As of 2nd September, taking the extraordinary situation at Keleti Railway Station into consideration, the HRCA has distributed thousands of servings of drinking water and toiletry kits (diapers, towels, etc), as well as  easily consumable foods among children on the spot . 

If this situation remains to be of humanitarian concern in the upcoming days, the HRCA will continue to assist with provisions for the thousands of people in need as they wait at the railway station. 

Meanwhile the HRCA is also present  in the Debrecen Reception Centre of the Offfice of Immigration and Nationality (BAH) in Debrecen, where around 1600-1800 refugees from 60-65 different countries are living temporarily.  Approximately 10 % of the residents are children. 

Among the asylum-seekers and people with subsidiary protection arriving in Debrecen there is a growing need for standard health checks and basic medical supplies. Under the coordination of the Hungarian Caritative Council, the HRCA undertook as of 1st August to provide general medical and gynacological care (examinations once a week) as well as basic medication for the residents of the camp.   

They are also organizing creative kids programs to bring a little joy to the lives of tired and desperate children as they wait in uncertainty.
