evening,
I

tons of

“immediately
would
be
the
day”
when
they
would
be
rescued
from
the
savagery
of
the
warfare
that
has
engulfed
Ukraine.
“We
stood
in
a
queue
for
three
hours
in
freezing
chilly
on
Monday,
ready
to
board
the
buses
and
then,
we
have been
instructed
that
we
can’t
go.
Fortunately,
we
left
Sumi
on
Tuesday.
I
am
hoping
that
we
will
be
in
a
secure
zone
quickly,”
Aashiq
Hussain
Sarkar,
one other
medical
scholar,
instructed
