Several Ukrainian refugees had to be taken to the hospital from a hotel in Budapest, Pál Győrfi, spokesman for the National Ambulance Service, told MTI on Tuesday.
According to MTI, a large number of Ukrainian refugees were suffering from diarrheal issues at the Mercure Budapest Castle Hill in the 1st district, where they were staying. For this reason, the ambulance service arrived on the scene with several vehicles.
