PM Ciolacu: We are allocating aid to families of Crevedia tragedy victims
Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced on Thursday that the Government will grant aid to the families of the victims of the Crevedia tragedy and to those whose homes were affected by the fire, adding that all transport costs will be paid, as well as lump-sum expenses for the companions of all Romanian patients transferred abroad.
"As promised, today we are allocating aid to the families of the victims of the Crevedia tragedy and to all those with households affected by the fire. We are granting 2,000 euros per month to one companion of the injured treated abroad and 2,000 lei per month to one companion of the victims hospitalised in the country. We are also helping single people and families whose homes have been damaged by fire. We are talking about amounts that start from 2,500 lei and go up to 10,000 lei per family, depending on how damaged the home is," Ciolacu said at the start of the government meeting.
He recalled that on Thursday another person died following the tragedy.
"Unfortunately, today the third death of a victim from Crevedia was confirmed. I would like to convey my condolences to the family on behalf of myself and the Romanian Government and I believe that the most important thing now is that all the other patients in serious condition are saved and the rest of the injured return safely to their families," added Ciolacu.
Marcel Ciolacu also said that he is in permanent contact with the hospitals in Europe where the injured have been transferred.
"We are in permanent contact with all the hospitals in Europe where those with serious burns have been transferred and we are happy with every piece of good news we receive and we also pass it on to their families. In fact, the Government has decided to pay all the expenses for the transport, the flat-rate expenses for the companions of all these Romanian patients. I think it is an absolutely natural gesture in such a situation," said the PM.
