REFUGEES

The government of Romania Thursday approved the provision of new emergency humanitarian aid amounting to EUR 185,000 for the management of the Ukrainian refugee crisis. Also as of Thursday, a governmental information platform is available to Ukrainian nationals benefiting from temporary protection in Romania. At protecţieucraina.gov.ro, refugees can find all the necessary information on the rights and services they can receive, how they can enter Romania or answers to frequently asked questions in the legal field. The Romanian Border Police announced that on Wednesday little over 10,000 Ukrainian citizens entered Romania, down 13% since the previous day. Since the start of the crisis in Ukraine on February 24, nearly 1.1 million refugees have entered Romania. Most of them transited the country towards Western Europe, but several tens of thousands applied for asylum or temporary protection from the Romanian government.
