War and Pics: Life inside Ukraine refugee camps

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia`s siege of the port city of Mariupol was "a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come", while local authorities said thousands of residents there had been taken by force to Russia.

The United Nations human rights office said at least 847 civilians had been killed and 1,399 wounded in Ukraine as of Friday. The Ukrainian prosecutor general`s office said that 112 children have been killed.

United Nations has issued an appalling warning noting that the children fleeing the war in Ukraine are at heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation. "Traffickers often seek to exploit the chaos of large-scale population movements, and with more than 1.5 million children having fled Ukraine as refugees since February 24, and countless others displaced by violence inside the country, the threat facing children is real and growing," the UN agency said on Saturday.

Popular singer Cher has called on people has offered to provide a safer place for those who are fleeing Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. 

The celebrity also called on people who are in a position to step up and help the refugees of the war.
