State Secretary Zoltán Kovács announced the launch of aid consignment worth over HUF 100 million

At a press conference held in the courtyard of the Roman Catholic parish in Berehove, Zoltán Kovács announced the launch of an aid consignment worth more than 100 million forints. The package consists of generators, durable food, medicines, and hygiene products and was sent with the help of Hungarian charitable organizations active in Transcarpathia.

Here are the details of the consignments:

• Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta: A truckload of generators and heaters
• Catholic Karitász: A van full of durable food
• Hungarian Red Cross: Hygiene products (300 l)
• Hungarian Ecumenical Aid: Baby food, canned food, hygiene products, detergents, cleaning products, shower gel
• Baptist Relief Service: Food, generators, cleaning products
• Hungarian Reformed Relief Service: 1630 kg of durable food, 121 kg of school supplies (notebooks, drawing paper, folders, pencils, erasers)

Zoltán Kovács stated that these charitable organizations have been providing continuous support to refugees and people in need for more than a year since the first day of the Russian-Ukrainian war. He also mentioned that Hungary is carrying out the largest humanitarian action in its history, and the Bridge for Transcarpathia program has now been expanded, with the six charitable organizations mentioned above also active in the interior of Ukraine.

According to official figures, Hungary has so far provided 123.3 billion forints in aid, including direct assistance delivered by charitable organizations, infrastructure development, rehabilitation support, and fuel deliveries. The value of aid delivered by charitable organizations alone amounts to 13 billion forints, the state secretary said.

Zoltán Kovács emphasized that Hungary has been consistently pro-peace since the first day of the outbreak of the war, and the war must end as quickly as possible. He also stressed that the country's humanitarian commitments are far beyond the level expected for its size and capabilities. Hungary is helping in whatever way it can, participating in reconstruction, infrastructure, education and healthcare programs.
