A girl, six, has died from dehydration "alone, weak, frightened, thirsty" in Ukraine's besieged city of Mariupol after spending days with no water, power, or heating supplies.
Last week Russian forces cornered the port city with constant airstrikes, leaving residents without energy and water, with no way to evacuate.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the child's death this morning in a video address and officials later said her name was Tanya.
"In 2022, from dehydration," he said, likening the humanitarian crisis linked to Russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities to that created by the Nazi invasion during World War Two.
