“People are fleeing from eastern, southern and northern Ukraine towards the centre and west of the country … they are on the road and on trains,” Karolina Lindholm Billing told Al Jazeera from Kyiv.
“It’s very difficult to get evidence of how many people have been internally displaced, but we estimate that it is at least 160,000,” she added. “The human suffering is going to be enormous.”
