Bucharest – A space dedicated to children and families crossing the border into Romania to escape the war in Ukraine was inaugurated on August 7 at the Border Crossing Point (BCP) in Siret, Suceava County.
The space was designed to provide a safe and welcoming place for children and families forced to leave their homes due to the conflict. It is equipped with appropriate facilities and necessary resources to provide basic assistance, meeting the immediate needs of mothers with children.
Refugees from Ukraine continue to cross the border into Romania, with approximately 70% of them being women and children, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
The initiative is part of a series of joint efforts and collaboration between Romanian authorities and international organizations to effectively respond to the needs of refugees.
The European Union has extended the temporary protection granted to around 4.2 million Ukrainian refugees until March 4, 2026.
On March 4, 2022, the EU activated for the first time the temporary protection directive in the Union, which grants Ukrainian beneficiaries a status that allows them to live, work, and receive assistance in EU countries. (7.08.2024)
