In addition, about 325 children from Ukrainian refugee families participated in themed camps organized by the Chisinau City Hall, where they were supported and encouraged to attend extracurricular activities.
These figures were provided by educational services that work with families of Ukrainian refugees. The Chisinau City Hall cites these figures in connection with today’s 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, also known as the Geneva Convention of July 28, 1951.
From the very first day of the war in Ukraine, municipal authorities have supported everyone who was forced to leave their homes, families, and country. “We immediately provided refugees with safe housing, food, emergency medical care, and psychological support,” emphasizes a statement posted on the official website of the capital’s city administration. “The residents of Chisinau have demonstrated commitment, compassion, and support.”
And today, the capital remains the city with the largest number of refugees from the neighboring country. According to data from the General Directorate for Migration, 52,000 people with temporary protection status are registered in Moldova. Of these, 60% prefer to remain in Chisinau.
