According to data provided by the UNHCR, since February 2022, over 5.4 million people have crossed the border from Ukraine and Moldova into Romania, of which over 155,000 received various forms of temporary protection. Some 78,000 Ukrainians are still present in Romania.
On February 23, at the North Rail Station in Bucharest, the UNHCR, together with UN agencies and NGOs, launched the Refugee Response Plan. This year, the 37 partners of this initiative, comprising 24 national NGOs, 7 international NGOs, and 6 UN agencies will implement targeted activities to support the protection and inclusion of refugees from Ukraine in Romania.
