Victoria Zeinin, an Israeli woman from Hadera, and her husband rescued her elderly mother from the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, as shown in extraordinary footage published by the Haaretz daily.
Zeinin set out to rescue both her parents, but her father had been killed in Russian attacks a day before she arrived.
Footage published by the newspaper showed Zeinen and her husband rolling her 75-year-old mother in a shopping cart out of a semi-destroyed building in the port city, last month.
The report says they eventually managed to reach Poland, where they are now awaiting approval for Zeinin’s mother — who is not Jewish — to enter Israel.
