At the refugee centre, volunteers collect the material brought from Spain.

The convoy doctor treats a Ukrainian woman who begins to feel unwell during the journey.

Tons of donations pile up on pallets, waiting to cross into Ukraine.

 

Cristina and her dog Sira are traveling in their motorhome, accompanied by almost thirty other vehicles that have set off for Ukraine. "Since most of [the refugees] don't speak English, she acts as an intermediary," she says, referring to her dog. "They're letting me in with her everywhere."

A group of refugees waits by the bus for departure.

Breakfast welcomes us together with the refugees in a mountain hostel in Dresden, Germany – which along with a Franciscan convent welcomes the whole group.

Behind the doors of this large supermarket in Przemysl lies the temporary home of thousands of refugees who manage to leave Ukraine through the city of Medyka, leaving Lviv behind.

Dogs, cats, rabbits and even squirrels. The refugee centre in Przemysl is full of families leaving the country together with their animals.
