7:22 pm
humanitarian, a says and emergency relief says 8 operations off slowly resuming, including in a level homes and at damascus. he says, authorities in syria will help the scale up humanitarian supports. while i'm joins now live by tom fletcher who is the un under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. and he's joining us live from i'm tom, thank you so much for joining us. oh no, just the right you've just been to syria. you could talk us through a picture of what you've just seen on the ground. a well good evening, and thanks for the chance to, to join us. yes, i spent um 4 or 5 days in syria, driving up from the mazda addressing from lebanon, all the way up to bubble. how on the touch each folder. and so i drove through, i spent several nights in damascus. i know i saw homes aleppo, it live, and of course there's enormous destruction along the way you can see the skies of
7:23 pm
over a decade of terrible conflict. but there's also the on the pain and destruction that the destruction of peoples lives, the destruction of the infrastructure. and it's clear that there was a massive project ahead of us who to rebuild. and that project must be lights by syrians, by the story, and people, 7 and 10 syrians need our support right now. and we are determined to be on this side. and to scale out that s a urgently to do that. only 2 things, one access and i discussed with the kids like a government, the needs access to all parts of syria to deliver. and our mission and the other is funding. we need the international community now to mobilize significant resources so that the syrian people can, once again have a whole of security justice opportunity. well tom, we just had a few moments ago from i thought i'll try to who was speaking at, at
7:24 pm
a press briefing, and i'll just read a bit of what he had to say. the economy has been brought to its knees and the the international community must work towards lifting sanctions. sanctions must be lifted and they must be lifted quickly. how crucial is the matter of sanctions in terms of the long time recovery of syria, he was anxious, unable. uh, and uh, as i discussed with uh, asked me to shut on monday night. the key reason for the sanctions is now investigating. now lets exemptions isn't that easy. uh, it's not always something that can happen immediately. for me, the real urgency here is to ensure that low sections are impeding, came out there and support the there was absolute urgency in flooding syria. we've essentially imagined supplies, food was supporting people get their livelihoods, helping people get back to schools, supporting hospitals. you know,
7:25 pm
those are the essentials and i don't want to see sanctions get in the way of the delivery of those. beyond that, these are bigger questions for the international community, but i think that we should judge the new administration by results. and if we can build a genuine polish it that we can see that there is an inclusive government in place . if we can see that the rights of women and girls will be protected inside syria, then i think we can have much more confidence in moving through the gaze on lifting sanctions until meanwhile, as you've been talking about, this is a situation where there is immense insecurity widespread displacement, more than half the population facing displacement within 16000000 people in need of humanitarian assistance. when you have such a large scale of need, where does the international community even begin? of what it costs were they were really we never left even in the most difficult days of the last regime, people with a attempting to get a through those to so badly needed it,
7:26 pm
attempting to build accountability for the crimes that were being committed. so with that, um we're ready to scale up, we've got fantastic teams on the ground. i've been spending the last week with them . what we're looking for is that commitment from the new administration. they will do everything to facilitate those efforts. and then that support from the international community to fund those efforts. but we are ready to go. we have the plans, we have the people and we have the means to deliver and it at the same time, tell him there is this ongoing disclose. we've heard from i had outside of about the coal folk, syrians who left syria, who had to flee their country to return home. in terms of realistically, is syria actually able to welcome these people back, given that resources at this moment ask is it depends on the area. and because i've been in lebanon, jordan, and takia since leaving
7:27 pm
a serious. so i've also spoken to the, for a ministers of those countries about the challenges that face them, including the generosity they've shown to syrian families for so long. it will be hard for me to return home quickly. i saw myself areas completely damaged by the conflict. who was destroyed, whole communities destroyed, but also the challenge of unexploded munitions which will prevent many people returning home quickly. what i know from syrian refugees themselves is they want to go back and i know from talking to the new category administration, they also want to syrians to go back. so i think there is the prospect of that happening, but it must happen in a way which is safe. it must be when the syrian remedies are safe to go home to their communities. again, they can be forced to return home until those conditions are in place. thank you so much, tom. that's tom fletcher who is the un under secretary general for humanitarian. a says joining us from on the demonstrators in sub you all. continuing their

7:30 pm
but also something really good can happen. so we hope that's everything that is happening. i'll come for from the better in october, daniel chapel, the candidates for more than the governing party for lima was declared the winner of the presidential election. opposition parties say vote was raked. the dispute of the election results spot divided protest from opposition supporting the product and stuff like that. the ice very much we have that we have have many cancellations. right now we uh, the occupation is a little bit less than 40 percent, but uh, with no confirmations. yes, because people are still waiting to see if the process continue or not. the security situation is not, it's not very good of mozambique is constitutional counsel is expected to hold on the valid.
