Russian forces besieging Mariupol have cut off all communications, making it increasingly difficult to obtain information on the situation in a city where hundreds of thousands of people are struggling to find food, water and medicine.
“In Mariupol, now, there is no drinking water at all. “People are looking for different sources of water from the ground, such as springs in parks,” said a member of Médecins Sans Frontières. “Some people collect melted snow from their roofs and find wood in the squares for cooking,” he added.
It is noted that the bombing of the hospital in Mariupol has already been condemned by Washington and London.
