Ukrainian civilians escaping the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky have arrived in Ukrainian-held territory to reunite with family members, according to accounts from Al Jazeera and the BBC. Both outlets describe the evacuees as having endured severe deprivation and hunger while living under occupation.
The BBC reported that people trapped in the city lived without running water, power, and food supplies, leading many to boil and eat weeds from their gardens to survive. While a number of residents have now escaped, Al Jazeera reported that some people still remain behind in the occupied settlement.
