The representatives of some Christian associations in the Maramures County are waiting at the Sighetu Marmatiei border crossing point for the refugees coming from Ukraine offering them food and water, priest Adrian Morar, working for the Social-Philantrophic and Missionary Sector of the Diocese of Maramures and Satmar, told AGERPRES on Friday.
He specified that the refugees will also benefit from spiritual assistance in Ukrainian language from the Romanian priests who are serving in the Ukrainian communities in the Maramures County.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Curacy, which is subordinated to the Romanian Patriarchy, also functions in the Sighetu Marmatiei border town.
Moreover, a citizen from the Repedea rural town, which is mostly inhabited by Ukrainian ethnics, offered accommodation to a refugee family.
The Sighetu Marmatiei Mayor, Vasile Moldovan, on Friday confirmed to AGERPRES that the authorities are arranging a camp for the refugees in this county, with a container having already been installed for triage and the Maramures Inspectorate for Emergency Situations will deliver 30 tents today, which could be necessary for the refugees.
