Ukrainians denounce dire conditions inside Mariupol bunkers

Ukrainians seeking shelter at Mariupol's steel plant have been showing the ever-increasingly dire conditions, as food and medicine begin to run out.

Around 1,000 Azovstal steel plant workers are thought to currently be down there, many of which have been trapped for almost two months.
