ANNOTATION: and almost 5.6 million were forced to leave Ukraine, according to UNHCR.
Volunteers rushed to rescue dozens of people from towns under attack from Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.
Seated in the back of one van, a group of elderly women whose houses were destroyed by shelling warned there would be further "bloodshed" in their hometown, Novoselivka, where the bombing does not stop.
Families with babies and small children were among those fleeing from the war from Lyman, Siversk and other places in the Donetsk region.
One group fleeing entered a bus that quickly drove to Slovyansk where another vehicle was waiting to take them to Dnipro.
Fear, sadness, stress, anger, it's a mix of feelings that most of the people living in the areas under attack have.
Since the beginning of the war on February, at least 7.7 million people were internally displaced and almost 5.6 million were forced to leave the country, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).
Getting a full picture of the unfolding battle in eastern Ukraine has been difficult because airstrikes and artillery barrages have made it extremely dangerous for journalists to move around. Russia has severely restricted reporting in the combat zone; Ukraine's government has imposed fewer limits, mostly on how quickly material can be published or about military installations.
