2:03 pm
there was no more the city it'd been raised to the ground. the satellite images revealed just how much was lost in the flooding. this was during a on september 2nd. this is the city of about 80000 people. there are 4 bridges across the wadi during our river, including a main one that we circled here along the waterfront. now, the city looks like this. the river, which is drying for most of the year, overflowed massively and destroyed an entire section of the city. some estimates say that about a quarter to one 3rd of the city has been destroyed both the bridges and the buildings and as you can see, filled as spread all across during a well, malik train of joins us from tripoli mounted that toll is just astonishing its expect is this still rise? it speaks to the scale of this disaster. tell us what's happening in doing or, and whether people are getting emergency help of the well, they are huge amounts of people have been going in on, on the, on a,
2:04 pm
on a, on a regular basis. a given, given the people have done the aid and supplies medicine or water or food. uh so 8 is reaching them. and uh, i just spoke to a government official here not too long ago. and you said since the search and rescue operations started. uh, you know, there's several countries have brought in a search and rescue teams to help the libyans, more than 500 people have been rescue. but we're passing that critical stage more than 72 hours have passed. and this is becoming a recovery operation. it's, you know, by the hour it's looking glimmer and grammar for the chances of finding any survivors a so, so you know, now it's a time of assessing, trying to figure out how many people exactly have been lost. pulling the bodies out of the rubble or the sea, but it's going to take days, weeks,
2:05 pm
perhaps even months to understand of the, the, the impact and the number of people that suffer due to this. what's yeah, malik, i want to take on how the country is very specific. political and security landscape plays into this. but before i come back to you, little bit of recent context. libya plunged into violence in 2011. that's after it's long time leader, warmer gadhafi was toppled since then. it's had to rival administrations in the west. there is the us to recognize government led by prime minister abdul. i mean they but, and tripoli, and it controls these areas on the map in blue, in the east, find me to throw some of them on leads, a rival administration, which is backed by the libyan warlord, felicia hester. he controls the red parts there on the map, the 2 sides completely failed to unify for years. there were elections scheduled for december 2021. that never happened. right. like, let's come back to you. you're coming to us from tripoli, which is in the western part of the country. you told us
2:06 pm
a fact finding mission has left tripoli to go to during a, but that's in the east of the country. how is the east west divide impacting all of this? well, it complicates things significantly so you know, i spoke to the prime minister about 2 days ago and you said he's allocated a budget of void of nearly half more than half of $1000000000.00. the prime minister was, i'm out in the east has also said they've located a budget for, for a, for a, for efforts to rebuild. so i mean, who, who gets the money, who pays? who's gonna, who's gonna rebuild? is it going to be the eastern authorities? is going to be the western authority. it definitely complicates things. but what we're seeing from libyans themselves would have been politically divided for many years. is they're coming together the june of fine in the greece and in there and there. and i'm trying to help other people in eastern libya, specifically the people in government. so, you know, it was
2:07 pm
a catastrophe. it was tragic what happened. but there was a real opportunity here now for libyans, for these political officials, to come together and try to unify the country and help the people in need. malik, as you speak, we're seeing the pictures of the entire neighborhoods in, during are, which were washed away. those pictures still georgia dropping. thank you very much . while the trainer reporting from the libyan capital, tripoli, the in morocco, there had been more aftershocks after last week's devastating earthquake rescue teams. and journalists scrambled to safety on wednesday when they fell tremors in how homes, comments you see the video there. so aid is starting to reach communities in need, but the logistics continue to make that very difficult. villages at the epicenter of the quick happened to be an extremely remote and hard to reach areas. are
2:08 pm
corresponding stephanie decor traveled to the village of chelsea, teen high in the atlas mountains. hughes for report of the driving very try to get to the village has been completely destroyed. so these villages have set up come at the foot of their destroyed village. nobody has any intention of leaving here. um it's so remote that aid is getting here in terms of being delivered. so basically what they're doing is looking to villages that are more accessible or using donkeys and bringing it here. what was the hospitality whiskey of them
2:09 pm
even in times of tragedy? we are offering out the key and not not. so we're being taken into the village. this is uh community that depended on agriculture telling us everything. everything has gone. this village, buried age people, there are advantage of 70 and the destruction is uh it's a month or they are very synchronized. i know this is where i lived with my patents and my mother was in that room. that's where she died along with my wife. and to think that this is one of countless villages in the middle of nowhere, hard to get to. how are they going to rebuild it?
2:10 pm
we just pumped into this gentleman tells us this is a, this is his home up there. okay. the, the, to so it's, i'm heard here and i'm heard here. well, obviously we need to rebuild all of this, but that's only possible it's help comes from uh, it's hard to remove all of this. stephanie decker all g 01015 in the atlas mountains of morocco. and als is 0, is actually on my hill bar is now a field hospital in the town of us. me how some show us around you say this is one of the a full woods and makes its military hospitals. uh, was established right off to the us quake. let me give you a sense of what is happening over here. uh uh, i walked through this place about 4 days ago. and as you can see,
2:11 pm
the number of the patients is sweating for different reasons. because they had a couple of those have been bringing more wounded and injured and those who lost the loved ones, those hold off the homes, are now being moved to temporary shelves as if it's been just a one that has just been brought from this. i'm but it's all the way to the sense. so this is what is happening. the tree has thoughts here. this is the emergency, and then they will decide the way to treat case by case it's done on a daily basis. this is the emergency. they, the doctor is here, operating non stop and they have to look into every single case. and this is one of the cases i was talking about, which has just been a, was brought from the desolate areas that was affected by the as quick. now, there is a surgery ward, which has been established over here. we're talking about an increasing number of
2:12 pm
one that in good patients who have been brought to this facility. why asked the input ticket a for the simple reason that this is a town which is in between in the middle, between the city of barbara cache and they at the center of the great. now the, the most critical cases have to be flown from here. all the way to the city obamacare, but if its, if the if needs be, doctors told me that they are ready to perform the surgery is i'll show you some of these was why the out about us thought the surgery for a pregnant women who it has been pulled from that areas are hoping to solve the surgery. this is the was of this, this is a lot. this is the surgery a block. so this is the facility that has been established by the ministry since the thoughts of they ranked off to the quick to be able to cope with the growing
2:13 pm
number of the people who are likely to further move to this particular location. serial. another aspect of the story is basically most of these people hop in now move to make shift come across this area that has been effected as they move and you're likely to see a growing number of patients moving to this ministry. so this makes it ministry clinic, i shouldn't have to say that by the standards of other natural disasters. this looks like a really sophisticated and will run operation. i appreciate there were 6 days off to the quick now i wonder how the people are actually reaching this, this location of us in the are they being met of backed in, or the driving in? are they coming themselves? how does that work? and so this is what is happening now. you remember the spot where what we're doing lives early in the day when again, which is about 20 minutes, 20 minutes drive from here. that's where the ministry has an ad filled. they do
2:14 pm
have another one hitting us the another one into now these are all towns which are nearby and most of the immediate urgent cases offload from the desolate areas all the way. so these 3 as a defense, all pricing centers where the emergency response teams have been established. these are members of the same families which have been was have lost basically everything. some of them have lost their loved ones, have lost the homes. these are people who have lived in tie, live in villages, passed on top of mountains in the last area. now they've lost everything. and this is that chance. this is all for hope for those people desperate for immediate medical intervention for the time being. and it's extremely
2:15 pm
a delicate operation. it gives you a sense of the complex logistical operation which is on the way you have to fly that cruise all the way to those areas. hope to be able to retrieve people and the one that into helicopters, bring them all the way to these areas and the at bits continues non stop as far as we speak. how's the zeros hashim? i have barbara, thank you for bringing us into this uh, operation of the field hospital in the town of us. me. thank you so much. awesome. it is turned out to bangladesh. a court has found the 2 prominent rights activists has found them guilty after they published a report a decade ago that accused police have extra traditional killings. they've been sentenced to 3 years in prison, and a $100.00 fine officer was tundra of treasury is covering the story for us. he joins us from becca some here. how do you read this sentencing 2 years in
