Children living among the ruins of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, now under Russian occupation, have been reported to be eating rats and drinking rain water out of bomb craters just to survive.
These
acts of hardship and desperation come as aid to the city has been
halted numerous times first by the Russian encirclement of Mariupol
and now it's occupation.
Children
as young as 3 and as old as 14 are on the brink of starving to death
unless they commit these actions, many were witnessed with tears
running down their face as they snapped the necks of rats and drank
the dirty rain water.
Russia
was issued with the usual condemnations from NATO and UN countries,
but with the new edition of not allowing aid to Mariupol.
Out
of the roughly 7,000 civilians killed in Mariupol, about 300 were
children under the age of 16.
