2:17 pm
the work is just beginning. >> as you say you work most closely with street children. they have been affected more by ebola along with the elderly. what can be done outside the country and inside the country to help these two sections of society that are most vulnerable? >> i guess my message is really to the world not to feel that ebola's done, just because the medical crisis is in liberia over and hopefully the other countries, but actually keep funding, keep support and keep the attention on helping to rebuilt and providing particularly for the children who have been hugely affected. >> and presumably there are a vast number of children who they may have been sick, perhaps they've survived. but many children have also lost parents, relatives. care-givers, are are you now expecting a spike in the number
2:18 pm
of orphaned children? >> absolutely, our focus has been on those who are been orphaned. those who have lost one or both parents. and really now our job is our responsibility to make sure they're settled with the new caregivers hopefully relatives and that those caregivers can be supported through business grants and savings schemes so they can afford to get these children back in school and help rebuild their lives. >> thank you for giving us insight into challenges that still lie ahead despite the fact that liberia has been declared ebola-free. thank you very much. thank you. >> the shape the parties image that has been dominated by white libltion. liberals. haru mutasa reports.

2:36 pm
happening, be it the air strikes but also the fighting on the ground and then everything else comes after. once you have a humanitarian force that is standing and is respected by everyone, you will be able to get food in, you will be able to get fuel in and maybe if we get the fuel in, we would be able to fix water pipes and pump water to the places where it's most needed. >> thank you very much for painting a picture of what life must be like there maria claire figale, life for us in sanaa. several children have been injured in fighting in the yemeni city of ta'izz. those loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh shelled residential areas in the el ukwa district tried to shell with tanks but forces loyal to harnld pushedabdrabbu mansour hadi pushed
