"This is new. It now helps thousands of people a day, many from outside of Kyiv, where a family of four died over the weekend, suitcases in hand, possibly headed right here.
The CBS Mornings star also shared heartbreaking photos from the relief camp
"You can see devastation in these pictures outside the capital of Kyiv, as Russian gunfire and shells send people running for their lives. Fire burning. Ukraine's military continues to put up a strong fight all across the country. They are digging in and they are preparing for a potential and feared Russian siege of the capital."
