Oxfordshire Ukrainian refugees living in emergency accommodation

A disabled Ukrainian mother says she is having to make a 46-mile round trip to get her son to school after they were moved into emergency accommodation.

Liza and her son came to Oxfordshire in March after fleeing Dnipro following the Russian invasion.

They were living with a sponsor and her son started a new school but they were moved into a hotel three weeks ago after the relationship broke down.

Oxfordshire County Council is trying to find a long-term solution for the pair.

Liza, who has cerebral palsy which affects her mobility, starts the daily three-hour round trip by bus with her son from their hotel in Oxford.
