Evacuations from Irpin Overwhelm Even Rescue Workers

Older generations of Ukrainians lived through the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, when they were kids and now are reliving that experience all over again. “There will be smells and sights that will bring back terrible memories of what they’ve gone through”.

“Many people may simply withdraw, many people lose appetite, many people will cry unexpectedly, many people will not be able to sleep, and all of these things will hinder their physical health, as well as their mental health.”
