STORYLINE
According to the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), hundreds of refugees, including older people, families with young children, and women, are being prioritized for transfer to Romania from Moldova – a country on Ukraine’s southern border with limited resources to deal with the hundreds of thousands of refugees that have arrived there in recent weeks.
Refugees from Ukraine are arriving in Moldova every day.
Richard Schilling, UNHCR Representative for Central Europe, said, “Moldova has seen almost 300,000 people entering, refugees, third-country nationals. This is too much for Moldova; it is almost equivalent to 10 percent of the population. We need to help. In this regard, people are moving out, to other places, to Romania.”
Transfers have been arranged as a gesture of solidarity with the people of Moldova by the governments of both countries and with the support of UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Convoys leave every day, departing from Palanca since the first one on 10 March, and will continue as long as necessary to reduce congestion at Moldova’s border and protect women, girls, and others from risks, including human trafficking and gender-based violence.
Staff from UNHCR and IOM are on hand throughout the journey, offering advice to those trying to decide what to do next and providing information on subjects from securing medicines to booking free travel tickets and finding SIM cards.
When the buses reach Huși, a city a few kilometers inside Romania’s eastern border with Moldova, the refugees are welcomed at a transit centre by the Romanian Emergency Situations Department, with support from UNHCR and IOM staff.
Some spend the night here, while others plan to head to the capital Bucharest or other cities.
Today (22 Mar), UNHCR and IOM welcomed the pledges by European Union (EU) Member States to transfer refugees from Moldova to their territory under the auspices of the EU Solidarity Platform.
The Solidarity Platform, established by the European Commission, aimed to support the EU Member States and associated States on responsibility-sharing for the reception of arrivals from Ukraine in the Temporary Protection Directive.
The most vulnerable refugees will be prioritized for transfer, including people with disabilities, older people, those with severe medical conditions, and mothers with young children.
Unaccompanied and separated children will only be transferred following best interest procedures and family tracing, as reuniting children with their families and caretakers is the priority.
Safeguards against smuggling and trafficking networks will also be included.
