The National Committee for Emergency Situations, convened on Friday by interim prime minister Ilie Bolojan, established the amount of emergency aid for the people affected by the incident that took place last night in Galați, where a drone crashed on a block of flats.
According to the Government, the aid will be:
- 10,000 lei for each family or single person whose home was affected in a proportion less than 25%;
- 25,000 lei for each family or single person whose home was affected in a proportion greater than 25%;
The amount of compensation will be established based on the evaluations made by the commission established by order of the prefect, the Government stated.
The Ministry of Labor was empowered to promote the draft decision that will state the granting of these emergency aids. The funds will be allocated by supplementing the institution's budget, from the Government's budgetary reserve fund.
The Galati County Committee for Emergency Situations will make available to the ministry all the necessary information for the granting of emergency aid, the Government concluded in its press release.
Block hit by a drone in Galati
A Russian drone crashed on the night of Thursday to Friday, around 02:00, on a block in the city of Galati. Two people were treated at the scene, while two others – a woman and a 14-year-old boy – suffered burns and were taken to hospital. About 70 people were evacuated.
It is “the most serious security incident on Romanian territory since the beginning of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine”, as described by President Nicușor Dan, who spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and announced the closure of the Russian Consulate in Constanța.
