Hungary launches EUR 500,000 humanitarian aid for persecuted Christians through Hungary Helps programme

The government has launched a new humanitarian aid worth EUR 500,000 within the framework of its Hungary Helps programme, aimed to support persecuted Christians, the foreign ministry’s state secretary in charge of the programme said on Thursday.

Since its launch seven years ago, the programme has provided financial support to over two million innocent people persecuted for their faith for humanitarian, education, reconstruction and development purposes, Tristan Azbej said. “This commitment has not stopped this year either,” he said.

Boglárka Illés, the foreign ministry’s state secretary in charge of bilateral relations, said the programme targeted Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Pakistan.
