Refugees

The Romanian Minister of Health, Alexandru Rafila, has said that the number of requests for medical assistance from people coming from Ukraine is low. 80 refugees are currently hospitalized in Romania, Rafila said after the meeting convened by Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca on the measures that Romania is managing following the Russian military aggression in Ukraine. The Minister of Education, Sorin Cîmpeanu, has announced that the number of Ukrainian students attending Romanian schools will be 1,140 at the beginning of next week, out of a total of almost 34,000 minors who have arrived in the country since the start of the conflict. He added that the second category, which is the most numerous, is that of Ukrainian students who want to continue schooling according to the Ukrainian curriculum, and for this they need logistical support, first of all, from the Romanian schools. More than 8,600 Ukrainian citizens entered Romania on Friday, according to the Border Police General Inspectorate. Their number is down 13% from the previous day. Since the outbreak of the war, almost 550,000 Ukrainian citizens have crossed Romania’s borders.
