Drinking water in Mariupol is now only by appointment - mayor's adviser


The humanitarian situation in the city is deteriorating.
To get drinking water in Mariupol, residents need to sign up for a queue about two days in advance. This was announced by the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petr Andryushchenko.
Mariupol. Now. To get drinking water now must enroll in the queue. The queue is two days. That is, now drinking water is at best once every two days. The main reason is the drop in the water level in natural sources of water intake. They predict a further reduction in water supplies for natural reasons - summer heat. Humanitarian aid from the occupiers has already been reduced. Now it is issued exclusively to people of retirement age. To everyone else, only through "work". The practice of eating for work has resumed. Young people are forced to sign up for “teams” and help mobile patrols, including in filtration measures. For refusal, they threaten with mobilization into the “DPR” army. Mariupol is being deliberately and systematically turned into a ghetto for Ukrainians ,” he wrote.
On the eve of the Mariupol mayor Vadim Boychenko called to unite to save the inhabitants of Mariupol, who are blocked by the enemy in the city.
He said that in Mariupol today there are 100,000 people left as hostages of the Russian Federation.
Since mid-April, the city has been closed, that is, there is no way to leave the city for the controlled part of our state. People sit near their buildings and wait for the time to come, when the resistant green corridors will open and they will save their lives. They are waiting for it. Therefore, we emphasize that we need to unite around Mariupol, around saving the lives of our esteemed Ukrainians, our esteemed Mariupol residents,” Boychenko said.
According to the city authorities, since February 24, Russian troops have killed more than 22 thousand people in Mariupol, and this is twice as many as were killed during the occupation of the city by the Nazis during World War II. Then about 10 thousand Mariupol residents died.
At the same time, the local population buried the dead at their buildings, in courtyards, in squares, parks. This created a network of spontaneous burials. This created large mass graves.
Doctors say that we are on the verge of an outbreak of infectious diseases. And that this war, these infections - cholera or dysentery - can take thousands of lives of our respected Mariupol residents," Boychenko emphasized.
