Ukraine: A student's evacuation ordeal

Available for over a year

Ghanaian medical student Hortor Joseph Kwabla, who was living in Ukraine's second biggest city, Kharkiv, has now managed to leave. Kharkiv came under attack from Russian forces and Joseph, along with hundreds of other local residents had to take refuge in underground shelters. But he is now out of the city and has crossed the Ukrainian border into Hungary, and as he told Focus on Africa's Bola Mosuro, the four-day journey was a harrowing ordeal.
