but when you drive through the streets you see people who are walking, usually not many, and many of them are elderly, not all of them, but quite a few. like the woman we met in the metro station, she said, how can i go, this is my home, i don t know any other home, and my husband is buried close by, they say, and they have already lived through so much. they think about the life on the run as a refugee and it is much better to stay here and stay underground. everybody is hoping against hope that it doesn t come to this but when it comes to a war like this there is the military fortifications and the sandbags on the streets and the soldiers and civilians who have taken up arms but also this, the resilience of spirit, people bedding down, stocking up their supplies for what could be a very long and very painful time. what could be a very long and very painful time- painful time. how strong do you think the resistance painful time. how strong do you think the resistance could - painfu
right in the heart of this capital, living with the effects of a siege, running at of food, running out of water. we heard last week from the mayor that nearly 2 million people have already left the city, and of course it s understandable. but when you drive to the streets, you see people who are walking, usually not very many. many of them are elderly. not all of them, but quite a few. those like maia that we met in the metro station. how can i go? this is my home. i don t know any other home. my husband is buried close by. we will stay. and i suppose they have already lived through so much and when they think of a life on the run, life is a refugee, and it s much better to stay here, stay underground. of course everyone is hoping against hope that it does not come to this, but when it comes to a war like this, there is a military fortifications, the sandbanks on the street, the soldiers, the civilians who have taken up guns but there is also this, the resilience of spirit.
