a mass of people. is every individual person and a family. what would you tell us to also help us understand the kind of what you're doing and why it's needed within ukraine? i absolutely agree with your right now. millions of people are of fact then ukraine . but we cannot just think about numbers, we need to think that each individual person and each of these lives is valuable. and there is the story behind each of that part. and they have been dealing with about uniting families of children who have the threat or genetic disease, spinal muscular atrophy. we have worked with them before and not the school really was been successful in evacuating a lot of them. but unfortunately, some of them are currently stock and muddy or the stadium eastern ukraine, but as heavily shall right now the last message i have from this family,

the 9 days ago. it's asked us, we have no food. you have not electricity. we have no madison and i know you just feel completely trapped and you don't know what you can do and how can you, how these people and i just pray and hope that there won't be a face human quarter door established thorn that the poor people are mighty open can leave, and i hope that these 2 families that the have a face. yes. oh yes. if you don't know what we can do and how we can help these people, that is your job. that is, you and archers job focusing on what's happening and what the needs are in ukraine . when you look at the country, how will you planning to help people? where are you? what are you doing? yeah, vestibular as absolutely right. it's, it's, it's not the numbers, but still the numbers does give, don't give a sense of how, how bad it is. it is, it is a crisis where we estimate that some 12000000 people are in need of assistance inside

ukraine. that's not 112000000. that's 12000000 individual disasters. it's a crisis that went from relatively bad conflict or buts. so slow burning or india in the east a couple of days ago into now having reached apocalyptic proportions. and we are doing what we can or to get, or our assistance ramped up. we, we, we did have before or before the 24th of february. of course, a you an infrastructure if you like a few military and a program, a inside ukraine, that is now being beefed up very, very fast. we have had like that so many others had to leave or areas in active fighting. that did not mean that we left ukraine, not at all. we want to stay. we have now got our, our,

our staff in places where they can actually regroup at, think about what can we do to get the, to get the assistance going, because it's critical and it's getting worse by the minute us. and as we are here, that what if you look at the humanitarian crisis that's happening in ukraine? how would you share that with our audience? has he been sharing that without william's well, i think the very, very 1st needs that people have here is some safety. and you can't really help people if there's a war going on and also cease fires are being violated. so what we've seen is that as an evacuation from, from towns that are under fire, that are being shout by russian forces right now that they have also been hampered by continuous shooting. so human a tarion 8 is going in, but it's also being shot at the people who bring in 8 the risk their lives at the moment. so what they really need is safety. and everyone will have who i have been

speaking to in the last days and weeks actually is saying to me, please close the skies. that is a really strong demand. strong wish from people here in ukraine. they say close the skies. they say we can fight these thanks, but we can't stop bombs falling, falling from the sky. and i was in a place not far from, from here in the she told me, and 3 residential areas were completely destroyed by russian shelling by rockets by missiles that came down, including a school. a lot of schools have been destroyed. hospitals, as we know, have been destroyed and as nothing people can do, they wake up in the morning by a huge shout and their, their village, their neighborhood is destroyed. i'm going to, i want to go to some reporting from john a whole from out there because he mentioned a hospital thing under attack. and jonah also saw that happen to and then i'm going

to go to you too because we got some questions to keep against. and for over the 1st, he's done whole ah, a day of relative calm along temporary avenues of escape. war came suddenly to the people of ukraine getting away from it is much harder from cities like sumi in the north where residential buildings were struck. and from enter godsa in the east liberal of the waters or even from murray, a pole in the south. among the most embattled of all their fleeing scenes like this, the remains of a maternity hospital, another inexplicable tragedy in conditions the red cross describes as apocalyptic. for many civilians still trapped in the ruins of their cities. there is no respite, nor for medical teams in hospitals where the injured arrived daily and unusual. we've got questions about how do you protect the humanitarian workers when

you are coming under threat from fighting. thank. how are you able to do that? yes. do you want to start an hour? you can pick up? yeah, it's it, thanks very much because it's very, it's a very critical question right now because everybody wants to help all these hundreds or thousands of city of civilians. we're in very dire in dire need. it's our job is our obligation to do so. so we need to get a system in place whereby we can insure 2 things. first of all, that those who are in those encircled earth cities while we're on the fire, have a safe passage out in a direction of their own choosing. we are, we are talking to both sides of the conflict. we have a team are in moscow now talking to 2 officials there to get a system in place where, where this can happen. the 2nd thing that we need is then for aid to move in to

where the most critical needs are. there will be people in, in a city, even if there is a safe passage out who, for whatever reason or will stay. they will need humanitarian assistance of all kinds. and we need safe a passage in we need the agreement from the men with guns or that they do not shoot on us. and to make that happen, they need to understand what it is we do when we do it, why we do it is awfully telling us allen. we have melissa, this is all coming up. but you have to make this happen. who are you talking to right now? because the humanitarian coin, as we keep hearing on the news. well, there was supposed to be one, but then people waiting in a line to get brag, were killed, or people causing a bridge were killed. so you, you an archer and people wonder who is doing this, you have to do it, you have to talk ukrainians, you have to talk to russians. can you explain a little bit more about how we do that? yeah, and,

and we do so those corridors were agreed between the russian federation and the ukrainians. that the united nation, it was not and is not operationally part of it. and that is why we go in as a we actually have us and also our red cross colleagues quite from experiencing how to set this up. so we don't no job at eyes, people's lives uneasy too. so tell us how to do it. so we speak to military commanders on the ground. we speak to a military commanders and a foreign ministry officials in the capitals here and, and moscow to get the agreement to get the things such a standard operating procedures in place for them to implement step will lay about. they clearly have yet they're clearly not. and not listening because what we've seen is so evacuation boss is being shot at unitarian workers,

especially here in ukraine. what i've seen so far is mostly local organizations, local volunteers. i mean everyone in ukraine who hasn't flagged the country is basically now a volunteer. they're all helping they're collecting food, they're collecting clothes from friends, from relatives, and they are risking their lives going into the most front line cities the where the battles are really raging on. and many of them, of course, risk their lives and also our shot at so far we haven't seen that any agreement has been held so far. people are really stuck and of course they're, they're terrorized right now. oh yeah, go ahead and i for this is and i would also would like to go back to the point stephanie brought out that ukrainians. i asked him to close the sky and there is that beg, humanitarian need and that as well, there's a need to protect the civilians to ensure that the squire doors are not violated. to ensure that these bombs are not falling. and these,

the child trans and maternity hospitals and that the innocent civilians are not killed. people are trying out for this and the barrow, i'm sure many creative solutions to that and people ukrainians are asking for the global community to come together and to solve this. and the no fly zone is essential is essential to preserve lives, of innocent children and people. oh yeah. when you sent me the fax go ahead. yeah. what i just wanted to add that they really feel abandoned at the moment by the world today. busy you know, they feel like the world is watching while they are fit these, their schools, their hospitals are being bombed and they, they appreciate all the attention and now in the west, on this war. but they feel like there's a lot of words, but no action. so really desperate to please for help i hear all the time. oh yeah . when i think that the ukrainians have

a lot to show to the world and inspire the world and the way of action, a stephanie described to people are organizing them the ground. the have people on the ground are very close. friends are well and tiers will have been working with us for years ago. when you all over the country. and my grand mother was 80 years old, is had the full have the refugees in western ukraine even. she's doing her part and i think this is a call to international community the yes, we do appreciate the support, incredibly, that emotional support is huge, but the motional support doesn't give tangible support doesn't, doesn't pre packed ukrainian. people from the ground doesn't protect them from starving, doesn't protect them from being stake in these conditions where they cannot have proper care. let me just bring in a new voice conversation. this is lauren co. ruth and no one can roof is looking at

ukraine humanitarians. but looking at it from a local level, let's have a listen. let's have a look. i think we need to provide equitable services support and protection to local aid workers, ukrainians for the most part, who were doing relief work on the ground. local a workers typically receive a fraction of pay benefits, training and security services that ex pat international aid workers receive. they get fewer security details, less armor, less life insurance, less health care, and less mental health care services, but they perhaps need them even more. oh yeah, how you volunteer staying on the ground because it's in the big the big part of the screen because it's your team have have support. they have backup. they have, you know, you can switch them and you can switch them out. they're going to get time off eventually when they get out of compassionate leave, etc, etc. oh yeah. what,

what about you want to change on the ground? what they are my volunteers, my volunteers. i work in 24 sat on they sleep or, you know, the driver one here is that we have they, they go to the say it is. they pick up the children with disability as their families. they transport them. they sleep together at the best friends location where they can get, you know, a place to sleep. it's a very tough walk and these guys that are essentially all up mom belies. so monday i called to the army or territorial defense. they will be gone. and so, yes, essentially, as you've sad, there is no rest for them. and i would like to say that i think those, you know, those and my usual ukraine has now has psychological, a fact far reaching, even outside the ukraine. ah, the are based on the you, us, all of our a team is extremely mobilized. i'm a scientist and for 2 weeks now i just cannot do my work because all i can think of

is getting children up to safety. and so many of my co workers are doing the same that you, their laughter. a job took locations, the young neglect in their families. and this is the fact that the world now on you to bryan says international humanitarian law is supposed to protect civilians while they asked strikes, targeting residential areas and what is being done to ensure accountability. i feel like i'm going to split this question between step and yet, and you explained the process by which you create humanitarian cordele. you talked to generals on both sides. no one is listening. this is a legal gets that well, absolutely, this is, this is not something new, this is a, this is an obligation for countries are in, in the world. and, and i just want to address a couple of things because the, the frustration is,

is it is, it is very high. i understand that the united nations have stayed. the vast majority of our staff are ukrainians, earn the internationals we have. they have stayed in, in ukraine. they have all been moved. ur to true to safe locations. so i feel we're, we're in the same boat here on the message about, stop shooting on, on, on aid workers when they tried to go in and help. i could not agree more, but we need to send that message in the right direction and we are amplifying that message or we can. but we are also our ourselves as united nations humanitarians. we are under the same conditions as every one else. and i think it's, it's important to understand that that there is a united nations that worked if you like, under conflict how to stop the conflict. and then there's the united nations that what in the conflict for as long as it goes on,

because we cannot leave people behind. so we are, we are doing what we can to make this safe passage of people out safe passage offer office supplies in or hadn't it you would have happened days ago. i fully agree, but we keep working at it and hopefully in, you know, in coming days we will see some progress on this that well, why are rockets falling down on the residential areas that it's exactly the question that many of these residents civilians have the day of asked me why we are not a military targets. vladimir putin is saying we're only hitting military targets. obviously not. this is a school, this is a neighborhood. and we were called brought us the russians called us brothers. and now our brothers are doing this to us. so there is this complete despair and an unreal feeling that in 2 weeks time, this does, there's

a huge destruction village is destroyed, city is destroyed, and people are still trying to comprehend why, why and how is this possible? so there's all these questions and of course the government here is calling it a war crime and a genocide and a lot of people are agreeing are agreeing with that. so these business spare, i think, is something that the is really, really present in the whole of the country right now. earlier we spoke to layla mata she is from in the region refugee council. and this is what she told us. there needs to be an immediate cease fire to enable life saving relief for people in ukraine. one of the biggest challenges for delivering aid to the millions of ukrainians to find themselves at the front lines of the senseless war is an 8 workers themselves. are having to flee from attacks my colleagues within a region repartee council in ukraine. tell us that they're having to hide for hours

and nice and cold and are on shelters. and he can save lives with her under a constant barrage of bombs and grenades. and that's a huge problem because the needs in ukraine are rising by today on here, i want to show an audi and also a graphic, a map. it's on my laptop right now. let me explain what it is. it's can be compiled by 2 news agencies. the a s p and reuters, and they looked at all of the countries that are either providing military or humanitarian a to ukraine. so that is what we're seeing at the moment as of this week. so you can see the out pouring of. how do we help ukraine as if it's always a question that we're off every time we do an episode like face people are watching and they're thinking now what do we do? oh yeah. what direction do you want to give our audience? really a call on the international community. it's sure unite and keep providing military

assistance to ukrainian government and unite to quote, ukraine, the sky, to arrange for a non fly zones. this is really important, but the, the, to save the civilians and to get a chance to ukrainian military to you know, to the found to the find the ukraine. and i don't believe ukraine, ukrainian army. and so you're praying on government. ukraine. young people are all extremely united right now, and everybody is doing everything they can to stop the thrash and invasion into your crime. and i would ask everybody in the world, reach out to your governments, ask them to support ukraine and tangible life. and we really hope that this will be don very on yansa shocking,

we have less than one minute left. so i'm going to ask you in a sentence from you and archers perspective, what would be your off to the international community watching right now? i said, our ask is purely shoe minute terry. and i want to say 2 things. first of all, we have seen the neighboring countries to ukraine receiving over 2000000 or refugees. that is harry, welcome. i asked or stores people to also open their hearts to her to the ukrainians. thank you so much once and step. i know you will continue to see steps reporting on al jazeera and also, oh yeah, thank you so much. i'm gonna send you back here to my laptop that you can continue to follow our 3 guess whenever you need to on social. this is rather for ukraine. will you find? oh, it's work. oh yeah. co founded this organization. this is yes, he will keep me up to date for sure. what's happening in ukraine and of course step . that is her job. thank you for your insightful questions and comments. we do appreciate you. i will see you next time. take care.

ah. i feel like representation of who i am and what i want people to remember me by markson is my get out take it is not that you just mark against the people around like got away. i'm telling the story about my life is going to take 50 future to do a don't so bad with you. deep award winning documentary witness on out his era. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. oh, humans, unit aged birds are risk of extinction. human ambitious plan to rid the nation of

if some friendly, 511 east. investigate on how to deal with many aspects of afghan culture had been systematically destroyed or forgotten. the afghan films archive has been largely preserved through all of these years. when so much else was burned, looted, or blown up a small group of people who risk their lives to save the national archive. they managed to preserve the films, and these records of all of the other afghanistan's that existed saving decades of history. they believe these films have something to give to the present moment.

in the 960 s afghans cinema was born filmmakers. what on the way of the dangers to come? ah, russia maintains its bombardment of the besieged, ukrainian city of mario paul, where a maternity hospital was destroyed on wednesday. ah, i'm come all santa maria here in tow without continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. the top diplomats from both countries have met in turkey, but have been unable to agree on c spy. but russia has agreed to allow a ukrainian repetitive to reconnect policy. chernobyl is.
