War in Ukraine: the evacuation of the last inhabitants of Irpin

In Ukraine, the Russians are bent on taking the city ofIrpin. In a park, the teams of France Televisions met two elderly women, who do not intend to flee. “I have a disabled husband, and she, his mother, is 98 years old“, explains one of them. Their shopping carts have used to fetch water. AT Irpinparks and residences are bombed every day. At the corner of the streets, few people have stayed.

A general practitioner, the last in town, installed in one basement. His pharmacy is a bulk of recovered drugs. This day he visits patients holed up in their homes. The inhabitants who remained Irpin no longer have electricity: coffee and meals are therefore made over a wood fire. The city, located near kyiv (Ukraine), is evacuating its inhabitants. The oldest, among the most fragile, are the ones who leave last.
