Ukraine invasion: The children with cancer fleeing war at home

The vast majority of those fleeing war in Ukraine are heading to neighbouring Poland, and among them are Ukrainian children with cancer.

They’re being evacuated by the non-governmental organization Herosi, co-ordinated by the US-based St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, who are trying to find the patients places in medical care centres across Europe.
