Not only are people in Ukraine suffering terrible winter weather but they are suffering no electricity, no heat, no power and no water owing to the evil and wrong invasion, abuse and war.
This is a threat to life and wellbeing. UNICEF are reporting 7 million young people are now at risk.
Where schools are open for some, they are bomb shelters. Study and play is by torchlight. Home learning cannot take place because there is no power.
Richard Gaisford’s report focusses on the inspirational resilience of the students and staff.
