Shyrokyne has been exposed to heavy fighting for months, which left each house damaged by live fire or shrapnel; up to 60 percent of them are destroyed. “What my colleagues and I saw today was catastrophic,” said Hug. People who remained in the village had to seek shelter in very challenging conditions. They live without water and electricity. “We met a family with small children who were shell-shocked and did not want to leave their house despite the fact that the ceasefire was holding for the second day,” Hug added.
