Ministry applies for EUR 3.6m EU grant to provide for unaccompanied migrant children

Budapest, October 3 (MTI) – The human resources ministry has submitted an application to the European Union for a 3.6 million euro grant for ensuring appropriate care and accommodation for migrant children that arrive in Hungary unaccompanied by adults.

The grant would serve to increase state capacity to accommodate 144 more children, the ministry told MTI in a statement.

The Hungarian government is committed to ensuring the security of these vulnerable children and will do its utmost to see their interests are not harmed. For precisely this reason, they are seen not as immigrants, but first and foremost as children, it added.
