Nearly 700 medical students who had been through hell for 13 days without food and water in Sumy amid intense bombings by Russia were taken to a safer place in Ukraine on Tuesday. “We moved out of Sumy at 9 am on buses and reached Poltava about 1.50 pm. We all were very frightened but equally excited during the journey,” said Mohammad Faisal, a native of Bihar.
