  • 10 March 2022, Záhony, Hungary: Shipments of donations from people across Europe wait to be transported across the border into Ukraine. A town of some 3,500 residents, Záhony has become a key border crossing for Ukrainians going to Hungary, particularly by train. Záhony residents support incoming refugees in a variety of ways, and a local high school has been repurposed to serve as a temporary centre for accommodation with a capacity for 250 refugees, as they pass through the town on their way onward into Hungary or other neighbouring countries. Following the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, more than 200,000 people have crossed the border from Ukraine into Hungary, to seek refuge from war and an increasingly desperate humanitarian situation.

  • 17 March 2022, Sculeni, Romania: Father Radu Brinza comforts a Ukrainian refugee woman at an AIDRom support point by the Sculeni border crossing connecting Romania and Moldova. The border crossing at Sculeni, near Iasi, Romania, serves as an entry-point for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the atrocities of war caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Located at Romania’s eastern border, the crossing sees Ukrainian refugees enter Romania after passage through Moldova. As war wages on in Ukraine, the influx of refugees across Europe varies geographically depending on what cities are currently under attack in Ukraine. If the city of Odessa comes under heavy fire, large numbers of Ukrainian refugees are expected to take the route into Romania via the crossing at Sculeni.

  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: 23-year-old mother Paulina from Ukraine holds her newborn child, in their new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.
