Last residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky eating weeds to survive
Original: 📰 ‘Hell on earth’: last residents eat weeds to survive in Russian-occupied Oleshky 🔗 https://www. theguardian.com/world/
The Guardian reports that a small number of remaining residents in Oleshky, a Ukrainian city in Kherson region under Russian occupation, are living in what locals describe as 'hell on earth', eating weeds to survive amid severe food shortages. Conditions in the occupied city, already badly damaged by the 2023 Kakhovka dam flood, continue to deteriorate with little aid reaching those left behind.
Why now: Fresh reporting on dire humanitarian conditions in occupied Ukraine is drawing renewed attention to the civilian cost of the war.
