9:53 pm
rockets. and they're killing innocent civilians including women and children and you recognize the government is accusing have to this forces of targeting civilian areas with heavy weapons we know that over thirty thousand people have been displaced from their homes because of the fighting remains a very tense some. witness sporadic fighting and again their forces loyal to their government say that they are determined not only to push have the forces back out of the south of the tripoli but to chase them towards the city of the u.n. and the city of those other areas around the capital thanks so much mahmoud birth of our barbara fi is a spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross and red crescent societies joins us now live from tunis good to have you with us how is the fighting impacting your ability to operate. well i
9:54 pm
mean we have teams. in different parts of the you have four offices actually over two hundred sixty stuff and in tripoli in particular we have a seventy members strong team who is who has been actually working over the past three weeks since the fighting started to help assist people that are fleeing their homes and support also medical structures so far we have been able to assist at least twelve thousand people dead so we're talking about around two thousand families who have fled their homes. it is said that there are as you mentioned over thirty thousand people that have fled their homes and counting. we are doing our best to respond to the needs as soon as they arise but since the fighting is taking place in densely populated areas we are indeed concerned
9:55 pm
about the potential deterrent to humanitarian consequences for the civilian population where we understand it's getting really critical in terms of the medical infrastructure there tell us about that. so indeed. in general so health care facilities have because of several ways of violence of conflict since two thousand and eleven so for the past eight years the medical infrastructure among others has suffered quite a bit. it's weakened throughout the years so. gradually basically they finally get more difficult to cope with a deteriorating humanitarian situation on our part where assisting several medical structures with war wounded gives a weapon warned it gets other medical items so far we've been able to provide aid or medical assistance enough to treat at least three hundred to four hundred
9:56 pm
casualties and we continue to constantly assess the situation and see how we can assess assists further however again a prolonged conflict could bring the healthcare system. down to it it's nice but then. in a country where already there are lots of shortages in medicine. infrastructure is is weak and people. might have a serious effect on people. how about the ability people's freedom of movement their ability to get out the either to access medical supplies or any humanitarian needs at this point. so depending on the areas it can be more difficult we do understand and including by the way i speak with my colleagues in tripoli every day we have committed
9:57 pm
colleagues that are working on the ground so libyan colleagues even some of them have told me that they've had friends or relatives that are unable to leave their neighborhoods because of ongoing fighting so so it can be pretty difficult and unsafe for people to move out and this is where again we remind the parties to the conflict. that fighting in densely populated areas in urban areas in civilian areas. the damages should be minimized a civilian should be protected their properties should be protected essential infrastructure should should be protected also were fighting is taking place right now there are power cuts and this could potentially get worse so we run room mind to avoid as much as possible spare the civilian population and their properties from the fighting and of course guarantee that they can leave the area their area
9:58 pm
safely should they wish to or and that they have access to essential humanitarian needs. all right thank you so much for coming from a bit of five or. sudanese protest leaders have increased pressure on the army by calling for a large rally demanding a civilian government. that hoping for one billion people to take to the streets three senior members of the ruling military council accused of cracking down on protesters resigned on wednesday the council says it's reached a deal on most of the protesters demands for there's no word on how soon the military will hand over power to civilians. and i'm a dad is live for us now in khartoum so how is that protest shaping up. well some of the number of protesters it could sing by the minute there are more
9:59 pm
and more people coming north on new from the different parts of the capital but from all corners of the country train of people wanting to join one of these four star come from places as far as. in the darfur region the protests the need is called of also that he is from all walks of life to. them they want to realize the number of one million calling this a one million much to try and exact more pressure on the transitional military council for a fast and unconditional return to civilian rule and will this him to have been encouraged by the concessions that have been given by the transitional military council including adding them into a quantity that's going to discuss this crucial issue of a transition to civilian rule. what about the resignations how is that going to
10:00 pm
impact the ongoing situation there and talks. well the general start of resigned general zinni the general. i'll tell you but big how tender that is ignition but the. transition of military council has more to say whether the resignations of the next september what will happen to them if they will be replaced or what we know is that these three generals have been pinpointed for blame by the protest leaders emotional the opposition coalition that is also behind the process and what they have been saying is that these three generals have been representing the interests of the aisle but she'll begin within the transitional.
