I took those photos in beautiful Mariupol just months ago. Mind-blowing and heart-breaking that it has come to this: More than 2,000 dead, and 400,000 trapped without heat, food or clean water. https://t.co/wctRynmDFe pic.twitter.com/N1jRSb9gPB

Disaster phase

Fierce Planet Posted on March 12, 2022 by jnfrMarch 12, 2022

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….

CNN has live updates from across Ukraine.

ETA: I give monthly to Doctors Without Borders. They will put to good use whatever help you can offer.

What’s happening in Mariupol…

Fierce Planet Posted on March 11, 2022 by jnfrMarch 11, 2022

is at the very least an attempt at genocide, and may yet become one entirely. 400,000 civilians are surrounded by Russian forces, have little to no food and water left, and are under constant assault by Russian bombs and artillery. The people cannot get supplies and all attempts to open humanitarian corridors out of the city have been crushed by Russian aggression.

This article at the Guardian has before/after photo pairs that let you see the destruction around Mariupol.

I do not want the US and NATO to go to war with Russia, but something must be done about the situation in Mariupol and other besieged Ukranian cities.

It's tough to hear what he describes.

These women of Ukraine

They remind me so much of the YPJ, the Women’s Defense Forces of the Syrian Kurds. Even though I am against war and against violence, I believe in the right of self-defense, and I have always admired the Kurdish project of Rojava and the Kurdish attempt to form a cooperative economy centered around the rights of women. As in Ukraine, the Kurds have had to use force of arms to keep nearby armies from killing them.

The Kurds were our allies in the fight against ISIS, where they fought valiantly to rescue Kurdish and Yazidi women held in bondage. Trump betrayed our Kurdish allies and put the entire Rojava project in danger, though the YPJ still exists in some form.

I hope with all my heart that we do better by these brave Ukranian women, and keep up support for all the Ukrainian people.
