The body of a three-week-old baby lies on the floor of a hospital basement, patients can be heard screaming in pain, and doctors have been forced to turn wards into operating theatres - every day in the besieged city of Mariupol is getting more horrific.

The newborn's body has been pictured wrapped in blankets on the ground of a makeshift morgue, a hospital floor that was originally built for food storage.

Sky News has seen the images but they are too distressing to share.

The baby was injured in artillery shelling and could not be saved by doctors in the southern Ukrainian port city which is under the control of Russian forces.

Using a torch on his phone, doctor Valeriy Drengar shows three bundles of cloth - each encasing a small body inside.

"The newborn," he says. "I don't know when he was brought in. And this one... the day before yesterday. All of them were injured. They arrived, but we could not save them.

"We must get used to it, but then in the evening you can't take it out of your mind."

He unbundles one. All that is known about her is that she was 22 days old and her family name, Panasenko.

Around the corner, the bodies of the adult victims can be seen on the floor. All of them draped in cloth, and some still wearing their shoes.

Dr Drengar said: "All the other hospitals were bombed and no one could collect them. There's no emergency services, there's nobody. Relatives… I don't know where we will put them, how we will bury them. In a mass grave? I have no idea."

"We are the only location that takes (injured people) them in. There is no other place," the Russian-speaking medic added, as he explained that the district hospital's morgue was already beyond maximum capacity.

Most in the city are Russian speakers.

His hospital is part of a complex of medical buildings designed to be a general infirmary. The other wards, such as the maternity ward, have been destroyed by Russian troops.

It now serves as an emergency centre, a maternity ward and a morgue.

"Help Mariupol," says a woman in a corridor where some bloodied survivors are being treated as the explosions continue.

"Children, women are being killed, hospitals are overcrowded. We are all here for what? I don't understand. Genocide."

Newborn babies have been moved and are now sleeping in cribs covered by blankets to protect them from glass shattered during shelling.

A nurse said: "Everything fell upon us and we simply carried the children to here."

"Look at this equipment here," she said pointing to an incubator. If it stops working that's it."

Medical supplies are no longer reaching the hospital, and it has been forced to turn corridors into waiting rooms and wards into operating theatres.

Across the blockaded port, hundreds of thousands of civilians have struggled to stay alive without heat, food, and clean water.

But on Tuesday, more than 28,800 escaped through several humanitarian corridors, city officials said.

The successful evacuation by thousands of cars came even as Russian forces renewed their shelling.

Local officials say they have counted around 2,500 dead now, but many more have not been tallied or buried in the mass graves.

Also in Mariupol, a Russian airstrike destroyed a theatre building where hundreds of people were sheltering, the city council said. There was no immediate word on deaths or injuries.

Russian troops also seized the city's largest hospital on Tuesday, holding hundreds people hostage inside the building, according to a regional official.
