Mariupol City Council reminds the address of the Help Center: Zaporizhya, Recordna street, 41 (the circus building). Contact center: 0800 503 508 (round the clock).
As reported earlier, a humanitarian corridor for private cars will run from Mariupol today. Citizens are advised to delete all messengers and photos from phones for security reasons.
According to the City Council, about 160 cars left the city yesterday. As of 10:00 AM, there is information that about 300 Mariupol residents arrived in Zaporizhya. They received the necessary help, including food, medicine and basic necessities. Some remain in Zaporizhya, others decided to go on a personal route.
Mariupol remains one of the most difficult cities in terms of humanitarian situation and evacuation. The enemy does not allow loads with aid and prevents the evacuation of civilians. Every day, Ukraine tries to send humanitarian aid to the surrounded city by bus, which can then be used to evacuate people.
