'No food for children': Voice message reveals grim reality of besieged Mariupol
Telegraph, 10 Mar 2022

Russian forces are desperate to take control of the strategic port, which is home to roughly 400,000 people. Attacks on Mariupol have been relentless and several attempts to evacuate civilians and deliver humanitarian aid have fallen through, with NGOs warning a “humanitarian catastrophe” is imminent.
