Budapest police received 1,953 refugees, with 683 children among them, in the capital on Monday, according to the police website.

Refugees arriving on special train services at Kőbanya felső railway station, in eastern Budapest, were taken by bus to the BOK sports and events centre serving as a humanitarian transit point.

The authorities transported 35 people, including 23 children, to accommodation in the capital and outlying areas.

The police have contracted 31 Ukrainian interpreters and they are working closely with staff of the disaster management authority, the immigration office, the Budapest metropolitan council, as well as numerous aid groups, the statement said.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Tuesday visited Budapest’s BOK sports and events centre, which has been converted into a humanitarian transit point for refugees fleeing the Russia-Ukraine war.

The government is running the transit point in cooperation with charity organisations.

The government has arranged for the facilities to replace set-ups for refugees at Keleti and Nyugati railway stations.

Information points at the railway stations will remain in place, while refugees are being bussed to the BOK centre where they have access to food, shelter and medical treatment, state secretary István György said.

A supervised play area, baby care and information on further accommodation and travel are also available, he said.
