Description :
This woman of 74 years is an inhabitant of Aleksandrovka. On January 26th 2015, a missile hit of her house's porch. She was at this time sitting in her living room, and the windows exploded. A part of her house has been completely destroyed. For many weeks, they didn't have any electricity or only a day a week. They had to use coal to heat and cook. On July 2014, her husband died. She is now living by herself trying to survive. In tears, she said that it had taken them 10 years to build this house and that she didn't understand why all this happened.
The ICRC proceeds to a food distribution in Aleksandrovka that has been stuck in the middle of the conflict zone and has been under the shelling since July 2014.
