Mariupol is in a “disaster phase now,” Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator says

An emergency coordinator for Doctors Without Borders told CNN that the humanitarian situation in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol is deteriorating by the day….

“They’re using snow and rain water, they’re breaking into heating systems to access the water in heating systems, but for many, water has already run out and so has the food for many people. The only people left with food are those who have stocks that they’re rationing,” he said from Vinnytsia, Ukraine….

Staff on the ground in Mariupol have told Wade that people are dying from lack of access to medicine, He said.

“The next phase we will see people who potentially could die from dehydration and hunger or … fleeing from the city trying to find food and water and dying from the violence outside the city,” he said.

Wade said there’s a “sense of panic” in the city right now….
