Middle East Eye has contacted Egyptian citizens attempting to escape the Russian bombardment in Ukraine by crossing the country's borders into Poland and Romania.
Stories emerged of people feeling abandoned or given misinformation by Egypt's authorities, of being treated appallingly by border guards that "prioritised white people", of being left to freeze without shelter and, in some cases, beaten.
