Vernon is one of the few reporters from the watchdog group Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), who had been deployed to the site.

The group, comprising of 25 people, on Friday had been blocked by the separatists from approaching the crash site of the Boeing 777 aircraft.

They have also reported that till Friday, the bodies of the victims have remained untouched, “just how the fell on the ground”.

Things have changed today although their journey to the site will be faced by challenges.

He also reported other restrictions faced by group including being prohibited to ask questions or entering any premises.

BBC Correspondent Fergal Keane also reported that the militants have deliberately made the situations difficult for the watchdog group, OSCE.
