War zones are not unfamiliar territory for Hannah Jarvis - she served in the armed forces in Iraq in 2007. But she said the sights she had seen in Ukraine, having just completed her fourth trip taking aid there since Russia invaded have "moved [her] beyond words."
Hannah, who is a community councillor from Abergavenny, embarked on her fourth trip delivering aid in November, with the charity - Bridge to Unity. She flew out to Poland to meet with an engineer before taking a convoy to Lviv.
This time, Hannah said there were no issues with crossing the border and that, because they were delivering medical aid, they did not have to queue. Previous trips had proved challenging, she said, particularly attempting to cross the Slovakian border. The team has visited a maternity hospital west of Lviv and stayed in the safety of the Carpathian Mountains, away from the fighting.
