Two families with children returned from occupation

"The eldest son, 15 years old, has a musculoskeletal disorder and needed treatment, but it was impossible to get it under occupation.

The younger, 8-year-old daughter spent half her life in fear of the sounds of explosions. Another story is that of an 18-year-old girl and her mother, who lived for years in danger and fear, repeatedly trying to leave on their own, but to no avail," the statement said.

It is noted that both families are already in the territory controlled by Ukraine, where they feel safe for the first time in a long time and can start building a new life.
