Red Cross distributes humanitarian aid in Mariupol for second time

"In Mariupol, humanitarian aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross was distributed for the second time in Livoberezhny district,” Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to Mariupol mayor, posted on Telegram.

The humanitarian aid is handed out subject to prior registration for line. Unfortunately, there is no information about the next visit. But it will be made," Andriushchenko wrote.

He noted that Mariupol residents could find out about the place, time and register for line by using the telephone numbers published.

"Pass this information to your loved ones. This is an additional opportunity to survive. Use it. Take care of yourself and your family. Because Mariupol is people. And the most important thing for those who have been held hostage by the Russians is to wait for the return of Ukraine. And it is already coming," the mayor's adviser emphasized.

Mariupol experiences one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes caused by Russia's aggression. The city was almost completely destroyed by enemy shelling.

Currently, Mariupol has no normal power, water and gas supplies. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, up to 22,000 civilians have died in the city. More than 50,000 people have been deported to Russia and the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region.

Today, more than 100,000 people stay in the blocked city. Mariupol is on brink of environmental disaster and outbreak of infectious diseases.
