malnourished. after years of war. now, drought. at 3300000 people have been forced to flee their homes. are rich reagan is the wild food programs direct to their, in yemen. the joins us live now from saw the berries car a, a truce in place. it has been extended. we heard a bit about that from us president joe biden, on his recent trip to the region. how much has that made much of a difference to the humanitarian crisis, at least facilitated getting humanitarian assistance to those who need it? well, thanks marian. it certainly has, i mean, we were facing very serious challenges just delivering over 1000000000 people throughout the us. and more than northern and southern parts of human, there was a fuel blockade in place. up until that we gain the trees, which started at the beginning of ramadan in april. and since then, you know,
10:11 pm
roughly 2526. your ships have been able to release important gasoline, diesel, which, you know, mean in the world food program, desperately to milsey, process it and also to deliver it with with trucks which, i mean, we're moving anywhere from sorta $3.00 to $400.00 trucks per day around and now the truth is in place and it is being described as a truce rather than he sees 5. but the, you know, the, the wording i suppose matters depending on how you want to interpret this agreement . what is happening in terms of access to the ports of her data? well, i mean 1st, 1st and foremost, i would say that this is really the 1st time and in 7 and
10:12 pm
a half years since the conflict started that mean we've had this sort of positive pos possibility. and there's a real sense and optimism and on the part of the average human needs. i mean, we just had, we just finished grading ramadan and people were able to go home and visit their villages and relatives that they hadn't been able to do in years fast in terms of our ability to access the, the main ports in the country. it, it's happening pretty much unabated. we're able to move anywhere from say, you know, $20.00 to $30000.00 tons of food over a month to month period. so we normally have at least $1.00 to $2.00 large vessels on the basis that we're discharging throughout the country. we have to mil rating along with the private sector. both of us have real challenges, 1000000,
