Number of refugees coming from Ukraine to Hungary rising
Fully 6,990 people crossed into Hungary directly from Ukraine on Friday, while another 6,570 from Ukraine crossed from Romania, the national police headquarters (ORFK) said.
Police issued temporary residence permits valid for thirty days to 242 people, ORFK told MTI on Saturday. Holders of such permits must contact a local immigration office near their place of residence within thirty days to apply for permanent documents, it added. Budapest police received 122 refugees, 64 children among them, arriving by train, ORFK said.
