Save the Children says millions of children exposed to illnesses like hypothermia as big freeze hits Ukraine
Millions of children inside Ukraine and those fleeing to neighboring countries are at risk of hypothermia, hunger and death, as temperatures could dip below -4 degrees Fahrenheit, non-profit group Save the Children said Friday.
Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, was hit with an "extreme Arctic cold blast" this past week, according to Save the Children
"As temperatures plummet, children who have been forced from their homes are trekking through the brutal cold, with high winds and snow, carrying whatever they could grab before they fled," said Irina Saghoyan, Save the Children’s Eastern Europe director.
