Putin It bombs their towns, their houses and those who survive leave, since it is the safest thing to do. Olga, Leonid and Margarita refused to abandon their entire livesbut the attacks do not stop and without food or medicine they only had to wait for death. The Spanish NGO, Global Humanitaria, through one of its projects in Ukraine, has rescued them and taken them to a safe place. As seen in the images that accompany these lines, the moment in which they leave their homes is devastating.

They live among rubble, because The continuous bombings have left their houses reduced to that. They resist as best they can alone, without water, without light, with hardly anything to put in their mouths. They are witnesses of the barbarity of war and the van of the NGO Global Humanitaria, their lifeline. Andrés, is one of its members, and asks a man “why doesn’t he want to go out?” The man cannot contain his emotion. In 20 days the NGO will return for him.

In recent weeks they have been able to rescue Olga, Margarita and Leonid, who tells his ‘rescues’ when they pick him up at his house, now made up of rubble: “I thought I was dying here alone.” Now, the three are in a safe place, and far from that loneliness that has been their only company since Russia began the destruction of their towns.

And so, with some personal belongings and a lifetime in raffia bags They leave what has been, until that moment, something more than their home. Of course, always, with the hope of returning. And they leave behind a lifetime of memories, but not a war that is present and continues.
