Indian nuns working for Missionaries of Charity in Kyiv running short on food, but remain determined to continue
The Hindu
Sister Rosela Nuthangi and Sister Ann Frida from Aizwal along with three sisters from other nations are currently looking after 37 homeless Ukrainians and a student from Kerala in a storehouse in Kyiv.
Two Missionaries of Charity nuns from the northeastern state of Mizoram who refused to leave Ukraine and remain in the war-torn nation’s capital are safe with the homeless they are looking after but running short of food and unable to move out of their temporary shelter.
Sister Rosela Nuthangi (65), from Sihphir village, about 15 km north of Aizawl, and Sister Ann Frida (48) from Aizawl's Electric Veng locality along with three sisters from other nations are currently looking after 37 homeless Ukrainians and a student from Kerala in a storehouse (godown) in Kyiv and remain determined to continue with their work in Ukraine, their relatives said.
Sylveen Zothansiami, nice of Rosela, told PTI that her aunt and Sister Frida were safe and sound but on the verge of a food shortage. She said that she managed to speak to them over the phone on Monday.
"We are fine and still have food to eat as we hoarded them before. We can't move outside and now hiding in a storehouse," Sylveen quoted Sister Rosela as saying.
Sylveen said that Sisters Rosela and Frida along with 3 other Sisters were caring for 37 homeless Ukrainians inside the packed storehouse. Recently, they were joined by a student from Kerala, who managed to find shelter with them when Russia launched an intensive attack on the city.
Although Sister Rosela was earlier able to procure essential supplies secretly, the fear of shortages loom large as the war and bombings drag on, Sylveen said. “They are now eating economically … they are not sure whether they will continue getting supplies brought in by fathers from other missions,” she said.
She said that the advent of the student from Kerala has been a great help as they are able to make calls and talk to family using his mobile phone.
