When the sirens go off near her home in war-torn Ukraine, five-year-old Alisa says: “Mummy, let’s hide.”
Alisa and mum Yelyzaveta, 27, are among thousands of Ukrainians kept waiting for their permission to travel to the UK where families have offered them a safe place to stay.
Little Alisa, who is deaf and has cochlear implants, waited over a month for her permission, which finally arrived in an email yesterday after the Mirror contacted the Home Office on her case.
