Description
Unlit, often inaccessible and full of litter, residents of Kyiv are frustrated with -- and deterred by -- the poor state of some of the city's purpose-built bomb shelters. "How can a person come down here in a wheelchair?" asks Anna Boryshkevych, a public health worker, standing in one such shelter, "I'm just talking about decent conditions". Residents' annoyance comes despite a recent drive by local authorities to improve shelter provision. This month, Vitali Klitschko, mayor of the Ukrainian capital, and a commission inspected more that 4,600 shelters, ruling that 65 percent were useable, 21 percent needed improvement and 14 percent were unfit for use. "This is a real bomb shelter" explains Kateryna Shylo, speaking in a purpose-built, but unusable, shelter, "if it was cleaned up and put in order, 350 people could fit in here." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
