An Israeli flag maker says he has received hundreds of orders for Ukrainian flags in recent days, while employing Ukrainian women who fled the war.

“Women who left behind their husbands… they are all contributing to the struggle. They say it also raises morale,” Avi Marom who runs the workshop tells Channel 12 news.

Marom says all sizes of flags are being produced, mainly for Israelis wanting to express solidarity with Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.
