The opening hours of the Hungarian-Ukrainian border crossings have been increased to 0-24 hours everywhere, the passage is continuous. Separate Help Points will also open shortly, where those fleeing the war to Hungary can receive additional help, wrote Alexandra Szentkirályi on her Facebook page.
The government spokesperson announced on his social media page:
Hungary does not want to get involved in this war conflict, but we will give all the help to those who need it, since everyone is leaving their country, their home behind in these difficult days.
All five border crossings on the Hungarian-Ukrainian border section now operate non-stop in order to facilitate faster passage. While at the Polish, Slovak and Romanian border sections with Ukraine you have to wait up to 20-24 hours to enter, while at the Hungarian border crossings, according to this morning's data, the waiting time is a maximum of 1 hour.
, we are setting up special Help Points with charitable organizations Here, those seeking help are not only provided with food and information, but employees of government offices will also be present, who will also help with public administration and, if necessary, vaccination-related matters . Those asking for help are transported here by bus by the police or church/charity volunteers.
Everyone should help the victims of war. We Hungarians want to help Transcarpathia and the Hungarians living there first.
