The Madness of Putin Part 31

The number of civilian casualties across Ukraine continues to rise. As of 20 March, OHCHR reports 2,421 civilian casualties, including 925 killed; actual figures are likely much higher. Hundreds of thousands of people remain trapped in areas which are heavily impacted by fighting and shelling.The intensity of the fighting, and notably the indiscriminate airstrikes hitting civilians and civilian infrastructure, continues to trigger large-scale displacement, while simultaneously exacerbating the humanitarian needs of those who are internally displaced or remain in heavily affected areas.The humanitarian situation in Mariupol remains dire. From 18 to 20 March, over 13,000 people were evacuated. However, authorities in Donetsk Oblast say thousands who fled Mariupol now face starvation in Manhush and Melekine as they are once again trapped without safe passage out of locations where food and water are increasingly scarce.
