From Sharon Braithwaite in London
A medical worker reacts after failing to save the life of an 18-month-old boy who was wounded by shelling in Mariupol, Ukraine on March 4. on Saturday in Mariupol, Ukraine."The situation is the same as in recent days. 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. We also wanted to get ‘social’ bread but it is not clear the schedule and the places of distribution.
MSF said in the statement that people are now effectively trapped in Mariupol, where the war arrived so suddenly that many could not even flee. MSF Director of Operations Christine Jamet on Saturday called for safe routes to allow civilians to flee from Mariupol, including MSF staff and their families.
"Civilians must not be trapped in a war zone," Jamet said, adding that"people seeking safety must be able to do so, without fear of violence”.
