PHOTOS: Hungary helps war-hit regions in Ukraine
Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary for international communications, launched a consignment of humanitarian aid worth 100 million forints (EUR 260,000) and compiled by six Hungarian charities to help civilians in need in the regions affected directly by the war in Ukraine.
At the ceremony in Transcarpathia, Kovács told a press conference that the aid contains power generators, durable foods, medicine and hygiene items. Hungary’s Maltese, Catholic, Baptist and Reformed Charities, the Hungarian Interchurch Aid and the Hungarian Red Cross have been supplying aid to refugees and people in need since the outbreak of the war, Kovács said.
Hungary has so far provided 123.3 billion forints worth of support including 13 billion forints worth of direct aid by the charities and assistance for infrastructure reconstruction and development, as well as fuel supplies.
