Volunteers travel to Poland to help Ukraine refugees

Dozens of volunteers from around the world have traveled to the small Polish town of Medyka at the border with Ukraine to help refugees, mostly women and children . Some are also there to help the pets and animals who arrive with their owners, or being evacuated.

The road that leads from the Ukrainian border to the small village of Medyka is packed with volunteers making hot food and drinks, offering first aid and treatment. Some offer sweets and candies and entertainment for children.

David Fox Pitt, member of Siobhan trust charity said “The Polish people are being amazing. So we are here to support the Polish people as well as Ukrainians, because the Polish people have received the brunt of this influx."

With Russia's military operation now in its third week, it forced about2.5 million people to flee Ukraine as others try to seek refuge in basements, subway stations and underground shelters around the country.
