other persons at Ukraine who have been able to reach the border countries should please contact the following numbers as soon as possible,” the instruction on the flyer reads.

God bless PENSA and save our compatriots,” he wrote on Facebook to caption a copy of the “Urgent help for stranded students in Ukraine” flyer.
