“This is especially concerning given the near-total lack of heating, the absence of safe shelter, and the severe shortage of blankets and winter clothing, coupled with the continued restrictions on the delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid,” it added.



Barbaric humans. Give food, shelter, medecine, and fuck off your jack boots from children’s necks.
anyone who tries gets arrested (at best) or raped/killed (at worst) and both of our governments will not allow you to vote for anything besides more barbarism.
