Residents of Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in Ukraine, say they are facing severe shortages of food and water while being subjected to continual shelling.
People living in the town told the BBC that access to basic supplies has been disrupted. Some residents are reportedly eating weeds from their gardens as they struggle to find food.
The accounts describe difficult conditions in Oleshky, where residents say the town has been cut off from essential provisions. They also report that shelling is occurring constantly, adding to the pressure on people remaining there.
The supplied reports do not give further details about the number of residents affected, the duration of the shortages or whether aid is expected to reach the town. The latest situation remains unclear, but residents’ accounts indicate that access to food and water continues to be a serious problem amid ongoing shelling.
