wounding of thirty six others from july to september the report found there were at least thirty coalition raids every day some targeting schools and homes but it also points the finger at the rebels blaming them for the deaths of eighteen children and the wounding of twenty nine others suzanne meagen is a protection and advocacy adviser on yemen at the norwegian refugee council she says the international community must do more to stop the conflict. this report details children who have been killed in attacks in violence but it doesn't account for the millions of others that are affected by the conflict including thousand that have. hundreds of thousands that have been affected by cholera children that are not able to go to school children that are on the brink of dying of starvation so i'd like to think it'll be taken seriously but it remains to be seen i it is

astounding to me that we have a united nations security council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable we have twenty two million people in need a west beaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags and people don't have enough to eat they're forced to eat whatever they can find this this sort of suffering is inexcusable and we'd really like to see some action taken from the u.s. the u.k. and the united nations security council that we're seeing that all parties to this conflict have complete disregard for the impact of the conflict on civilians. the numbers might be increasing or decreasing but we can never be absolutely sure what those numbers are because some of these areas are so hard to reach in any case any attack that impacts the civilians or forces them to leave their homes is clearly in violation of the rules of war and something we call on parties to to stop

immediately the united states is taking a tough stand against suspected chemical weapon attacks in syria the crumpet ministrations says it's not ruling out the use of force to deter the syrian government. washington says it's extremely concerned about a suspected chlorine attack on duma on the first day now if confirmed it would be the first chemical attack in thirty days meanwhile in hama province also held by rebels airstrikes have destroyed an underground hospital it was regarded as one of the best protected in syria but medics a repeated strikes on thursday put it out of service seventy deca has the latest from untuck in southern turkey near the syrian border. according to the local council in dumas this is the third chemical gas attack in the last month one of the thirteenth of january one of the twenty second and now the one on thursday it is calling on the international community and international organizations to do more

say it's something that happens on a daily basis is organized by charity the activists they were there and suddenly this point broke out now we're told it was a fight that involved around thirty afghan refugees around one hundred eritreans and what particularly alarming is the gunshots were fired now we don't know exactly who fired those gunshots but we are told by police that they are looking for an afghan man the french interior minister spoke a bit early and suggested it could be people trafficking but it was an extremely violent situation by all accounts many of the refugees you take and metal weapons and we're now in a situation in which five refugee eritrean were wounded by those gunshots four of them critically and more than twenty others were hurt during those clashes. now on this scale of your loss we see that we have reached a new level of violence tonight an escalation of violence that has become

completely bearable for the people of color and for the migrants we can't allow a sense of the survival of the fittest in our country so yes we will do everything we can. since the so-called jungle camp was closed down the spotlights really fallen off the area what sort of conditions are people existing in there well i think it is clearly continues to be something of a pressure cooker because you have refugees arriving here all the time most of them want to try and reach the u.k. to cross the english channel but security is extremely high it's getting more and more difficult to do that and then they simply become stuck in this northern port they are sleeping mostly rough outside it's very cold at the moment it is the winter but any time of year the conditions are grim and they really are relying on the kindness of strangers and these food handouts or for people to try and give them clothing now the french interior minister are close suggested earlier and this

was interesting he thinks that some of those charities who are organizing those food distributions in a way bear some responsibility for the violence on thursday because they are attracting people to come they are attracting people to cali and they're also encouraging these large crowds of people gathering in one place but the charities have hit back they say this is simply unfair and untrue and the fact is they are doing the humanitarian work looking after the most fundamental that the french stated simply failing to do from cal a. still ahead of al jazeera the u.s. braces for the release of a controversial memo which is pitting the president against the f.b.i. . we've got more wintry flurries making their way across japan over the next couple days but some pieces of cloud bringing some snow showers into western pos and also

you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines now al-jazeera has obtained a un report which says the saturday coalition bears the greatest responsibility for the deaths of yemeni children he blames the coalition for killing sixty eight children between july and september says whoa three fighters also killed children the united states isn't ruling out the use of force to deter the syrian government from using chemical weapons washington says it's extremely concerned about the suspected chlorine gas attack on first day the attack in duma would be the third in the month if confirmed. five migrants are in hospital in northern france with gunshot wounds after a mass brawl in kalai police were called in as afghan and eritrean refugees fought for two hours on the outskirts of the city. returning now to our top story in the

a need to mention or. the report says that the majority of children who are dying or being wounded by the conflict that activities by the saudi led coalition what are the coalition to change in their tactics to avoid this. more look obviously can't speak to the report now that's not a matter of process humanitarian agency our concern is really the protection of the welfare of people who've been affected by the conflict are you know has been made since the conflict to really try and ensure the protection of civilians we're seeing that people are continuing to be displaced by the conflict when continue to cease incursions and we're just continuing to see other communicable diseases rise as well as your yemen as a result of conflict is dealing with. i understand it's a jump in. and of course situation visibly the report but in terms of what you see and what your workers see on the ground what do the warring parties need to change so that children are not caught up in this conflict. you know has been that from

all the manager actors working on the ground that really we need to do more to protect civilians so civilians need to be spared and civilian life needs to be ensured that it's protected as chemical as we will see more not nationals with normal also samosa so really it's the protection of civilians and respect for international norms. are we seeing an increase in the recruitment of children. more women and we're seeing a white. rejection issues him as a result of the conflicts there it's got to do with children ripping up school it's also got to do with women and children now being forced to admit being exploited being in particularly vulnerable situations so we are going to see more and more consequences as a result of really just rationing trying to survive and also being very particularly vulnerable situation as a result of having no resources and really exhausted. or it will leave it there for now thanks so much for talking to us. thank you. eighteen people were injured when
