Romania was and will be a ‘space of safety and tranquility’ for the waves of Ukrainian refugees, said the Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă, emphasizing that our country assumed from the first moment the role of a reliable European and international partner in the management of this crisis. He participated, on Friday, in Bucharest, in the presentation of the Report on Romania’s efforts and achievements in the field of humanitarian assistance to refugees, children’s rights and other vulnerable categories for the year 2022. Ciucă showed that more than 3 million Ukrainian citizens crossed Romania’s borders in the last 12 months, of whom over 2.5 million benefited from direct support from the Romanian Government or from partners: free transport, food, clothing, shelter, long-term accommodation, emergency financial aid, tens of thousands of free medical and social interventions and services, access to the labor market and Romanian schools. At the same time, the Prime Minister reiterated that the fight against human trafficking remains a priority of him and of the Government and highlighted the efforts made regarding the rights of children and people with disabilities.
