Due to constant air raid alerts, children are often forced to take shelter from danger underground.
What’s the current state?
Both underground shelters lack ventilation, and their walls, ceilings, and floors are in need of repair. There is a lack of child-appropriate furniture. Under these conditions, it's impossible to organize interactive activities, games, or simply a comfortable stay, all of which are essential for helping children cope with fear during the attacks.
