Mariupol evacuation in war-hit Ukraine ‘failed’: Red Cross

Evacuation of civilians in Ukraine’s embattled city of Mariupol “failed,” the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Sunday.

“Today’s attempt to start evacuating an estimated 200,000 people has failed,” the ICRC said on Twitter.

“The failed attempts underscore the absence of a detailed and functioning agreement between parties to the conflict,” the global humanitarian group said.

It said parties need to agree on the details of the safe evacuation of civilians, like specific time, locations, and routes.
