The cabinet of the Draghi government, which met this afternoon, approved the allocation of another 30 million euros for the accommodation – in total – of 175,000 Ukrainian refugees. To the 60,000 refugees already housed in the homes of friends and relatives, the Italian government will provide financial support for three months.
Part of the financial resources will be allocated directly to the refugees, while the rest of the money will support the efforts of municipalities, regions and voluntary organizations. The provision of benefits will be reconsidered, in case the guests manage to find a job.

Businesses will also be able to request a settlement of their energy bills in May and June, up to 24 installments.
In total, financial assistance will be provided to 5 million households in the country, to deal with the continuing increase in electricity and gas bills.
