Heart-breaking scenes in Odesa as Olha Shilimina watches her animal shelter burn down after being hit by a Russian drone.
The "Loving Hearts" shelter looked after 150 dogs and 14 cats. It's not known how many Russia killed.

Today happens to be the 11th of September, but in Gaza it's like this every day, and there is nowhere to escape to. The area is under seige, with hardly any aid getting in and farmland largely destroyed. Waseem has no means to feed his boys without help. Please act. gofund.me/35fdca7d 🍉 #Gaza
