As we reported several times, there are masses of Ukrainian citizens fleeing to Hungary every day because of the Russian aggression. Their number regularly surpasses 10-11,000 per day. All refugees receive help, however, most of them continue their journey to their relatives, and friends living in the West. Those who decide to stay in Hungary receive every possible help the state can provide. The BOK Sports and Events Centre serves as a humanitarian transit point to accommodate refugees staying overnight. The centre provides food and drink, medical services, restrooms, internet access, and help with travel arrangements in cooperation with charity organisations and volunteers. The national railway company, MAV, operates a ticket office at the site, while buses are provided to take people to the main train stations and the airport. Moreover, Ukrainian children are provided education. The government has also recently simplified the employment of Ukrainian refugees, starting from 1 May. You can read the details HERE

Furthermore, the number of internally displaced people in Ukraine has been steadily growing, more than 450, 000 of them live now in Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja), a region populated by 150, 000 Hungarians. The Hungarian government and charity organisations send regular shipments of food, medicine, and clothes to help Hungarians and Ukrainians alike.
