By a special commission for distributing Romanian humanitarian aid will be created in each village and town of the country. The commission will consist of the mayor, community social assistant and social worker. A decision to this effect was taken in the March 15 meeting of the interdepartmental commission for humanitarian aid, IPN reports.

According to the Government’s press service, to ensure a transparent distribution process, the local commissions for humanitarian aid will ask district councilors, representatives of civil society and the mass media to become involved in the process.
