No power, no heating, and melting snow for water - a view from Mariupol

An employee of the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been describing the situation there, Qazet.az reports.

"This night the shelling was harder and closer.''

"We collected snow and rain water yesterday to have some utility water. We tried to get free water today but the queue was huge.

"According to [other] people, multiple grocery stores were destroyed by missiles and the remaining things were taken by people in desperate need.

"Still no power, water, heating and mobile connection. No-one heard about any evacuation yet. Pharmacies are out of medicine."
