Ukraine war: the deadly disadvantage for Deaf people
Svitlana, a Deaf woman in Chernihiv, Ukraine, describes how three Deaf people queuing for food aid outside her supermarket were killed because they could not hear the air-raid sirens. She now relies on watching people move and feeling bombardments through her body. The Frankfurter Rundschau report, based on testimony published by ActionAid, says warning systems, shelters and key information are often not accessible in sign language, and the Chernihiv region has only two sign language interpreters.
