When photojournalist Francesco Malavolta snapped a photo of strollers lined up at a train station in Poland on March 3, he did not realize the moment might go viral as a powerful symbol of solidarity with refugees.
She was happy to have left her stroller and some clothes ... out of solidarity with the incoming people from Ukraine."In Malavolta's photo, seven strollers of various sizes are lined up on a train platform at the border crossing between Ukraine and Przemysl, Poland. Some were filled with supplies for mothers and children.
"While two meters away there were miles of people. It seemed surreal," he said. "I thought of them both ... about the solidarity of those who brought the strollers and the dramatic stories of mothers fleeing the war."
