Elderly forced to leave their homes in Kherson due to shelling in Ukraine's war

In Odesa, southern Ukraine, there is an aid center where hundreds of people, including elderly refugees, seek shelter and assistance every day. One of the refugees, Nina, survived German air strikes during World War Two and is now a refugee again at the age of 91. She, along with many others, had to flee their homes near the front lines due to intensified shelling and fighting. The Kherson region has been particularly affected, causing fear and trauma for the residents. Aid workers at the center do their best to provide food, clothing, healthcare, and accommodation to these refugees who often arrive with very little. Valentina, who fled Kherson, shares her terrifying experience and how she had to leave when even the children's hospital got hit. The attacks have been escalating lately, leading to civilian casualties, making it one of the heaviest aerial bombardments Ukraine has witnessed this year. The local government confirms the intensity of bombings in settlements along the frontline. Despite the ongoing attacks, some residents have become desensitized and walk calmly, ignoring the constant danger. The intensification of attacks is believed to be a result of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, although Russia is also actively involved and has suffered losses. Ukrainian soldiers are dying, causing great anxiety for people like Daria, whose husband was deployed to defend Avdiivka. However, communication has been severed, leaving her worried and uncertain about his well-being. Daria shares their last memory of parting, hoping for her husband's safety. The war continues to bring grief and fear, affecting the whole country.
