successfully dug out the stern of the can all as one of the world's most important shipping lanes with trade valued at more than $9000000000.00 a day some are headed as they head of middle east advocacy of the norwegian refugee council she says a delay in fuel deliveries can be devastating for syria the news coming out of syria is deeply deeply worrying the country was already hitting crisis point with the economic collapse hitting syria and the daily lives of syrians and now these delays to fuel shipments will make an really bad situation worse fuel was already in short supply for many many months in syria which has affected hospitals marketplaces it's meant that public transport is severely strained and overcrowded which is also leading to the spread of covert 19 so these reports will not only

worsen those existing situations but will also mean that people will continue waiting in days in line for full fuel in and the situation on the ground will only worsen fuel is absolutely essential to the delivery of goods and services and has been mentioned has really been disrupted for months now because it's been in short supply so we've seen marketplaces suffer we've seen hospital suffer. and really if it's affected the daily lives of syrians who are struggling to cope with the general economic crisis inside the country so it's really urgent that shipment situation in the sou-s. is addressed and that shipments of fuel can be resumed and continued to syria but also i think the general economic crisis in syria really needs more support and assistance. well a major rescue operation is underway to rescue survivors of

a deadly attack in palma in mozambique among them a 1000 workers from the french energy giant total an armed group has been laying siege on the coastal town since wednesday after being trapped for days survivors have finally been able to leave and fighting broke out in northern mozambique in 2017 and since then hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in kabul delgado province had been seen as a safe haven because it's near multi-billion dollar gas projects with heightened security as many as $70000.00 people fled from other areas to the town on wednesday armed groups entered palma forcing many to take shelter in the hotel that includes foreigners who worked on the gas projects and as you've heard some people have managed to escape to the provincial capital pemba. monitoring developments from harare in neighboring zimbabwe. we're hearing that several of those birds have

the united states has said that special forces will help train the mozambican army portugal the former colonial power has committed to changing the mozambique and they are reports that south africa has been training some military officials there are private armies in and around the area some of them from neighboring south africa they've been helping the mozambique an army try to push back these armed groups and right now they also helping with the evacuation process andrea you because an executive chairman of the african energy chamber he says mozambique needs extra knowhow. it was a scene the world court made it was so you can see. there you probably finance and this is not something for mozambique alone mozambique as a country has already you've already been struggling to keep people emerged out of poverty a middle class the ministry the military is strong but not very strong to really
