We continue to help all those who need services or food and hygiene products. We daily offer packages that are enough for a week to 340 persons. We had even 800 persons,” stated the mayor.

Ion Ceban also said that over 1,300 Ukrainian refugee children have been integrated into educational institutions in Chisinau so far. Psycho-pedagogical, medical and social services are offered to Ukrainian children and adults.

A team consisting of 14 persons daily provides assistance to persons lodged at “Patria LukOil”. “I thank the counterparts from Mannheim for the assistance offered to refill the supplies and to continue distributing aid,” stated the mayor.
