go from the basement? we are cooking out a fire. for now we have food and firewood but in a week we ll have nothing. no food at all. our correspondent wyre davies has been speaking to families who have escaped mariupol and reached the city of dnipro. in recent days, we have seen how cruel this conflict is especially for children. but there is just occasionally kindness and humanity too. this community run centre in the central city of dnipro is the first point of safety and refuge for many victims of the war from across eastern ukraine, including mariupol. the city they left behind is in ruins. barely a building is left unscathed by russian shelling, and according to the city council 3000 civilians have been killed. many of them lie where they fell, others are hastily buried by neighbours. a russian imposed deadline for mariupol s defenders to surrender was ignored. so the shelling continues.
