"I can’t find the words to describe the horror, the atmosphere, the darkness that reigned over the city of Mariupol. It is totally ruined. We truly went through hell. I can't remember a day or even a couple of hours when they weren't shelling."
HALO Supervisor, Mariupol
We have heard from one of our colleagues who has been able to leave Mariupol safely. He told us what life in the city has been like. We remain deeply concerned for the rest of our colleagues, their families and all the people who are still trapped in Mariupol.
Listen to a translation of our colleague's eyewitness account below.
