Today’s attempt to start evacuating an estimated 200,000 people has failed.

We are not and cannot be the guarantor of a ceasefire agreement between the parties or of its implementation.
As a neutral and impartial humanitarian intermediary, we've been facilitating dialogue between the parties on the safe passage of civilians.
Civilians need safety.

Civilians need safety.
Parties need to agree not just in principle but also on the details of safe passages.
In particular:
*Specific time, locations and evacuation routes
*Who may be voluntarily evacuated
*Whether aid can be brought in, not just the evacuation of civilians out

Today, our team began opening up the evacuation route from Mariupol before hostilities resumed.
We remain in Mariupol and are ready to help facilitate further attempts – if the parties reach an agreement, which is for them alone to implement and respect.

People in Mariupol and in other places across #Ukraine are living in desperate situations.
They must be protected at all times. They are not a target.
People urgently need water, food, shelter. The basics of life.
We need safety guarantees to be able to bring them aid.
