'The pharmacies are empty as well. Some pharmacies [have] broken doors and people have taken the pills.'in Mariupol, Ukraine reports on the situation on the ground. Below is an edited transcript of a phone conversation with him, which took place on March 5, 2022.
We saw lots of explosions all over the city in different districts of Mariupol. Of course, there are some districts that are more heavily shelled and ruined. But even in the center, there are places where explosions happened. I also visited today the guest house [where] our staff [live]. They went to the market and they found a place where they could buy potatoes, and they were looking also for places where they could get some water, but I don’t know if they managed to find some or not. Later, we know that they tried to organize evacuations, but then these were canceled as well.
