Russian occupation “authorities” had to open a large morgue in occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, in order to cope with extremely high mortality rates in the city, Mariupol city council reported via a Telegram post on Oct. 20.
The morgue reportedly is as large as 7,000 square meters in area.
“(Russian) invaders opened a huge morgue in Mariupol,” the message said.
“The city has an ultra-high death toll. Instead of investing in hospitals and restoring normal life, the Russians built a morgue with an area of about 7 thousand square meters."
According to the report, Mariupol residents’ health is deteriorating, with dire living conditions making chronic health conditions more acute.
“People just can't take it anymore,” the message reads.
