More than 660,000 people have fled Ukraine-UN

 

We've got an updated figure on the number of people who have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion six days ago.

Qazet.az reports that the UN refugee agency says more than 660,000 people (mostly women and children) have left so far.

Shabia Mantoo, spokeswoman of the UN's refugee agency has told a briefing in Switzerland that there are reports of people waiting for up to 60 hours to enter Poland, while queues at the Romanian border are up to 20km long.

This train station in the Polish border city of Przemyśl has become a safe haven for thousands of people fleeing Ukraine.
