The ‘Blue Dot’ hub here provides counseling, identification, and referral for particularly vulnerable people that may need extra help, including children without parents, suspected trafficking victims & survivors of gender-based violence. We also warn of risks of exploitation. https://t.co/IqFOOmmepj

We also met with refugees who arrived on one of the trains coming in from #Ukraine. This teacher and her daughter were on their way to reunite with family. She continues to teach classes online for her 32 students still able to connect. She hopes to return as soon as it’s safe. https://t.co/IrT4ASUrc8

Yesterday I was in Zahony, a town of 4200 people, on the #Ukraine and #Hungary border. While a small town, Zahony was, and continues to be, the crossing point for many of the now 5 million Ukrainian refugees seeking safety from the war. https://t.co/dSwuEFK9LP
