Eight children from the Gaza Strip, together with their families, arrived in Romania, and will be treated in specialized medical units, and their families will be placed in the care of the Social Assistance Directorate of Bucharest, the Government informs.
According to a press release sent on Monday by the Executive, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu met with these children.
“Children and the civilian population in the conflict zone need solidarity and empathy to overcome the dramas caused by the war. Since the first days of the conflict, Romania has offered support to the civilian population, and today the first children from the Gaza Strip who will receive medical care in Romanian hospitals have arrived in Bucharest. Our support efforts are doubled by diplomatic efforts to restore security, conclude a cease-fire agreement and release all hostages”, said Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, quoted in the press release.
The children and their families arrived in Romania with an aircraft of the Ministry of National Defense, the quoted source states.
Romania grants this support based on the request for international assistance formulated by the World Health Organization, through the European Civil Protection Mechanism, the Government’s press release also states.
