Three million people, including one million unaccompanied children have fled Ukraine since Russia began its invasion.
An 11-year-old boy is one of those refugees. Hassan Al-Khalaf traveled alone to Slovakia going by train and on foot with a plastic bag, passport, and a phone number written on his hand. Border guards and strangers helped the boy on his journey.
The phone number helped reunite the boy with his older siblings including a brother, who has been studying in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava.
At a pro-Ukrainian and anti-war rally, Hassan said "I got my hope from my mom wanting me to go. My hope carried me on my way."
