Mariupol residents have become so desperate that some have fought each other for food during Russia's siege of the Ukrainian city, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday.

"People started to attack each other for food. People started to ruin someone's car to take the gasoline out," said Mariupol-based ICRC representative Sasha Volkov in an audio recording.

"Many have no water at all for drinking. All the shops and pharmacies were looted four to five days ago.

"Some people still have food but I'm not sure for how long it will last. Many people report having no food for children."
