GENEVA - The WHO said Tuesday it was struggling to deliver two generators to hospitals in the besieged Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, fearing the worst for its hard-hit health system.

The World Health Organization said it was trying to pre-position supplies closer to the frontlines to speed up delivery if a window opens.

Two more were for Mariupol, also in the east, WHO Europe spokesman Bhanu Bhatnagar told reporters in Geneva via videolink from Lviv. "We don't have access to Mariupol at this time but we will position everything so that the minute we can get access, we are able to get the supplies in," Mr Bhatnagar said."We fear the worst for the health system in Mariupol."
