Infection and hunger as hundreds hide in Mariupol cellar



Hugo Bachega

BBC News, Lviv

The south-eastern city of Mariupol is encircled by Russian troops and remains under constant bombardment with almost 400,000 people still trapped without running water, and food and medical supplies quickly running out.

In one large public building, hundreds of people are crammed in the basement. "Some have developed sepsis from shrapnel in the body," said Anastasiya Ponomareva, a 39-year-old teacher who fled the city at the start of the war but was still in contact with friends there. "Things are very serious."

Sergei Orlov, the city's deputy mayor, says things are "getting more difficult by the hour".

"From the humanitarian point of view, the situation is horrible. There isn't enough food, water, medicine, insulin, baby food. Everyone has specific needs," he tells the BBC.

"We get a lot of calls. For example, a mother who says: 'I have a child in my hands [who] is dying from hunger'. And unfortunately, we can't do anything. Or we get a call: 'Here's our address. We're blocked in the basement. What should we do?'"
