MOSCOW, May 6. /TASS/. The food and drinking water supply to Mariupol has been settled, Mayor Konstantin Ivashchenko said on Soloviev Live television channel on Friday.
"The question of food and humanitarian aid deliveries does not arise now. In my opinion, it has not arisen for already about two weeks. Everything has been resolved. Food kits are being distributed both at the aid points and to the bed-ridden patients," he said.
Ivashchenko said that the problems with water supply had the biggest impact on residents of apartment buildings. He pointed out that the city authorities had set up more than 50 drinking water distribution points, where from 52 to 80 tonnes of water were brought daily.
"The water problem has been removed as such," the mayor added.
According to Ivashchenko, the city is gradually reviving the operation of key services, for instance, the waste management services are already working. On May 4, the first bus route was reopened, and two more routes will be added on May 9. Four markets are expected to be operating by May 12. Moreover, three schools have again opened their doors to a total of 3,000 students.
