Additional Information / Shotlist More than 195,000 refugees have crossed into Slovakia until 14 March since the war started on 24 February, according to the UN. On average, about 10,000 people are crossing every day into Slovakia. Queues in Ukraine at the main point can be around three kilometres long. 90 per cent of the people are women and children and the rest are elderly people. People travel with small amounts of luggage, very often a backpack, a small cabin suitcase or a plastic bag. You can see mothers wearing big jackets, some of them dragging children or pets. People are hungry and completely exhausted but walk fast, determined and silently in cold temperatures of between minus five and 10 degrees Celsius.
