In the second agreed corridor, the village of Buhas was expecting to receive people from the city of Volnovakha fleeing the war. However, residents are hunkering down in bomb shelters as fighting continues all around them, making humanitarian evacuations nearly impossible. The area is now under the control of Russian-backed rebel forces from Donetsk – just a few kilometres from the latest front line.
