Fleeing the war in Ukraine, more than 3,000 people have left the region of Mariupol (Ukraine) by their own means, and some took refuge in Zaporizhia (Ukraine). However, there was talk of a humanitarian convoy to evacuate civilians from Mariupolbut the negotiations failed. However, hope is not lost, as journalist Maryse explains Burgotin live from Zaporizhia : “Hope is allowed because the International Red Cross is still working to try to set up this safe humanitarian corridor, which will connect the city of Mariupol to this city of Zaporizhia”.

On the night of Saturday April 2, 45 buses chartered by the town hall of Zaporizhia arrived in the city. They transported refugees from Mariupol. On the faces of the adults, one could read fatigue, and on those of the children, stupefaction. On the way, they had undergone multiple checks by Russian forces.
