Subhuman conditions in Mariupol
Between bombings, Mariupol, a strategic city for Moscow to unite Donbas with the annexed Crimea, drowns. The conditions in which its population finds itself are subhuman, without water or electricity or internetto which is added a food shortage leading them into a fierce struggle to survive.
There is hardly any food left to last three more days, and what little they get they have to ration and share. In the absence of electricity, food is cooked in the street with improvised fires.
According to the count of the City Council, 1,170 civilians have died since the start of the war. The bodies pile up in the streets because the incessant attacks prevent them from being buried.
