8:06 am
a lack of sanitation has created the perfect conditions for cholera the vaccination is a very needed and it should start next wednesday next week the faster we go the most years we have to go to transmission. of the coalition in the population then there is a big need for community engagement safe water distribution. for fall in this population of berrabah that also for the districts are running bear out where there is an iris for cases there are so. cholera is not new to mozambique the country has experienced regular outbreaks over the past five years but aid agencies now warn there is little time to prevent a major outbreak and more should be done to stem the spread of the disease. each way al-jazeera will rob holden is the world health organizations emergency response

8:09 am

a level of respect to the millions who struggle to survive while the fight for political control of the country carries on. hundreds of central american asylum seekers on the u.s. mexican border. living in limbo under the troubled ministrations hard line policies the regulations require migrants to remain in mexico for months and sometimes precarious conditions until their court dates on to zero as men were up and i reports now from the mexican border city of tijuana. it's another day at a migrant shelter on the us mexico border almost everyone here is from central america and they're seeking asylum in the united states. in the past migrants would be allowed to wait in the u.s. while their cases were considered but a change in policy by the trumpet ministration now requires them to be sent back to mexico until their case numbers are called yes back at the i arrived in tehran and applied for a number because they said that with the number everything would work out now i'm
8:14 am
saying that's not the case in. most of the people at this shelter have been here for several months many of them tell us they don't feel safe. the americans asked me if i had somewhere to stay and. i said no we don't we don't have family here or anything they asked if it's dangerous for us in mexico and i said yes we run a risk there but they still send us back here i don't feel that's right. the city of the one who has seen an increase in violent crime in recent months there have been almost five hundred people killed so far in two thousand and thirteen adding to the more than twenty five hundred homicides reported last year. for central american asylum seekers like nineteen year old idea of being stuck in mexico seems just as dangerous as returning to his home in honduras. here and here want to get kidnapped or something worse because of all the criminals as
8:15 am
a migrant you get scared but no matter i suppose we have to stay here for some time . human rights advocate because of clark says the change in policy by the u.s. is turning the mechs. side of the border into a massive waiting room for asylum applicants look at it but what the united states is intending to do is dissuade migrants by making the asylum process in the united states more bureaucratic an estimated two hundred forty individuals have been sent back to the one under the trumpet ministrations remain in mexico program but as the policy expands to more cities along the border that number is expected to rise significantly. well and go live now to manuel who's in the city of twenty still the men while the officials say that this is all necessary because they're crisis point a on the border is that the case. well and certainly the threats that we keep hearing from president to close the mexico border to and funding to central america are one of the reasons that there is so much criticism
8:16 am
of these of the policies that are designed to stem the flow of migrants president from continues to call on mexico to prevent migrants from reaching the united states but it doesn't address the root causes of migration migration experts continue to point to high levels of poverty extreme violence in the countries and levels of political instability that can trigger that continue to drive the central americans away from their home countries into new mexico and into the u.s. southern border now while we're on the subject. of borders i want to give our viewers possibly a look at something that may not be able to see every day which is the u.s. southern border wall where we are right now on one side the mexican side you see people sort of enjoying the weekend having a bit of fun enjoying the water and then on the other side of the border not very many people not not much more than a border patrol truck kind of keeping a close eye and making sure that you know when it crosses over but we what we do continue to hear from border patrol including
8:17 am
a statement that we heard today from u.s. customs and border patrol is that the southwestern border is that a quote critical capacity saying that the current situation is not sustainable and this is one of the parts of the rhetoric that we continue to hear from the trumpet ministration lacking specificity in what they ask mexico to do in terms of stemming the flow of migrants because again it doesn't address the root causes of migration it doesn't address these these issues that i mentioned before which are extreme poverty which are the high levels of violence and the high levels of political corruption in countries like honduras guatemala and el salvador which is where we see a majority of central american migrants we talk about the demographics themselves migration from mexico to the united states is actually in the negative at the moment it's these asylum seekers from central america that are right near unprecedented numbers that's what we hear in reference to the quote unquote crisis at the southern border of the united states so
8:18 am
