Mariupol was under siege by the Russian invaders for almost three months. Russia’s actions led to a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe, as the invaders bombed residential areas and civilian infrastructure, as well as continually blocking humanitarian aid.

At least 25,000 civilians have been killed by the Russians, Ukrainian authorities estimate.

Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko said that the city might face an infectious diseases disaster due to water shortages.
