A volunteer from the humanitarian organization cries a little girl who crossed the border with her mother. Palanca is the closest border to the city of Odessa, Ukraine. This small town is the last point south of Moldova before crossing into Ukrainian territory. Since the armed conflict began, around 175,000 people have entered according to figures from the Moldovan government. When people enter the country they have the possibility of sheltering in refugee camps that the government and international organizations created for the humanitarian emergency, but most seek to move to other countries


A volunteer from the humanitarian organization cries a little girl who crossed the border with her mother. Palanca is the closest border to the city of Odessa, Ukraine. This small town is the last point south of Moldova before crossing into Ukrainian territory. Since the armed conflict began, around 175,000 people have entered according to figures from the Moldovan government. When people enter the country they have the possibility of sheltering in refugee camps that the government and international organizations created for the humanitarian emergency, but most seek to move to other countries in central Europe. Moldova is one of the poorest countries on the European continent, so employment opportunities for refugees could be few.
