Ukraine: Displacement Trauma
Australia for UNHCR
Description
Across Eastern Ukraine, thousands face internal exile, lost homes and jobs and a very uncertain future. Dasha is an orphan from near Donetsk. She fled with friends after weeks of shelling. She left her grandparents behind. Her grandfather is deaf and wasn’t sure what was happening. He understood that something was going only when I said him: “Grandpa, there is a war here”.
