7:34 am
welcome to the stream. um josh rushing, sitting in for me. okay. the you in an international aid groups warned that hundreds of thousands of children who sir dan are bearing the brunt of rising food prices and poverty. a year after the country's military took power and a coo and they say millions more children are missing out on school education. depriving a young generation of opportunity. on today's episode of the stream, we ask how children of sudan are faring and what's needed to bring immediate relief . oh hey, you're watching this on youtube. you see that over there, that that chat box. we have a live stream producer there waiting to get your questions or comments to me so i can get him to our guest. so help me out here be a part of the show, right. joining us to talk about the challenges facing sedans, children, we have arshad malik, his country director at save the children, sir dan, he's in johan square today,
7:35 am
but normally based in sudan that he'd a corolla as a human rights activist at the sima center, a cartoon based group dedicated to helping women and children, and we have al jazeera correspond him, morgan, and she is also in khartoum. so her book, actually let me begin with you, the viewer, if you're watching this uninjured as stop right now, an intro to see these numbers checked us out. top line 3000000 children and sudan are facing malnutrition, 600 that hear those acute mound attrition. and here's what i need you to hear. half of those could die without treatment. however, i, i can't get my head around 300000 plus children facing death through mound nutrition. i can only really understand it through one child, one mom, one family. and that's what you're reporting on al jazeera english, i think,
7:36 am
does for us. so i want to share a clip at that. now with our audience, when i'm neighborhoods one year old daughter, how was started to lose weights 4 months ago, she thought it was just a phase, but how was health continued to deteriorate? and now i'm now has brought her to a malnutrition center for treatment. then i is horizontal, italy because of the cost of food in the market. most of the time we can only afford to give her milk. things are very expensive. and even when i nurse her, there's not enough to keep her full visibility. so, so like a mom there said that most of time they can't afford milk in the market, but because the price has gone up, they now can't, well, how much the price has gone up and why, what, what's happening there? well 1st of all, you have to understand that south that sedans economy has been in a downward spiral. and it's one of the things that triggered the antique evelyn protest against the sheer and that late 2018. now,
7:37 am
people have been pretty much earning up more or less the same salaries, especially civil service. you know, people make about 304-0000 destiny's pounds now, and that's less than a $100.00 a month. and these are people who will stable jobs. many of the people they work on a day to day basis in their daily income earners and are for them to be able to keep up with the market. prices is just quite hard. now just look at it this way. a bottle of milk, let's say for 5 years, backwards cost about $20.00, maybe sidney's pounds. but now when you go to the market because ups like a 1000 seventies. and so that's, that's quite expensive for many families to look for it. especially if ever that way. i want to make sure i understood you, what were the numbers or did you say from, say the numbers again? cuz truly could have gone up as much as i think i just heard. well, yes it did. if you're looking at a, over the past 5 years, yes, it has gone up greatly and again, many people are civil servants. they built pretty much on the same salaries they've
7:38 am
been earning. and even if it has increased, so has the inflation. so has the devaluation of the signals pounds, when you look at their salaries, many people and less than a $100.00 a month. and that money that they and they have to use it to put they children in school to feed them, closed them. if you take them to the hospital, they, the public transports, that they need to move around. so all of that on just like a monthly income for many people that it's very hard to live by. and when you have kids to feed, you have to choose about, well, what, what you, what you can get you on something that's nutritious, would learn something that's affordable to keep their bellies full at a terrible choice to make our, our shot. what's it like right now trying to run a human turn agency there and sit on i think it up like it's 1st of all we need to appreciate what, what he was saying about the current situation and saddam. so there are multiple factors which have impacted the what else would security situation, which is listening. we have the conflict in multiple parts of the country. we have
7:39 am
different players have said the prices are inflation going to skyrocketing, the seasonal impact of the strip on, on the security situation in the country is also was from the situation. considering 95 percent of the household spend more than 60 pounds per 5 percent of the total expenditure on food. even a slight increase in the food prices will have significant impact. and that's according to the food program. now, us as it seems, we are dealing with massively increasing needs in the country across everywhere. and with the very limited resources, we normally talk about the income to situation. we always talk about what the responsible, if the government is, i think while not discussing the rationals behind the suspension of international id. i think the impact of suspension of international id is very,
7:40 am
very severe. on the, on the people listed on the people in general, not done. and that's something we need to appreciate and kind of find a solution. how to, how do we get the international community to agree to continue supporting the people that are going forward. our shot to be cleared the suspension of international aid. is that because the military coup, as i said, like, definitely the political decisions made by, by, by the international community. but the impact of those political scenes is now showing on the people of sudan. there are like around 20000000 people up to like exactly 11700000 people are going to go out into the un assessment which are not having access to before they need that quarter of the population. so while i'm not a political, campbell commented overture that we can talk about what the rationales were for suspension of it. the situation demands that the intellectual community needs to
7:41 am
consider that people and children also don, needs that internationally as soon as possible. i look, i want to know for our viewers that all 3 of our gas to actually based on saddam. but we also have a handful of video comments from people's in sudan as well. so i want to share this one. this is much to me of dollar. he's a youth advocate with unicef, sudan, saddam almost 7000000 children out of the school due to the diversity council on displacement more over 3000000 children. undefined are acutely my nurse because of an instability. many people are resorting to legal immigration, and many boys end up implicated in groups. you must not do acting sorted and not lose upcoming generation. now hey, can you tell us what you're hearing from families from mothers who are on the ground they're trying to survive?
7:42 am
to see you because of the we have to talk politics when we are talking about hunger about lives, about education that cut of the human period. it ah, is actually the outcome of his invalidity. oh ah, what we are hearing is actually reflecting zach z report that is coming and alarming us about a very bad situation. and outcome is that the apple ford does hunger and even the dish because of the for me now is getting more and more worse. and we have to add that that we are pretty good situation. not only is with them, but is there. eagle knows it is floods or for free keys and nicholas coming to so then odds at egan is actually ready for a value. but that so dan, i asked that as
7:43 am
a whole is different from saddam before why we were we were going actively towards m. m economic, her florida. she. now we are her much more back and seems is getting worse and worse. this is what we can summarize from their families and from individuals from their kidding and what is reflecting directly on his account. so i wanna bring in some voices from are you to body and seizure voices from you? people who are watching live right now are isabel lobby says heart breaking missy billy says the things we take for granted ah, further down. so i think k begins 978 says give them food, you know, arshad, it's not just that simple. is it? give them food, where does the food come from?
7:44 am
it's so very good question which you said like so nice. economy is highly dependent on every culture. as nearly 65 percent of the population is engaged in it. and prices for granted in port have risen dramatically due to the inflation, the non crisis, and the international factor such as the the board and you clean. so this has very severely impacted on the overall, as i said before, 40 could of the situation, but i think for the price is a fuel fertilizers, agriculture tools, and electricity prices are going up. and this has a knock on effect on the inflation. and definitely the significant increases, as he bought, mentioned earlier on the most of the basic commodities such as transport, dish and any other service you talk about. and this results into the it is equal to cost of the inputs for our local production. so there are multiple factors which we took them to good and you mentioned the number of lead on to 1000000 children are fish, like you kinda know, facing
7:45 am
a cute malnourishment out of 6800000 children in the same age group. but about we are, we are not feeding about 4000000 cases of under 5 children and potentially getting mother. they are also a estimated to be acute, managed and in need of like our journey community lifesaving nutrition services. so as i said before, while completely not commenting on the political or what the rationale behind the suspension, i think i'll reiterate the same point again. i mean, it didn't, it is not like there is a minute in it. i think that there is need for much more as you asked me before. what is it like working as a human to do to implement this country and that's exactly. it means we have very, very limited resources. we have gigantic news in the country and increasing as well . we've lost have a for a minute, but we haven't lost a good reporting. i want to bring in another thing because you mentioned the coup. it's been brought up a couple of times. right? but the, what's happening ukraine has been mentioned, i think is climate change. also a play here. there's been massive flooding
7:46 am
a sedan lately. here. let's look at her book report on the flooding in the southern state of dar for checked us out. this is the road to m zayed village, south of south dar forest capital mia. now it's one of the latest villages to be affected by heavy rains and flash floods into dam. many are now living out in the open lay. what little of the i tell them will i sca sir, we have seriously been affected? my house was damaged all the furniture was damaged and carried away by the water. this room is now completely destroyed. well that all my beds are broken. all my jerry chance have been carried away by the stream. i didn't manage to recover anything and now we settled the washer now. so now he that the mother was saying that the flood had really broken her birth, taken away everything in her home. what kind of access does she have to help you could see a young child binder. she clearly has others to provide for work. where can she turn to oneself door for?
7:47 am
i'm is i was there for her, or does it is also linked to zam climate. again, but i know that linked to that bad planning, and that was a quarter auction, or even the aides that are brought to job a needy once big themes office, our floods actually is a resort both of what option i would like. also to see is that these have been in magazine or is there a medium so dynamic in many areas as a security or set of intervene and he stopped many, o ha, initiate the of school support r i e need the pearsons and victims or was a floods in many areas in sudan, and they think that it is important that they're adding to these sir natural crises. and there are still being on their problems with the cut scenes,
7:48 am
a humanitarian it also we had there here a problem or was a failure of their aggregate center or the la garza season deal to czar looked problems. it nomic problems, problems or fla, ah, planning for herb sion and or lack of institutions after that, after as a or with can says out, it is not government, even. it is something that cannot be called or said it is. so there are always actually ruining what are i'm building is there fact there is 4 more are more crises, mainly hunger. and for me is an, are shot. i was reading something from yourself. there were saying, i want to quote this. it says a routine immunization is declining amsterdam between 20192021. the number of children who have not received a single dose of life saving vaccines as double. so basically saying like the half
7:49 am
the half the kids are now getting vaccines that used to just 2 years ago or so what's happening with that? so i'll court the, what we call the e p. i or the expanded program for on immunization. as a friend of november, it indicated that 84 percent children under the age of one year received their 3rd those of combined vaccine with a dropout of our own people. some compared to the 1st those are present. so that's, that's the units of report on quoting, and so do 78 percent of the children received mutual recognition in 2021 which was the rise from the 2 years earlier. but because of the budget gas and again, immunization service delivery, which was identified in 2021 as of a there were multiple factors which affected what units of escorting which is glen c. d valuation. and also the move action coverage because of that in the 1st off of
7:50 am
the 2021 was like which was from 68 was from a drop off like from 80 percent, 84 percent to and i think that they were challenges which will corporate also kind of like affected the vaccination. so do they musician situation so yeah, it's definitely worrying situation, but yeah that's, that's, that's what i see on this one lack of access. i think that's another issue. and i, when i say lack of access, it's not that we have been denied access. what is the insecurity or, or the situation where we don't have resources to meet some of the demands that's i want to bring in another voice here. and then as a i sat there for the 1st time in. so then he city as a government ah, ah. and now is looking careless for getting their
7:51 am
routine vaccination. this is happening for the fittest. time is for dan, his 30 and now hospital. her family needs to have to pay for the billing to be vaccine ah vaccinated. and of course, this is her within the pictures that there is, there is all of that as a factor. so we'll go to the awareness problem and the axis, the work scene amps, problems. so now we, it will be more and more orse. i'm going to bring in another voices from our community. his name is mercer abdullah, a da hardy, and he's a children rights activist. and my albany is there's so many reasons. dad says so many sit and he's children. i missed glass or even drove out of the school before that inflation or hanger crisis affecting. and they can re ah, while our government keeps talking about for you and occasion opportunities. you
7:52 am
lucky children with good access to good. i school and they don't have necessary resources. so i'd like to make a turn here towards the end of the show, although i'm see are shot. you want to jump into the conversation. what go for that? i think it was something that i wanted to mention oh, some of a figure which again a, as i was captain mentioning about the international lack of international support at the moment in 2019 the government contributed 35 percent of the vaccination goes of the board and rushing it as it in 2021 was a little that shows are that the limited resources government has and that's why i keep on saying international community needs to step up and continue supporting the i'll, i'll, i'll probably start to get as, i'm sorry. and i know i'm repeating it, but that's, that's extremely important that the message goes out international 20. so the news people and children new dot, supported at this point of time. i and i,
7:53 am
if we're talking about the children of sudan and their future, i'd like to talk about their educational opportunities. i have has also done some reporting on that. so i'd like to share this package with, with you guys now. xena a but that it is helping her son ahmad get ready to start the school year. he was due to start his 6th grade more than a week ago will authentic at the latter monopoly at this 3rd of the school year has been postponed. 3 times. this year that 1st we were told it would start in september and then we were told the 2nd of october, then they told us this week that it would be the 9th of october for education has not been stable. and that has led to our kids not being stable either is one children's education keeps being interrupted. first corvette than mass protests, and now flooding, which destroyed more than 60 schools. here. little schools that were untouched by the flooding are now used as shelters by families who lost their homes.
7:54 am
so i just wanna bring in a couple of voices from you to business grayson, a dairy, who says a choice. our children are vulnerable and most marginalized in society. and now they're facing malnutrition. ah, and we have him on the phone here, but can you hear me? oh no, he was here. it was back. hey, how are you? welcome to the last few minutes of the show. thanks. we've been sharing your reporting. we actually just shared the package about the mom trying to get her child back in school. can you talk to me about the struggle that families have there with getting the children in the school? well, it's mostly again the economy. now. that's just one of the families we spoke to in catholic instances. there were other families who we spoke to and they say that the issues with regards to getting their children in school are the fees and we're talking about something bad or some people may be symbolic, you know, it could be less than $10.00 to afford close afford book, but for many people again, if you're earning less than $100.00 a month,
7:55 am
that it's just too much so many families can't afford to pay for school books. they can't afford to pay for clothes. then there's the issue of school lunches. they have to get sandwiches for the children to be able to see themselves when they're at school. and for a lot of families, that's a little bit too much so many families, even if they do manage to get better in the 1st year of education and schooling system, they just can't continue to keep them in that system because it's getting to expect . and so what they prefer to do, especially for the boy, is to pull them out of school, have them work in the market to help the family with their income. because for them, the priority is keeping the family bed as opposed to, you know, spending money to keep their children born. yeah. so we only have a few minutes left in the show and i want to get to what the international community needs to do. i'm going to bring in another voice from our community. this is jaida doin mckenna, she's a ceo of mercy cor. we urgently need global
7:56 am
donors to step up with nutrition, health and humanitarian assistance for sudan. and fact, the current appeal for sudan is only 40 percent, find it. in addition, we will need to help communities cope with recurring climate shocks by doing things such as helping them per to, to protect glades at grazing, land and water resources. this will be critical going forward. so arshad, she said in that the that the, the need is only 40 percent funded the internationally for sir dan, 40 percent funded. what does that me and do? does that number ring church in your, for your organization? say the children and what is 40 percent made like what, what can not do because you're only at 40 percent. so yeah, that excites 40 percent of the overall image and response plan which was developed for 2022 is a funded which means that another 6 did as
7:57 am
a 60 percent gap in terms of the actual funding requested for implementing some emergency above that community. and implementation. so i think what that means is that there are gaps still left and most importantly i think the 2 sectors which always get ignored is education and protection. and i'll, i'll specifically mentioned education as one of the lease broader days sector, which is not getting the attention of the international community. he bought mentioned the baltic nomic barriers internally, the 50 by push of the schools charging fi details. incentives that are like did introduce household purchasing pause due to the inflation. cultural barriers including shy label, had been and kept going to support their bed and said the harvesting season. but also as we spoke about the poor nutrition and health situation that also is impacting the will education situation. so i think we need to deal with education about jesse because this will, if we are not addressing the situation immediately in our sean,
7:58 am
it's so hard to deal with the future when you have to tree on the that the crisis that's right in front of you and that price, it is happening sedan as we speak, that all the time we have for it to day show. i want to think all of our guest for joining us. i want to thank you for watching the stream and of course our desert english will continue to follow sir dan, in the months and years ahead. ah, western libya is home to libby as berber people, the m a z scattered across the fuser mountains. our old amazon cities like this
