According to the city’s rabbi, Jews are fleeing Mariupol in Eastern Ukraine in massive numbers.
Rabbi Mendel Cohen, speaking to The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday, said not only have members of his own community fled the city, which has been subject to artillery bombardment in recent days despite the truce, but also those Jews who took refuge there from the rebel stronghold of Donetsk.
Mariupol had a pre-war population of some 500,000, while Donetsk, 100 km. to the north, had around a million inhabitants.
Cohen, who has been in Israel since the beginning of the month, said the local community organizations, run by Chabad, have enabled “hundreds” of Jews to leave the embattled city, which lies directly on the rebel line of advance.
The community is working to find its members apartments in other cities, including Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Kiev and Zhitomir, where there is a makeshift refugee center in a converted summer camp.
The community had sent buses with those looking to leave to Zhitomir and Dnepropetrovsk, as well as evacuating the families of 14 children who attend the Jewish kindergarten.
These children will remain in Zhitomir for up to 10 days before the prospects for return are assessed, the rabbi said.
Out of those who fled Donetsk for Mariupol, he said, maybe 10 or so remain.
More than 100 families from Donetsk arrived in Mariupol in recent weeks, together with Pinchas Vishedski, their rabbi.
Allegedly, the Jews do not feel the rebels are “Antisemites,” and are simply fleeing the area because they are cowards.
