Mariupol is key to Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine and has become the most heavily bombed and damaged city in the war. Hundreds of thousands of people may still be in Mariupol, deprived of food, water and heating. Many are sheltering in cellars underground. Just last week, Anna managed to get out of Mariupol after spending 20 days in a cellar and got herself to Zaporizhzhia. Knowing what she did about the conditions people were facing in Mariupol and frustrated by a lack of organised help for them, she raised money for a bus and is now heading back to the city to bring more people out of the beleaguered city. She says people have been advised to walk the 20 miles (35 kilometres) but that many are too weak and run the risk of being shot. "People are dying. I don't have time to wait for others to do something" Photo credit: Oliver Carroll
