## Resource

In Massandra, Crimea, relentless power outages caused by ongoing conflict have forced locals to rely on street-side communal meals—buckwheat and canned beef served to 200 people daily—as homes can’t cook without electricity. Civilians, including a woman with leg pain struggling to reach her 10th-floor apartment, face daily hardships, with some enduring weeks without power. Officials scramble to provide hot meals, but the uncertainty of when electricity will return underscores the human toll of war on everyday life.
