On Thursday, May, 5, United Nations spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, speaking on the current incidents seen at the Azovstal plant stated : “The situation continues to be extremely, extremely dire for civilians. I think what we’re seeing from the people that have come out is not only some of them are in need obviously of medical help. … They’re dehydrated, they lack food. But the psychological impact that these people have to deal with, the trauma they have lived, that is something they need immediate support for and they will likely need support for in the weeks ahead,” Dujarric said, as reported by CNN.
On Wednesday 344 people were said to have been evacuated from Mariupol and surrounding areas by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia had promised to allow for evacuation from the Azovstal plant on Thursday, but according to Ukrainian Forces at the complex, the Russian side is continuing the aggression, without letting people evacuate.
