in 1993 and i are a bomb in belfast. shinkel road killed 9 people. his wife sharon was one of them. we have a relative piece here in this country been on a we don't have reconciliation. we still have shenfield, the d. p at each other's throats. it's very simple. i believe that we need a more kindness and our politics, and i think for far too long, ah bullshit fan, and the dp have only ever really cared about. what matters to them? the big question, they still this, how can republicans and you this somehow accept their respective traditions cultures their identities, when they're synonymous with such a violent history of tuesday, the u. s. president joe biden will be visiting northern ireland. he's known to be concerned about the effects of political instability on the good friday peace agreement. andrew simmons al jazeera belfast ah,

just to look at the main stories have been following the sour and major rescue operation is underway in the mediterranean sea, where the italian coast guard is helping to migrant boats with over a 1000 people on board as one vessel carrying 400 people that to drift between greece and malta, it's been reported that a boat which left from to brook in libya on sunday was then abandoned by the captain. the coast guard is also carrying out a rescue operation on a separate vessel with $800.00 people on board of the coast of syracuse in sicily. pending an official say, the release of top secret military intelligence posted on social media poses a risk to you as security. they say the documents were formatted in a similar fashion to updates given to senior leaders. and some of the images appeared to have been altered or taking this very, very seriously. there is a no excuse for these kinds of documents to be in the public

domain. they don't deserve to be there in the, in the public domain. that is or to be protected, so we're going to get to the bottom of this. and then if there's actions that need to be taken, as we learn more about the extent of what happened here, will obviously take those. and other developments in america, police say the 23 old man that used a rifle to kill full police for people in louisville, kentucky. several others were injured including a police officer. it happened inside a bank building on a main street where police say the gunman was an employee. the gunman was also killed in the shooting, going on a group of his res, including the national security minister of march to legal settlement and the occupied westbank. is a mob been given joined at hundreds of israeli settlers in rallies, supporting legal sacraments in the area. march started 5 kilometers from the palestinian town of ho warren, where the has been a spike and violence between palestinians and israelis. was the headlines you can

always get more information on everything we're covering. of course, on our website, al jazeera dot com. the stream is the program coming up next, asking how humanitarian work as a coping after the earthquakes. what happens in new york has implications all around the world. to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people. the mayor of the city announced that new doing away with the current view that was supposed to get everybody on it's international perspective with the human touch zooming way in, and then pulling back out again with her there. i'm just rushing a welcome to the stream. it's been 2 months since devastating earthquakes and syrian turkey killed more than 50000 people and displaced millions on the front lines of the disaster were humanitarian workers themselves, where they're both living through the trauma and the loss and destruction while

also working to provide life saving support. so today we ask, how are the humana terry workers recovering as they continue to respond? but 1st, let's hear from zara albert rossi, head of research with the syrian legal development program. he had a quick that his this was so intense that no nation could have dealt with on its own. despite based international community provided no support for those in northwest syria. the united nations and the states left the burden completely on 8 workers and 8 volunteers living that individuals who themselves were often victims . some had recently been a homeless, semi gloss, loved ones. what this is meant is that many have not had til today the privilege of the time or the space to be able to process or to more on what happened to them. what happened to their families, and what happened to the communities that they live in. joining us to discuss of

our rodriguez, you in resident coordinator in ankara and marsh sigma. good. now carol manolo director of support to life a humanitarian organization in turkey and with us from amsterdam, sherwin cousin, an officer with doctors without borders. one more seat at the table, of course is you, if you're watching us on you to right now, see the box over there, you get a comment to me and i can get into our guest so that you know, we can do this thing together right now. let me give you an update on this earthquake. it happened early in the morning on february 6th with devastating results. $50000.00 dead of millions displaced. i want to begin with the morrow of our own. can you give us an update here, 2 months on what, where are we with the humanitarian response to this and what's needed most well into care? their responses actually proceeded rather well. it did not face the challenge is that nor than syria faces bad,

but i can speak to about 2 kids. specifically. one of the major challenges really is shelter. we have people staying intense temporary, tam somewhat, but rather well established camps set up by the government. but the reality is that living intense is really only a short term solution. so, to the extent possible, we want to make sure that families, people, that, of course, have gone through an extraordinarily difficult situation, can actually return to the expense it to the extent possible toward normal way of life. and of course, living intent. that camps means that issues related to water, food, sometimes some more complicated. and very importantly, men and women and children are affected in different ways. so we need to make sure that we can provide support to, to the different citizens and refugees from syrian to care based on that needs. they actually feel that for a young child that may have gone through the shock of a lifetime for sure. we need to make sure, for example,

that we have psycho social support that we can get them engage in play and in school to be able to provide you know, at some degree of normal see for them after this terrible tragedy. and that's on the turkey side of the line where they're quick also struck in syria, sherwin i want to ask you for an update on what the humanitarian response in syria is like right now. yeah, thank you. 2 months after their quick actually is facing a double emergency and a double crisis is a crisis of a natural disaster mixed with and manmade disaster. more than 6000 deaths were recorded in city or around 12000 injuries were reported in all parts of their many houses. many accommodation are destroyed infrastructure. he's damaged and miss basic necessities are missing, such as electricity a few for whether for ambulances or facilities or to generate electricity.

unfortunately, 555 medical care facilities, what either partially or fully damaged, which also added another layer of challenges to a response, medically to what's going right now. there are thousands of homeless people more than 180000 people out of this place. they are added to 2800000 internally displaced people in this area in west north where city and they are in basic need for shelter, clean drinking water, well water facilities and. busy heating equipment, especially the weather is still quite difficult. in much only. there were a lot of flood stuff destroyed many tents in more than 22. that comes in with people comes and there is a huge need to escalate and improve the humanitarian response in this area. yeah, and so i, i want to bring in a piece of video. this is from i'm a mood. she is

a rescuer with white helmets. this is what it was like day of precise stillness of almost. so again, i'm not at around $63730.00. we were called in after the collapse of the buildings and the destruction. so we headed to the closest location, which was millis. when we got there, i saw the catastrophe, and i wasn't expecting to see the amount of destruction that i did. when i saw the scenes of the martyrs, the children, the women, all of them under the rebel, i forgot about my family at home. my sister, who i lost touch with and who was in turkey. all i could think about was how can i get the children out if there is someone alive, how can i reach them and get them to the nearest hospital? keith with the most new so so my, here's where i want to really focus in on the point in today's show, in his checking and with the humanitarian workers who both suffered the earthquake, but are also on the front lines of helping other people. can you talk to me about

what it was like for you when it happened and how did you deal with both the personal trauma but also being that 1st line of help for people? hi josh. it has been very, very difficult for us because as a humanitarian organization, ourselves where they are to respond to the needs. but then being affected ourselves has been particularly very, very difficult. this was an area of the earthquake affected area is we had many offices and teams on the ground because as a humanitarian organization, we were responding to the refugee in flux from syria in 2012. so we actually had quite a big program and we had huge teams in the border areas. the, you know, the area that was affected by the earthquake. so we have been affected ourselves. many of our staff were quite a huge organization. we also have a lot of community volunteers, we have volunteer committees in the area, so of

a large number of staff with themselves effected. and it took us a while to recover from that to get back on our feet so that we can actually start planning our, our emergency response, and our humanitarian programming. and that has been a quite, quite a challenge also because of the scale of the disaster. we've never seen a disaster before of, of, of this scale. so we're struggling, but now we have started our operations and we're actually covering a quite a variety of needs in the region. so looking to our youtube audience, we have a number of comments here where sky metal says, i've been so worried about the children, gavin leper says 50000, and that's crazy. how many people were hurt to the point where the life is changed forever. the kids i cannot imagine, it must be akin to war. so sure, when i want to go with you, because not only as a can towards an overlapping war in northern syria there. right. how are people

dealing with both? what happens when this kind of thing happens? where war is already happening. yeah, really a good question. the problem is that city is going into through a manmade emergency. since 12 years we are already in the 13 years of the city and conflict. already many people and we were several times repeatedly displaced to several locations. a lot of them were leaving already in clusters of camps without access to clean drinking water without a decent shelter without an access to the basic services in this area. and what's happened with this earthquake, it's added another layer of challenges on difficulties to these people. what made it even harder is that i would say the disaster of the humanitarian situation in office india. the fact that there are 4400000 people in this area, depending on one human italian access that is connected to turkey. and that he's not even a decent good, a federal assistant to refer people to any other place besides suki. that way,

when the emergency and air great american cities altered by their quick hits the area, we had no defense mechanism. so the people and also the white helmets were the only one, were able to get people out of the debris and the novels for us. it was really a very difficult to see those people who are going through 12 years of misery and entering and you stage and you face of misery. let's not forget 12 years of of, of conflict culverts. clara. busy outbreak and now this emergency it, it resulted from death quick. it's really what we need to really to improve on escalate the humanitarian response in this part of syria has like dantes levels of how like, how many levels are there when you talk about it's a new level of misery. what, what else could happen there? look, i want to bring in another piece of video here. this is who some on the hoss

a researcher positions for human rights for 12 years, asking providers and see, do you have a don't systematic targeting as part of provider strategy, weaponized health care, yet more defeated by the equipment to saving their patients and saving lives. we see medical professionals who refuse to leave the country working time just to support their communities and providing care care. this is what help be at medical leaks. cope with to security threats, lack of resources and unstable it onto an access during my time to you. this is what i currently hear. photos was still on the front line, our service provision, the devastating earthquakes that had celia and to get added it. you burden on health care providers at any country, don't wordpress, who became, or both sides of the equation as to the wireless, as well as service providers. i have talked to many colleagues who are still dedicated to support their communities. and this is what gives them to energy to keep the work that they are doing so far away, that's hearing some of the challenges on the syrian side of the border. what are

some of the biggest challenges on the turkey side of the border and addressing us? yeah, well, let me just comment on syria because sir, like so many humanitarian colleagues. we've seen these things happening in many parts of the world. and on what shocks me, sitting on this side on that they took his side, is that just across a line in that map you see such a different and considerably more difficult situation. but in 2 years, the level of displacement has been tremendous. we've got millions of people that have actually left you earthquake salt for safe areas to be with their relatives or simply out of fear. while you have other people that have had to just set up 10. so even just add some kind of accommodation with plastic sheeting to be able to stay near their houses to see if they can rescue something or near their land or their animals that live if they live in the rural areas. so why not a challenge is that we see as we move, you know,

through this humanitarian face into some form of recovery, which is of course, very possible at doable into here at a very difficult situation. the syria of course, is that we need to restore the livelihood. we need to be able to get people back to again, some degree of normalcy after this terrible tragedy restart the hot only because they 11 provinces that were affected into here half 15000000 people as population. and that includes $1700000.00 refugees. so they need are huge, and we need to be able to restart the economy. and of course continued to provide the social services said more of a normalized way. but as we hope of course, and this, this will happen gradually. dumping their summer and i went, wow, well, i didn't get to add to that and there has been extreme ad trauma and loss in the region as a there's been a need for psycho for psychological 1st aid and also for psychosocial support. and

this is an area that we're working in, i already, prior to the earthquake, and we had a big teams of psychologist social workers, psychosocial support, staff, and we've been able to mobilize them. and this, this has been been great in terms of really covering that need for 1st for psychological wellbeing. also, you know, crisis situations create inequalities and we have a very strong protection focus. so we're looking at children who need specific needs women who have specific needs. you know, going back to routines is great, is a great way of healing. so looking at how we can provide at some of the, some of the, the services, you know, that people, that people are accustomed to, in addition to the economic recovery, which is really helping is, is going to help as we, as we see more and more of an economic recovery people that feel that they are less

in need of aid and going back to, to routines. so i wanted to add that as well. and i want also to add one think actually what they wanted to, i'd actually also is related to the mental health for the human. if they didn't work themselves, they will look at also a part of this population. they are going through the same challenges that this population are going through. that's why it's very important for me to be taken also into consideration in this psycho social support that they, they are able to take care of themselves to stay a life and also to take care of others and to support them. then also it's not easy to be vulnerable and support other vulnerable to be honest. i sure when exactly what i want to talk about, we have a couple of video comments from our community. this is from nebraska hodge honda and who is a humanitarian worker to live. and from stilson odds med who is

a communications manager for the syria relief and development. listen to this and then similar, we're going to come back to you after this for an answer. even before there's a quick, the skills that i'm going to turn in needs here was far beyond the capacity of any single n t o. but agency is operating this region. i have always complimented each other. some of us deliver reputation projects out of the of the clean water and shelter. her agencies are no ordinary local social support, but 1000000 people need the sport and only 24. a psychologist, us are available funding for this need the most people to, to the forefront of the quick response. the impact there is great honor aid workers has really exposed the gaps in humanitarian sector,

ensuring that they're protected in the face of the disaster. this has to include their physical and psychological well being with the amount of trauma that they have endured. we have to make sure that they're getting the support that they need . if they can't take care of themselves, they can't take care of any one else. sama are the people in your organization. the people providing the support. are they getting the psychological, psychosocial help that they need? and if so, what, what is it? if not, what are, what do they need to get? yes, this has been a challenging area for a for us, josh, because you know, as a humanitarian organization, we have the reflex to respond to it to, to cover needs to assist people in any way we can. and we have actually been slow in acknowledging the fact that we need to take care of ourselves 1st before we can, we can help others. i mean, it's 60 days into the earthquake and we've been working day and day out. but now

we're really starting to feel that the heaviness of what we're trying to do, but at the same time, the need to come to, to, you know, take care of ourselves. so this is definitely an area as, as, as you know, management team that we're looking at doing, doing better at how about you so much? are you getting the psychological help that you need? i'm chang, i'm trying dice, and this is something i'm i'm trying to remind myself and also as a late teens, i'm or is it, you're not an area we need to do better at i think you're putting on a brave face and i'm worried that you're not of are over against colonels for sure . yeah, yeah. jump in there. yeah, no, i wanted to jump in because one of the challenges that often has with psychosocial support is that there's some stigma associated with it. more. you're seeing a psychologist, you need help you and not

a stroke as you should be and is very important for everybody thought to recognize that all of us at one point in our career facing difficult situations. and particularly of course, a nation of colleagues that laws, relatives that have relatives that has become disabled. that's a result of the earthquake. you know, you, you need to be able to talk to a professional that can help you manage these things. and then you, then you can recover better, the country needs to recover. but of course you yourself need to recover a 100 percent. and i'll say right now, i'm not in an earthquake zone and i'm in therapy. i'm seeing someone. and so if i'm doing it here in washington, i can't guarantee you, you know, so and who's surviving this there. but our, what i wanted it, that we have some comments from our on youtube audience and someone here robbie bowers is asking about, what are the challenges risk face long term for the theater workers in turkey, syria. what will this mean in terms of, do you run out of supplies? you run out of tense, how do you look at this in more of a years perspective than a day's perspective? yeah,

well one of the challenges all communitarian operations have is set in a world that is so complicated where you have crisis in yemen in parts of africa that war in ukraine. money is finite. and we all competing for these resources, which we believe these people they serve, because this is basic humanity, a basic characteristic of being human beings. but luckily, the cases took care. we are being able to meet most of their requirements, maybe not as fast as we would like to, of course, but things are being supplied efficiently. my concern is what's happening in syria, just as a human being in this planet. that as, as all the colleagues mention, not enough is reaching there, not enough institutions. and they order posts for matt took it to syria to provide the ada, very limited. so you need a lot more. now we have another comment from you to this is m m ron dar?

who says how can people in other parts of the world health, earthquake victims? how can other countries contribute? well, listen them on it right now. oh, don't go now, but go after the show, i'm going to tweet al jazeera has got you covered. we have a whole article with links on, on how you can help. and i'm literally tweeting of my computer now, so you can find that there, but simmer, or let's go back to sherwin actually, cuz i know it's harder to get the aide to syria. what can people around the world do to help their you know, i think this is, this moment is very good. we need to spread the what we need the was to be aware that there is a still a crisis and emergency sit here before the set quick. there was a fatigue of city in years, not he. we couldn't read normally city hours on all the braking use in every channel morales that why i would say arms, actors, other political actors. we're also trying to, to do something in this crisis. but recently, especially since corporate

a lot was stopped. unfortunately, now with earthquake seniors under the lights again and what they want see here, one of the most important thing that everybody should talk about that everybody should communicate about is that the very vulnerable access issue, the access is only through one human, i think, and corridor there are 2 extra been opened in 13 or february, but only for 3 months. that means we have one month left, one month, only one month left. i hope there is a lot of talk going on to extend this humanitarian corridors and not only not for syria. also not the city in all around city, the city and population where that under the dish administration in northeast or northwest or in the government control area, they need the humanitarian support on this axis issue is making it a very difficult but also this area is going through even further because of the lack of safety, lack of security,

that people lost their levels. a lot of people have nothing but more than 12 years . we need to support them to be able to take care of themselves to be able to respond to such an emergency that forbidden if it's happen soon. ok, so i just not 2 minutes left here. what can people do to help the humanitarian providers? not just the people on the ground, but the actual humanitarian providers. is there something that our audience can do? and josh, actually i am. i want to emphasize the fact that there is quite a bit going on outside the formal humanitarian system. you know, turkey has a strong civil society and civic groups, local organizations, a little businesses or private private sector in general. and they have all a mobilize their resources to, to support and, and we, as an organization, we're looking at a community lead action community lead efforts to really recover from what people have lived through. they know they best know, you know what they need and what they need to do to recover. so any kind of

assistance for community lead action is, is the greatest support. jo, this is kind of a specific question and we're down to the final minute the show. but of our i wanted ask you because what we've heard reports of armed groups that have actually been affecting the ability to respond with aid. i, i imagine that must be more in syria, the in turkey, but have you heard about that in turkey as well? we heard of one situation in the southernmost province, that was affect it at effect that very badly hot ty at one point. but dad, in fact they, it at the police and the law and order services it took gear, had been very effective, a container that i'm sure that certainty tensions. but other than that incident than what i, i personally have not heard of anything more in syria. of course, it may be different. well, i want to take this moment to think all of you for being on our show today, because i know that you're busy,

and i know you're doing important work of our osama and sherwin. so thank you for taking time to share this information with our audience. on the stream, and i hope that our audience can actually maybe do something to help you there for everyone. joining us, thank you for watching. we'll see you next on. ah aah! and shears from school children in the island community of east end. the excitement is

over the arrival of their teacher, but n c school been ask is there's only one school in coyote casinos. infancy school is the only teacher. the fact that these children are able to have an education at all the result of years of hard work from the local community here in cairo. sketchy at the store. this year, the u. s. government announced $33000000.00 to increase access to education. part of a broader strategy by the by did administration to address the root causes of migration from central america critics in honduras, however, more than that ramp and government corruption means that foreign assistance too often goes astray. it's the only month of ramadan. near on the dawn, houston the been, you look at cheney mission. she says to do cookie from new zealand to iceland. we explore how muslim minorities cope with the shortest and longest fasting. alice on the planet was actually quite difficult. i did she play 3 food, so water of some days and i will have to add those base to why fast after amada at
