Rishika Ghosh from Lucknow, an MBBS student at Vinnitsa National Medical University finally crossed the border after a five-day trip and is in a camp near the border.
“This camp is run by a non-governmental organization and volunteers. We are safe, we have a roof and basic amenities, but there was no water or electricity,” she added.
