The flow of Ukrainian refugees has changed direction in Poland. And so has aid relief

On a warm, windy day in the middle of May, Harry Scrymgeour is hard at work breaking down a humanitarian relief tent that helped thousands of Ukrainians during the height of Europe's refugee crisis. "Of course, the sort of great joy in tearing down this camp is that it has been useful. It is no longer useful," Scrymgeour says. That's because the flow of refugees from Ukraine has actually reversed at the Polish border crossing in Medyka, where his group is based, with more people now going into Ukraine than out.
