“The city is essentially being destroyed ruthlessly block by block. Heavy street fighting continues and artillery bombardments threaten the lives of the estimated 13,000 civilians still sheltering in the ruined city. It is impossible to track civilian casualties amid the round-the-clock shelling. Civilians are dying from direct strikes, from fragmentation wounds and under the rubble of destroyed buildings, since most of the inhabitants are hiding in basements and shelters. There are food supplies for several more days, but the issue is how to distribute them.”
