About 1,000 civilians trapped in Mariupol’s Azovstal plant include infants, children, elderly, and women.

Lyudmila Denisova said there are about 500 wounded soldiers who are also in the shelter, running out of drinkable water and with little food left. People sheltering at Azovstal don’t see sunlight at all, leaving children on the verge of exhaustion and in need of comprehensive care, the official said.
