Watch: Hungarian Pastor Opens Church Room for Roma Refugees
Immediately after hearing that refugees from Ukraine were fleeing towards his country the pastor of a Hungarian church decided to act, AP reports. 

He opened up the only room of his church for people fleeing Ukraine, which was quickly filled with one large Roma family of 29 from Didova, Ukraine, according to AP.

"Ordinary people are the losers when leaders can't agree. They're the ones who really lose a lot. That's why here we try to help people not only financially, physically, but also mentally," the pastor is reported as saying.
