The United Nations has condemned Russia for denying humanitarian aid access to occupied areas affected by the dam collapse in Odesa.
Towns are flooded beyond recognition; people are starving and there is little fresh water. Experts in the area have warned that the water is ‘dangerous’ to drink, laden with ‘salmonella, worm’s eggs and worm’s larvae.’
But Russian troops have prevented humanitarian aid from reaching the area.
The UN urged Russian authorities “to act in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law.”
