The official indicated that 90% of the migrants have a place to sleep, either in the houses of friends or relatives and that the rest will be received in reception centers that will be deployed near the border.
There they will offer food, medical assistance, a place to sleep and an information center on what procedures they need to perform.
The director of the Border Police, Tomasz Prague, added in the press conference that only on Friday about 50,000 people crossed the border.
Poland, home to about 1.5 million Ukrainians before the invasion, has expressed strong support for Kiev and has so far received the bulk of the displaced.
“According to the latest update, 116,000 have fled to neighboring countries since February 24, mainly to Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia and Romania,” the UN refugee agency UNHCR said on Twitter on Saturday.
“The numbers are increasing,” he added.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Health Minister today reported 198 civilian deaths, including three children, and a thousand wounded since the start of the Russian invasion on Thursday.
“Unfortunately, according to operational data, 198 people were killed by the invaders, including three children, and 1,115 were injured, including 33 children,” Viktor Liashko said on Facebook.
This is the second part of deaths published by the Ukrainian government after the one announced on Thursday night by President Volodímir Zelenski, when he said that the first day of the military offensive left 137 dead.
The Minister of Health denounced that the Russian troops, whom he described as “terrorists”, were “deliberately fired at ambulances”, and suggested that medical personnel be given bulletproof vests.
On the other hand, he stressed that “life is also in full swing” when reporting several births since the beginning of the invasion.
