What could the UN do about it?   Nothing that I know of.

I may be thinking of a different agency. I know the UNHCR deals with refugee/humanitarian issues but the residents of Mariupol are not technically refugees. 

It's tough to see and hear about what those folks are going through and no one is able to get aid to them or get them out. Humanitarian cease fires by the Russian troops were supposed to happen so people could get out or be given food, water and medicine but it didn't happen.
