Sievierodonetsk facing humanitarian disaster - official

The occupied city of Sievierodonetsk is being destroyed and looted by the Russian troops, and is, according to the statement governor of Luhansk Serhei Haidai made on Friday, about to become a "humanitarian disaster" as "80% of housing was destroyed or damaged." Sievierodonetsk is currently under siege.

"The city is on the verge of a humanitarian disaster – there is no centralized water supply, gas supply, or electricity supply. [...] Since the end of February, the occupiers have been shelling critical infrastructure facilities, destroying them almost completely. They will not be able to repair anything. Because even in peacetime, such a volume of restoration can be done in six months to a year. If materials and skilled workers are available. Russians have neither that nor the other'', the governor wrote on his Telegram account.

The United Nations previously described the situation in the city as ''extremely alarming and declining rapidly.''
