War and Pics: Life inside Ukraine refugee camps
Ever since Russia launched a military strike on Ukraine to invade its territory, more than 3.3 million people have fled the country and over 6.6 million were internally displaced.
Russian forces on Sunday bombed an art school in the besieged Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, where about 400 residents had taken shelter, the city council said on Sunday.
The council said the building was destroyed and there were victims under the rubble, though no exact figure has been ascertained yet, as per Reuters.
Meanwhile, ever since Russia launched a military strike on Ukraine to invade its territory, more than 3.3 million people have fled the country and over 6.6 million were internally displaced and are now living in the bunkers and refugee camps.
People continue to flee because they are afraid of bombs, airstrikes and indiscriminate destruction," said UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi.
"Aid is vital but can't stop the fear. Only stopping the war can."
Some 90 per cent of those who have fled are women and children. Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 are eligible for military call-up and cannot leave, said UN.

United Nations has issued an appalling warning noting that the children fleeing the war in Ukraine are at heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation. "Traffickers often seek to exploit the chaos of large-scale population movements, and with more than 1.5 million children having fled Ukraine as refugees since February 24, and countless others displaced by violence inside the country, the threat facing children is real and growing," the UN agency said on Saturday.
