A considerable number of people — mostly elderly, women and children, and people with mobility problems — have remained in villages located very close to the frontline. Most of these people are stranded in areas where there is active fighting or which are subject to heavy daily shelling, and often have limited access to services and basic needs, relying mostly on what is being provided by the local authorities, humanitarian partners, and volunteer groups.
