very last moment. 0ur corresponded from kabul has the latest. distraught relatives search kabul�*s morgues looking for their loved ones. this baby, you managed to save? but there is another baby? amongst those killed, mohammad niazi, a british afghan who had travelled into kabul from london to try and help his his eldest daughter, youngest child and wife are all still missing. his brother was at the airport alongside him. i saw some small children in the river. it was so bad. it was dark day for us. many of those we meet say their relatives were not killed in the blast but by firing in the confusion afterwards. they believe by foreign soldiers. somehow, i saw an american soldier...
8:03 pm
and beside this, there were turkish soldiers, so the fire comes from the bridges, the towers. from the soldiers? yes, from the soldiers. america's department of defence didn't reply to our request for comment. the suicide bombing claimed by the islamic state group would have ripped through the densely packed crowd, causing panic. the blast has left two—year—old mohammed reza fighting for his life. this looks set to be one of the deadliest incidents ever in this horrific conflict. so many of the victims, those that have worked with the international community. noor mohammad had been employed alongside american forces. the guy has served us army for years. and the reason he lost his life. he wasn't killed by taliban, he wasn't killed by isis, he was killed in the shelling. how can you be sure? because of the bullet.
8:04 pm
the bullet inside of his head, right here, near to his ear. he didn't have, he doesn't have any injury. these are noor mohammad's eight children. he had hoped to give them a better life. instead, this afternoon, they said a final goodbye. those killed in this awful attack were trying to escape years of violence in afghanistan. instead, they became the latest victims in a country torn apart by bloodshed. tens of thousands of people have been flown out of the country but, now, only foreign nationals are being allowed inside the airport. the british government has acknowledged some of those who want to leave will be left behind, like this former interpreter. i think it's not fair. it's like a betrayal of their own heroes. these are the last days of a chaotic evacuation effort. for those that haven't made it out, a deeply uncertain future.
8:05 pm
secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. 0n on top of the chaos in crisis we see around kabul airport humanitarian situation in afghanistan worsening rapidly. united nation aid agencies are warning that they only have a few days of medical supplies last. the world health organization which tells more than 2000 afghan medical facilities says the emergency hospital it supports in kabul is overwhelmed with casualties from yesterday's bombing. the emergency director for the yesterday's bombing. the emergency directorfor the regionjoins yesterday's bombing. the emergency director for the region joins us directorfor the regionjoins us now from cairo. thank you very much for joining us. describejust a would how well equipped and resource to your staff are across the country. we have a large staff across the country. we have a private event presence in all 30 for provinces. we
8:06 pm
are supporting hospitals across the country but our ability to support those help facilities is declining just as the humanitarian needs are really escalating. and this is our biggest challenge right now is trying to get the emerging humanitarian need enter the country. what in particular are you lacking? well, i think yesterday's event really highlighted the needs, we need more trauma supplies. basic hospitals and clinics need essential medicines and supplies. which we have both sets of equipment. we have the essential medicines and supplies, we have the trauma gets in our warehouse in dubai but to date we haven't been able to move them into the country over the last three weeks. and we've been trying every option. weeks. and we've been trying every otion. ~ . . weeks. and we've been trying every otion. ~ ., ., weeks. and we've been trying every otion. ., ., ., , option. what are those logistical challen . es option. what are those logistical challenges and _ option. what are those logistical challenges and how— option. what are those logistical challenges and how do _ option. what are those logistical challenges and how do you - option. what are those logistical challenges and how do you thinkj challenges and how do you think you're going to get around the man?
8:07 pm
firstly, we actually had commercial airlines lined up three weeks ago to bring our supplies in but commercial flights are not currently allowed into kabul. we did try to piggyback on a few of the military flights into kabul airport but there were significant logistical and security concerns there as demonstrated by the events yesterday. 0ver concerns there as demonstrated by the events yesterday. over the last couple days we have developed a new option that we hope will eventuate and we hope that we will have good news and we will be able to ship a large proportion of those supplies and about two or three days. how variable is — and about two or three days. how variable is the _ and about two or three days. how variable is the health infrastructure across afghanistan? i'm imagining that some places will be easier to get services up and running quickly to people than others. ., ., , , running quickly to people than others. , , �* ., others. the good news is we've done an assessment of _ others. the good news is we've done an assessment of around _ others. the good news is we've done an assessment of around 2200 - others. the good news is we've done an assessment of around 2200 helpl an assessment of around 2200 help facilities across the country. we know that around 95 — 97 of those are functioning. but the level of

their functioning are functioning. but the level of theirfunctioning is incredibly their functioning is incredibly durable, theirfunctioning is incredibly durable, as you say. and it's largely based on the availability of medical supplies. and of course those hospitals and clinics in the more remote, rural areas, they are the hardest places to service right now. this is going to be a big challenge notches in the short term but in the long term as well. the health system is really going to take a significant hit because of recent events. and the hard work is really going to begin after august the 31st when a large part of the international community will depart. security is obviously going to be a major concern for you and your staff on the ground. how do you go about making sure you got humanitarian aid corridors? you need the cooperation notches of the taliban but also the other groups that operate in other parts of the country.—
