Residents of the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol are experiencing illnesses in addition to Russian bombardment and a shortage of food and water, according to Ukrainian officials, who described the city’s living circumstances as “mediaeval.”

“Cholera, dysentery, and E. coli: over 100,000 Mariupol inhabitants are in grave danger not just from bombardment but also from horrible living conditions and unclean surroundings,” according to a tweet from the Ukrainian Parliament.

“The temperature has already risen to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to a lack of centralised water supply and sanitation, the decomposition of thousands of bodies under the debris, and a catastrophic scarcity of water and food, powerful and fatal illnesses might soon erupt in the city “According to the parliament.

It went on to say, “The occupants are unable to supply food, water, or medication to the current population. All attempts towards evacuation are thwarted. People will die if this does not happen. There are now mediaeval living conditions in the ruins of Mariupol. There must be an immediate and full evacuation!”
