She told us what life's like for her friends and family back home:
"Everyday I message my friends and family. They pretty much sleep on the floor and hallways to be better protected from any bomb or missile strike, that may come.
"They're tired of running to the basement when the air-siren sound".
"Lately all of our messages are pretty much, are you okay? Has your area been hit or damaged? Are you family all okay?"
"Since the start of the year, there has only been one quiet night without an air-attack of any kind.
