Tens of thousands fleeing under-attack Mariupol

The southern port city Mariupol has been heavily targeted by Russian shelling in the past two weeks and more than 30,000 people are estimated to have fled already, Qazet.az reports.

On Thursday, another 13 buses carrying around 300 refugees arrived across the border in Russia’s Rostov region, Russian media reported.

Mariupol is experiencing the worst humanitarian disaster, with food, water, electricity, and other key supplies cut off.

Russian missile strikes on the city have also targeted a children’s hospital, and yesterday, a theatre where over 1,200 people had been sheltering.
