The Ukrainian Red Cross told DW on Tuesday it is unable to deliver aid into besieged city of Mariupol.

Deputy director, Olena Stokoz, said that there are large stockpiles of supplies in the besieged city of Mariupol but distributing it inside the city is not possible, due to the dire security situation.

"We have a big supply of everything, in fact, because of the major support of our partners in the business. But we cannot get into the city in order to get into the city and to deliver humanitarian aid," she said.

"We need to add the humanitarian corridor, which hasn't been successful for almost two weeks. That is why we cannot replenish our supply from other parts of Ukraine."

Mariia Sirychenko lived in Mariupol but has been evacuated to Lviv, where she's now volunteering to help the internally displaced like herself in the Western Ukrainian city of Lviv.

She told DW, "my heart is really breaking when I see that most of the city's being constantly destroyed. You know, the maternity hospital where I was born, the school where I went as a kid, my parent's house and many of the places where I lived and those places I really liked."

Sirychenko said her uncle told her that in Mariupol, "the constant shelling really can't allow them to go out of the basement because they are afraid that the bomb will, you know, hit them once they go out."
