10:06 pm
and then make it to the embassies because they're afraid of being shot or caught in the crossfire and enter the information. and use gathering is obviously very difficult, with people trapped inside their homes. but what you know about how they're coping if you know, supplies running out while was spoken to some residents in the northern parts and the east, some parts of the capital. and they say that they've really lost hope. it's been a days now with no running water in many residential districts, no power, and many of them say that even to try to get to the shops that it's always a risk. and when they do get there, the commodities and the things that they need is not necessarily available in the shops and markets that are open. so many of them say that the focus right now is not on stocking up on basic necessities. they'll try to get where they can to keep them going for a couple of days or so. but they're trying to leave the capital because they're not sure when this fighting is going to and that hope that the 72 hour period the cease fire would hold it. they said if that had happened, that would have given them some hope. but because it didn't because of the

10:08 pm
a big role back then in getting citizens and diplomats out of the country. situation cartoons, obviously very different. it's a long way from the coast, and you have an nikki, raining in the town. so securing that airport and making sure that the wrong way is good enough to allow a military place. and i think it will be a better place to be used in most cases to get people out doing that barrier to number one. so you're going to have to defend here primarily on it. and as your reporters told us, as we know, the airport is not secure right now. no wonder that the americans and others are skeptical about getting their people out right now until and unless that have already secured. well, tens of thousands of sudanese have already fled the country and cross the border into neighboring chad. well, food program says it's expecting the number to significantly rise, potentially up to a 100000 people. as the fighting continues. majority of those arriving a women and children, the cart and sheltering out in the open. people are in dire need of basic
