important because of its oil but despite that much of the old city of was doing still lies in ruins and amidst the rubble they asked if corpses did the obvious your father of the karim has been speaking to aid workers in was the word and sent us this exclusive report be fixated some of the more disturbing images in his story . the smell of death is everywhere old mosul is like an open air symmetry nearly a year after the battle between the so-called islamic state and iraqi troops and corpses still fill the streets we meet me the young nurse has volunteered to help remove the bodies. and this old house in this room we found one hundred fifty corpses they were all shot in the hand hold here yes. the stench is hard to take it first your nostrils chill now because we took away

all a body instead we burned the room and to sanitize it but how did they all say that . they were let out one on top of the other man the women and children. but there are still bones here general i was stuck to the blankets. anyone passing by can see the corpses under the rubble. that's without bodies. a girl's hair still stuck to her abaya. the volunteers have removed one thousand three hundred fifty bodies so far. the old city in mosul was and i as stronghold sometimes they also find dead fighters. they. can mess with isis was responsible for your sister's death correct the one initially and today you are removing the bodies of some of their fighters what goes

through your mind when you do this. you know this is their place this is where they deserve to end up ahead of i lost my sister and she has a grave i can visit her to find his remains and that without a grave the fact that i get to remove their bodies is my greatest revenge fighting them with a weapon is exactly what they want they want us to be inhumane they want us to fight each other. it's life threatening work for the volunteers there could be unexploded bombs anywhere. why don't you wait till the area secure lot and then remove the bodies here we're not security officials many times nobody wants to do this and no one wants to come here. families can't identify their loved ones because of the lack of forensic medicine. because it has to how do you make people hunting for their relatives and i've seen women all the men who come looking

for their dead children they say their children died here but they're not sure if this is the exact place because everything's been obliterated. what shocks you about all of this is the bodies of women children. others may even mall is that no one asks about them not even the government. three thousand people remain missing their bodies likely somewhere here beneath the rubble. today not to guatemala the dead still are from the country's devastating volcano eruption has risen to sixty nine authorities warned that the number is likely to rise as rescue workers continue to search for the missing. oil for kindle fire erupted on sunday it's one of central america's most active volcanoes but this was its biggest eruption in more than four decades. the

country's president jimmy what alice has declared a state of emergency and court for three days of national mourning. for everyone. amid the tragedy there are moments like this. you and i baby pulled alive from the wreck of a mountainside home and i know. they order colleagues to come over to share in a moment that makes this complex rescue effort all worthwhile. you know you go on whatever you are aware of but i guess. this is a risky operation more eruptions could happen at any time rescuers are having to tread quickly and carefully over still smoldering terrain. the weather could also hinder their efforts in what is a race against time. spec that during the next five days it will rain harder which could become a problem. if. there's

a danger of mudslides because of all the debris from the volcano that's been left in the ravines and the rivers. sunday's eruption caught many by surprise the first explosion was followed by a strong second one people scrambling for cover searing horse hash gas and other deadly peril stay on the mounting a toxic mix that made this eruption particularly dangerous. and this was the grim aftermath of dead bodies so thickly coated with ash they resembled statues in some cases the task of identifying bodies dead or alive almost impossible. one grandchild fifteen and another eight year old. that's what i came to see if i could. oh something oh dear lord i have nothing i don't even have clothes to change into.

a scene from the size of the affected area becomes clear there will be three days of national mourning. the funerals here have already started the charms of finding survivors diminishes there are likely to be many more to come . and for more let me draw in reuben to medal from the international federation of the red cross in geneva mr tomato you until stacia with your teens in guatemala what's the latest on the rescue operation. thank you for giving us the ward situation remains immense critical six hundred of them volunteers from what amount across since the onset since sunday. providing first and psychosocial support and also the starting families so doing family tracing for those or or let's not forget that we have over three thousand people evacuated at

the state and although the damage system needs to be done. we just made that the theaters of damage will be will be increasing will be on the rice from federation for the international federation of the direct cost but when. we are brothers and sisters in what amounted to cross through our you know office in panama that actually also the plowing. the system has been experts to the field to support the forts how difficult is it to reach the areas was defective because a lot of the bases affected us in small villages in remote areas. well our teams are already on the ground in the means with orders to shoot i mean you know it's to support those those people in the back ways and sent us but definitely there are villages that are still of knox's two and just one of their just one of them a concern how to go to

a meeting we ducked or so with other human actors we can dress as national authorities on the system and it's going to reach those people in need and definitely to focus now on life saving activities which is our main concern right now as you said life saving activities is the main concern but as we heard a rain is expected how could that affect kill a search and rescue operations yeah definitely rain will complicate the situation not only hunkering the i'm going to rescue and evacuation activities but let's not forget that that brings us well. risk of must lights that can also worsened the already difficult situation to access those units and tell us more about the priorities how are you helping the people what kind of food and shelter the people are able to get because the pictures we're seeing the scale of devastation is huge . absolutely what amount across open a collection center to gather essential items food water quoth in our main

priority is lifesaving access as we said and death goes with with medical care it does goes with providing a safe cell there to go to has been evacuated and the provision of this award in food which is a need but we must not forget this psychosocial support that needs to be given to those that are currently suffering and also the family tracing i think it is very important to to ensure there to family links and to ensure or are shite to be able to reach those. and who can remember from the international federation of the red cross in geneva thank you very much for talking to you that's been having the up to date with some of the stories making news around the bond the european court of justice is true that the same sex marriage partners off you citizens have the right to live in any member state the case centered on
