      Donetsk locals queued for water on Tuesday after the city's water treatment facility closed after being hit by Ukrainian army shelling.

      Queues formed as resident carrying buckets and large bottles waited for the trucks delivering water to arrive. City authorities have called on residents to try to conserve as much water as possible.

      Alongside the water shortage, there are reports of a shortage of bread in the city and long queues forming outside city bakeries since Tuesday morning.
