Medyka, Poland is a quiet and idyllic farming village near the southeastern border with Ukraine.

But in recent months, it has become the busiest border crossing for Ukrainian refugees since the war with Russia began in late February.

In February and March, refugees waited for hours or days there to cross into Poland. Now, the flow has reversed. The long lines are on the Polish side of the border filled with people waiting to cross into Ukraine.

Anna Kobernyk and her friends have been waiting in a van for six hours, parked in a line of vehicles almost 10 miles long.
