Madrid, 24 Mar (EFE). - “The bombings began and our world, as we knew it, ceased to exist,” writes Sasha, a member of the staff of Doctors Without Borders in Ukraine, who published his testimony on Thursday a week after he managed to leave the city. Sasha was born in Mariupol, where she spent her entire life and where she continued to work for Doctors Without Borders until last week. In her testimony to that organization, this sanitary reflects a situation of “terror”, in which the inhabitants die every day due to bombs and the lack of vital resources, such as water, food or health care. He explains that, during the first few days, they managed to “donate part of the remaining medical supplies of Doctors Without Borders to an emergency service in Mariupol, but when the electricity and telephone network were cut off, we were no longer able to contact our colleagues or do any work.” As the armed conflict progressed, “the bombing intensified every day,” explains Sasha, so her days became an attempt “to keep us alive and find a way out.” The departure from Mariupol was not easy either for Sasha and his companions, who searched for an escape route for days until they were informed that a convoy was going to leave. “We told as many people as we could,” says Sasha, although she laments that “we had no choice but to leave so many loved ones behind.” “My heart hurts with concern for my family. I tried to get back in to get them out, but I didn't get it. I haven't heard from them,” he explains. He describes the return trip as “a gigantic chaos and panic” that made him aware “that the situation was worse than he thought. We saw giant craters between the blocks of flats, devastated supermarkets, medical facilities and schools, even shelters, where people had searched for a place to go on, destroyed.” Sasha managed to leave Mariupol with some of his companions and “for now” they are safe, “but we don't know what the future holds for us,” he confesses.
