An Army veteran and community councillor is planning to cross the Ukrainian border to deliver medical supplies. Hannah Jarvis, from Abergavenny, is making her third trip to the Ukrainian border to assist a charity with delivering medical aid and this time plans to cross into the country.
She described the "harrowing" sights she has encountered on her trips to the border with charity Bridge to Unity, but says that donations have started to dwindle. She said: "What we're finding as a charity is that donations are starting to dry-up but the fighting is continuing and so supplies are very much still needed."
Hannah said that the first trip to the border was "a bit of a shock" for her and the team travelling from the charity. "I think we were just overwhelmed by the numbers of refugees," she said. She described going into what appeared to be an old shopping mall, and seeing "thousands of beds in rows," with women sleeping next to young men.
