Ukraine: UNICEF: For Ukraine’s Children, A Frightening New Reality (Press release) (Includes video)
UNICEF – March 03, 2022
The crisis in Ukraine, now in its second week, is taking a terrible toll on children’s lives and well-being. Children who were playing and going to school are now coping with the devastating consequences of armed conflict. Millions could be caught up in the violence as fighting intensifies in and around urban centers. Parents desperate to get their children out of harm’s way are leaving everything behind, making their way toward border crossings. At an air raid shelter in Lviv, western Ukraine, less than 50 miles from the border with Poland, local volunteers have donated toys, food and gifts for the children there, like 7-year-old Elvira. She doesn’t know the name of her hometown or which country she’s going to, but she knows she doesn’t want to leave her home.
