Refugees from Ukraine, including families with children, rest in a shelter in the Polish city of Przemysl after crossing the border. Over 2.8 million people have fled the war in Ukraine, the UN's refugee agency says, describing the outflow as Europe's largest refugee exodus since World War II. IMAGES
Refugees wait at Przemysl train station on the Poland-Ukrainian border, some sitting on the floor, as they wait to board trains taking them further into Poland and further from the war in Ukraine. The United Nations estimates that over 2 million people have fled Russia's invasion of its pro-Western neighbour so far. IMAGES
