hip morgans in the cities capital cotton forest. so the w p saying it's going to begin again. what do we read into that hipaa? while it gives the reflection of the people's needs here on the ground as fighting continues in the capital, hard to and tens of thousands continue to cross the border of hard to say either 2 neighboring states, which is now taking a burden of thousands of people arriving every day, with no place to sleep, no food for them being distributed by 8 or conditions, or people crossing the border into neighboring countries and yet to receive any humanitarian assistance. the response from the united nations and other 8 organizations have been low, but they say that's because of the security situation. and because of the many bureaucratic processes that they have to go through along the board, for example, many people say that they're waiting for days with no proper assistance. many people say that the medical assistance especially, has been short for those who have diseases like the beatles and cancer and that there should be some kind of 8 organization providing for the people. but there
12:03 pm
isn't any at the moment. but then even before the fighting, thought that people are between the rapid support, 4th of amber for denise army, 15000000 people in put down were in need of 8. and that's a 3rd of the population. that number is likely or has already increased, simplifies and thought that more than 2 weeks ago. and so it looked like organizations at least such as the w b or the red cross are trying to provide what assistance they can not necessarily in the capital, hard to. but other states where there are people who have fled from the capital. so have, i was just mentioned a moment ago that this sci fi been extended again for another 72 hours to people there. get the sense that this extension is actually going to make any difference to them. people here and what it'll no longer listen to the words ceasefire or pay attention to it would they're focusing on is the brief loves and fighting between the iris f embassy, denise army, for them to be able to leave the capital or to try to get out of their homes to get basic necessities. just a few minutes ago,
12:04 pm
we were able to hear loud explosions and heavy artillery around the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general command of the army. that's been the scene of intense fighting between the rapid support forces. because the army wants to regain control of the presidential palace, which is right now under the control of the rapid support forces. and just over an hour ago, we spoke to a resident of cheberra that's in the southern parts of the capitol, hot tomb. and while we were speaking to them, basically we were able to hear the sounds of artillery in the background. so there they could also witness fighting between the r s f and the sidney's army. other parts of the capital have been relatively calm, but people say that that's not because of the ceasefire. they no longer want to see if that's going to play out on the ground or not. what they're waiting to see is that brief flows of fighting for them to be able to tend to their basic needs if they're able to her. but thank you very much. and how does huber morgan bring you sub today from khartoum? while the fighting and sedans interrupting the sold goods to neighboring countries in chad, food prices are going up. now for more than this, we're going to bring in ahmed address, who's in adrien chad,
12:05 pm
near the border with sudan, what have people been telling you about how they've been effective for the conflict? and saddam sh ah, desperation is the word. in fact, says people fleeing from the completion, sudan come into virtually nothing here. this is also our region that is witnessing a lot of problems united nations children fun in particular says cases of mother krishna. hi, in this region and was carrying 40 years its being experienced. things can only get worse here and in other parts of ours chart where the wire residues are coming in large numbers. now, when we spoke to a lot of people, residents of this part of charge in these to fossil john, they telling us food has become so expensive such that many families cannot afford to eat 3 times. in a day. at emmy bry him to heb has come to our dre market to buy
12:06 pm
groceries only to discover. he can't afford many of them. now, he says his family must adjust a little older. i in love with the latter one. previously, we could afford 3 to 4 meals a day that was not any more lacking, has the eating twice a day. these days is difficult because food has become so expensive. the village of address is an important trading point. but the fighting across a boarding sudan has changed everything for many people here. while there has been a steady stream of refugees at this crossing point interested chide, the flow of goods have been severely disrupted. fighting has almost cut off this side of lun. lock chide from sudanese sports that supply many of the imports it needs. the shot i had is i saw the refugee and trader who brought his stock with him. explains why things can only get worse in the coming out of the land. and unless the prices have gone up because airstrikes hit our main goods depot. in
12:07 pm
cartoon, the road is close to transporting any goods is very difficult. anyone with stock will now try to sell at a higher price. beckett address market vendor struggle to find buyers for items that only a few can afford. well, most of that is a little more of, you know, going on. 100 in the business is slow, but we're grateful. local authority, say prices, especially food items of risen by up to 70 percent in a matter of weeks and that the government is looking for solutions. planning to subsidize some goods. it's an additional burden on a country where millions of people already struggling to put foot on the table. now basically, the situation on the ground is becoming more and more difficult as we continue to see the flow of refugees into eastern parts of charred yesterday. for example, 70 people drove into our dre. we don't know how much more have stopped at the
12:08 pm
border. this latest arrivals were actually i 650 sudanese, and 20 indians who escape the recent fighting in the town of janina which is the capital of west africa. what they're telling us is of the situation there is desperate people have left that area and have gone farther inland towards her tomb while fighting is intense simply because they cannot access this way to eastern part of child for safety. so that's the situation right now, and then because of the current situation on the ground, people living out there in the open, no tents for them, no food, no water and medical services are really, really scanty on the field. these will add to the existing problems here on the ground as more and more if you just cross the border interest and part of charge on it is in charge. and thank you for refugees. it also streaming to south sedan, panama, tulsa, has more from the capital, juba, well, the influx,
12:09 pm
the people coming in to south to donna's putting lot of pressure unscathed resources here fell to that and had his own crisis. there still violence in some parts of the country and agencies say there's not enough money to help everybody. so what local business are doing, at least here in tuba, they are pulling the resources together. so you see in the shop they are collecting food and medicines and me this for the suppliers have been taken to the local airport. they put on to cargo plans and take them to the border with sedan. tell people who are still stuck. the south to dine has a very close relationship with saddam. this used to be one country until south to die broke away from sudan in 2011 and gained independence for the 2 countries to work together. president, solving here, thousands of leader says that he has close ties with all the military factions in saddam. he says he's talking to all the players every day on the telephone. he's trying to get them to come here to do a tough face to face. talk time in the conflict in saddam, but right now,
12:10 pm
of course the concern is that people trying to come into the country, most of them are from south to dad's when they get here. they say with family and friends, those who have nowhere else to go probably end up at the many cows. what is lace people scattered across the country? it is a huge crisis for this country with limited resources as more and more people keep flooding in. well, let's bring it in, sorry, my daughter who's relatives are in ports, shouldn't struggling to make it back to the u. k. she's joining us from london. very good to have you with us. what kind of problems are they facing? solid. thank you for having me. so basically, i have a 3 year old cousin who's for tish national. she's a sudanese national. they're refusing to let them on the plane wishes. departing at 12 o'clock. she's severely sick. she's supposed to have the tom to light this surgery due to it getting infected, but of course, with the boy got cancelled. she's been in agony screaming since yesterday. so she has to get on this plane bus leaving and like an hour and a half. and the thing at 1st they told her that she could go on her own,
12:11 pm
but the mom can not go because she doesn't have a visa, which is absolutely ridiculous. this is a life or death situation. if an infection spreads through your body and you get steps as you will die, so are they willing to let a 3 year old child die border because the mom doesn't have a visa, whole family has a british possible except for the mom. got it. can you, can you tell me who it is that is preventing her from getting on the flight? so there is a, there's a registration of this on the corals hotel, the british called senate office over there that telling her and even me i've spoken to the helpline, the crisis help lying in a foreign offices. they've told me the mom can't get on see possibly can't get on. it's due to the people on the base, the people that are picking him up at discretion to let her on or not. and i think that's absolutely heartbreaking. where is the humanity in this? she's sick, he's 3 years old and she always, he needs her mom who she's, she's dependent on. she's been in agony shivering and screaming since yesterday.
12:12 pm
she's a child's. are they? they're not believe i'm. are they, they're on their own. are there are any other family members around them? completely on the own past boxes here in the u. k. with their other 2 kids and the old british, it's just the mom that doesn't have the birthday citizenship. are they getting any help from any aid agencies or anybody else at all in port? sit on? no. not what kind of conditions are they telling you that they're facing in port sedan at the moment? at to be honest, i've had really quick phone calls with them, and it's all been about cousin sam marine who's really sick. like the mo, the mom is worried. she says she was even willing to let her daughter on the fly on her own. so she could get some medical help, she needs to have a surgery, aysa. that's how desperate she is. and they said, and then they changed their mind and they said, she's a minor, we can not let her on. you have to get the shit. so you, so that willing to let
12:13 pm
a 3 year old die basically, if they're suggesting that forgive me for interrupting you and i do understand, of course, this is very distressing for you. if they're suggesting that the, the 3 year old tell me the name, forgive me of tell me the name of the 3 year old. first of all, you miss stammering. sa, marine. can you tell me yet? they have said that the summary and her mother should go on board a ship as opposed to going on a plane. is that actually an option for them? can they make their way to the port and get on board one of the ships? i'm the store reason of heard of british nationals and american nationals. they have not even been able to build these planes. i mean the ships because there's so much racism at the border that only taking people who are either white or either saudi or from other nationalities even that is a struggle. people have slept over at the border in dia, conditions. these, these people are getting treated like they're going on holiday. these people are ex
12:14 pm
escaping law. the houses had been bombed. this must be playing on this michael economy to help. and i again, i apologize for interrupting you, but this must be praying so much on the minds of her mother. can you describe to us the kind of state of mind that her mother is in the moment the mother countrymen speak, she is so heartbroken because she thinks that the british would at least help her child. when i spoke to someone on the phone through the crisis health plan, and when my, when, when her husband spoke to someone, they just hung up on him. when he said my child might die. and she said, how do you say that she hung up on him? we had to get hold of someone who's a humanitarian, a student needs go who help this could me or is there any reason why i'm on the 0 right now that the hell has been, there's no help. the mom is actually feeling really helpless. i'm probably the only
12:15 pm
person that can speak clear english and for to represent them. it's really sad like nobody, nobody is listening to them. everyone's giving her different information at the border. i can imagine that you are just one of many sudanese families who are in the u. k. who are facing a similar situation. do you know if there's any sort of support network or anything for families who are in similar situations to yours? if there is any want, sorry i'm, i was wondering if there are any support networks in the u. k. that you're aware of who might be able to help families who are in situations like the one you're facing . i mean, other than the crisis helpline we, we haven't really had much, you know, contact we haven't had any number suggested to us. the community, the city means community has had to come together and share resources. and some people like me, has helped me get on a 0 right now. she's been the only person that kind of could take us through the
12:16 pm
law and all that right. the eligibility for a british person is that the spouse or children are allowed to come with them. but when it's a child with a parent, it doesn't, it doesn't apply, which doesn't make sense. just very briefly, what is your next move or if indeed you feel that you have one from the situation that you are facing now? well we really have an hour left to this other plane to come an hour and a half. and if they don't get on this in, i don't know what's going to happen. like it's really scary to even think about it that they won't take her on this thing. because if she even gets the shit by the time she even gets to saudi arabia, it will be really late. and she's already severely sick. like she's a 3 year old child. where is the massey, wesley humanity, selling woodall. we appreciate your being with us on our da 0. thank you very much
