The city of Mariupol has been destroyed by the Russia/Ukraine war, with many residents having no where else to go.
Locals have lost houses, belongings, family, and with no other options, some have decided to stay in their hometown surrounded by destruction, rubble and the memory of what was once their city.
Residents wait for food, water and humanitarian aid to be brought into the city, as this is vital for them to survive.
“My husband says we will not leave Mariupol. We will stay (here) until the end. Whatever happens, happens” Alla, Mariupol resident.
