Lena's family of four and their cat and dog left Mariupol five days ago. There was no humanitarian corridor, yet they drove out. She describes the journey: "When we were leaving Mariupol, occupiers were shooting at us, and in Berdyansk grads were falling. We had to cross a minefield in Vasylivka, it was indicated where to not step. One car blew up, and near two cars grads fell. People got injured. Seven wounded people were taken to Zaporozhie hospital". Lena's family say they would like to stay, for now, in Dnipro. For now, they have found shelter in a Christian church called Door to Heaven, but they will look for an apartment.
