1,600 refugees arrived in Záhony in two days!

Refugees from Ukraine in Záhony

Some 1,600 people fleeing the fighting in Ukraine have arrived in the eastern Hungarian border town of Záhony over the last two days, the town’s mayor said on Friday.

László Helmeczi told MTI that because the majority of the arrivals have already been taken to other parts of the country to stay with relatives or acquaintances, the local council only had to provide placement for 80 people, mainly women and children. The refugees have been placed in the local cultural centre, he said, adding that they were sleeping on mattresses donated by the locals and have received blankets from the Hungarian Red Cross.

One refugee woman who fled with her children from Tysaashvan (Tiszaásvány) said people in and around Uzhhorod (Ungvár)

were “very afraid” after hearing reports of Russian forces preparing to bomb the local airport.

She added that her husband had stayed behind in Ukraine, but she and her children would seek help from relatives in Kaposvár, in south-western Hungary.

Helmeczi said many Hungarians had offered to take refugees to Budapest and some are prepared to drive families all the way to Kaposvár. Miklós Szendrei, the community coordinator of the Hungarian Reformed Church Aid, said many private individuals have signalled their intent to help, with someone even offering to place refugees in their six-bedroom flat in Nyiregyhaza, in the east.

He said that while Thursday’s arrivals were mostly from western Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region, more and more people were now coming from parts of Ukraine that are farther from the border.
