New images of the devastation of Mariupol seen from the sky


Around 160,000 civilians are still stuck in shelled and fiercely fighting Mariupol and face a humanitarian disaster, living in shelters without electricity and lacking food and water.

Since the start of the conflict, 121 children have died and 167 others have been injured, according to the latest count provided Wednesday by Lioudmila Denissova, in charge of human rights at the Ukrainian Parliament. She reported two children killed again Tuesday evening by a Russian strike on a building in Roubijné, in the Lugansk region (East). Ukrainian authorities counted at least 5,000 dead in Mariupol on Monday.

In total, more than 20,000 residents of the city were evacuated “against their will” to Russia, according to the municipality, which claims that the Russians confiscated their papers and redirected them “to distant Russian cities”. This information is unverifiable from an independent source, Mariupol being besieged since the end of February with failing communications.
