A commander at the Mariupol steel plant says hundreds are stuck and Russia has resumed shelling.
A few evacuees from Mariupol who had not been sheltering in the steelworks arrived in Zaporizhzhia earlier on Monday after travelling independently.
Another evacuee, who did not give a name, said she had been unable to reach the evacuation buses because of a blockade. Most of the vehicles are battered, one even had its windscreen smashed. Others are using plastic film and sticky tape to hold parts of the car together. After handing over his papers to officials, Daniil jumped out the car and threw his hands in the air. His fingers made the V for victory sign.
