Hungarian government sends emergency aid to school in Szeklerland
The state secretary for Hungarian communities abroad is sending 20 million forints (EUR 52,356) in emergency aid over a tragic accident to the Tamási Áron Secondary School in Odorheiu Secuiesc (Székelyudvarhely), in central Romania, it said on Saturday.
A 17-year-old boy died on Monday when one-third of the school’s student hostel collapsed after the building’s exterior wall came down. Three girls were pulled from the rubble, one of whom is still in life-threatening condition, the secretariat said in a statement.
The aid will be provided through the alliance of Hungarian teachers in Romania and will go toward the replacement of damaged technical equipment used by students, it said.
