11:19 am
homes and the un says 50000 sudanese, applied the fighting for neighboring countries, more than 75000 people to be forced out of their homes, but they remain in the sudan. foreign governments are evacuating their citizens by air, land, and sea. okay, let's bring an amity drink, who's at a refugee camp in audrey in chad. i'm a down here in the program. you were reporting to us from a cap, a co, freund in chad. what said like where you are now and are people still coming with? exactly. yeah. rob, how we were in california yesterday and late in the evening, we moved to a new camp, set up a park from the initial owner. we were reported all these days and that there were more people about 5000 had already arrived and we met some are you and agencies distributing foot staff to those people,
11:20 am
5000 in one particular camp. and they're telling us that are more people trying to cross over into is to charge for safety. now, with a situation there is still desperate. more than 2 weeks after the arrival of the 1st group of refugees into china, there is no single apartment in structure, nor tent has been erected in these camps. people are living out there in the open. the lucky ones will get a shade and our tree and try to put together some form of shelter for members of the families, but they're still exposed to the range. most of these shelters i'm talking about are made of tweaks and grass and that can not be able to withstand the harshest winds that blow across that region. so that's a situation there. no food or little food, little water, and basically access to medicine has become so much a problem in all the camps and other places where the refugees are putting up at the moment. as i mentioned before, i'm at the, the un was saying about 50000 cities of flight over the border to try to escape the
11:21 am

11:22 am
dr. why we reported earlier, but so thousands of inhabitants move across the driver. but into chad, we were told by a local residence that one of the local millions just responsible for some of the violence in the past 20 years had come to town. although they didn't do anything there, but definitely that gave them a cause for concern that that shouldn't be going back anytime soon. and thank you very much. need is out of the, just talking to us from a refugee camp in audrey in chad protested. and israel, or keeping up the pressure and the prime minister to abandon his planned overhaul of the legal system. thousands have taken to the streets for the 17th week, but he soon survived arrested. several protesters after the block, the main highway and human netanyahu put his plans on hold a month ago, but no agreements been reached parliament reconvenes later on sunday, bahama jam. june has more from the protest and television. all the demonstrators
