Nappies, milk, toys, stuffed animals, but also boxes of chocolates prepared by the Malmeudy chocolate maker in Belgium.
France 24 met Jonathan, a Belgian volunteer, who traveled more than 1,500 kilometers on his own initiative to deliver the donations he collected in his municipality for the Ukrainians, in particular the children present in Medyka, in Poland.
An inexhaustible flow of hundreds of Ukrainian migrants, having fled the war, arrive every day on this Polish-Ukrainian border.
There, Jonathan meets Jeremy and Nicolas, two French people from the Vosges, who arrived a few hours earlier by car with 400 blankets and medicine.
"They [Ukrainian migrants] are almost embarrassed by everything we bring them. They are very courteous. And frankly it's nice to see a few smiles," says another Frenchman, a firefighter from Nice.
Stands stand here and there, displaying colored balloons and the flags of the countries of these European volunteers.
Around here, the English even offer cotton candy to children.
