Life in a humanitarian collapse
Hundreds of people remain in the city, living in abandoned buildings and makeshift shelters without access to clean water, toilets, and medicines. The food situation is critical: in the local market, the price of one kilogram of rice reaches 100 dollars. Only on Tuesday, the first charity kitchen, opened by the local humanitarian initiative ERR, started operating in the city.
According to UN representatives, the surrounding villages appear completely abandoned, but there is evidence that part of the population continues to be held captive, and many wounded need immediate evacuation. The main task of the current mission was to determine safe routes for further aid delivery and to deploy a broader assessment of the situation in the region.
