7:13 am
we have some issues related to security, but we are doing our best to accelerate the process. but it's not just the village is lacking aid. it's the cities too. and we also went to like a, an in the cave as a camp full of people just not even just sticks with top pulling above them. that area, presumably you can get to, but they also said they haven't seen anyone from the government. why haven't they received any help either? like i said, our response is ongoing yesterday. i know there was distribution in the guy using our methodologies. it may happen that you didn't go to where we were distributing but as a huge problem with distribution that the prime minister had so far, only vaguely alluded to something that we're talking about. there's a stretch of the road from here to like tie, which is really difficult to get a down because it's controlled by gangs. what is your government doing to try and figure out that road and also to try and stop those gangs. they've also kidnapped
