These cabinets almost always show a stress crack on the underside of the 'handle'. The other crack(s) may be stress-related, or simply the result of clumsiness. I'd definitely second the use of Milliput. It is great for cabinets. I use only the superfine white type. The set is worth doing, IMHO.
Reinforce inside with fine alloy mesh and resin, from car accessory shops (used for small body repairs/rust holes). Roughen the inside surface to help the resin to adhere. Then on the outside, apply the Milliput. You could widen the cracks a little if essential. It hardens slowly, allowing a considerable degree of sculpting with knife blade or similar. Eventually sets hard and makes, after spraying, an undetectable repair. It can be made to span voids and hardens at any thickness.
