People fleeing violence in Ukraine continued crossing into Romania Saturday morning.
On the Romanian side, the border town of Siret was crowded with people, mostly women and children, coming from Ukraine after they were driven from their homes following Russia's invasion.
Humanitarian workers inside Romania have tried to help those in need, handing out aid including food and toiletries to the refugees.
Aid workers said they were having to prepare the handouts a few miles away from the crossing as the Romanian police were not allowing NGOs to come close to the border.
The UN refugee agency says that over 120,000 Ukrainian refugees have left the country since Russia began its attack on its neighboring country this week.
Most appear to be heading to Poland and Moldova, but also to Romania, Slovakia and Hungary.
