More than 350,000 people are sheltering in Mariupol as devastating Russian shelling continues to hammer the besieged city
Cafes where couples fell in love are gone, shops where parents bought food for their families destroyed, even a hospital is ruined.Ivan Goltvenko managed to escape the city with his life, and he was able to help around 400 people to do the same.
But even then, his journey from the city was not without peril, with Russian troops and armour closing in, he said."We were evacuating from Mariupol at our own risk and peril," he told Sky News."We had to use fields instead of roads, so we weren't caught on Russian checkpoints. The road, which usually took two hours, took two days instead.
Among the countless tales of heartbreak and loss stemming from the city under siege, one story has captured international attention: an attack on a theatre being used as a bomb shelter. On Friday it was reported that 130 people had been rescued but that 1,300 people were still trapped under the rubble.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the rescue work was ongoing, but that ongoing shelling by Russian forces was preventing the establishment of effective humanitarian corridors to the encircled port city.
