hundred meters away that's that fence there or this this wall that is the border this is california so they are close and still very very far from their dream to come to the united states. stephens iman's there at the us mexico border in other news the afghan capital kabul has been hit by one of the deadliest attacks in months at least fifty people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up any banqueting hall where islamic scholars were gathered more than eighty others were wounded president called the attack on islamic and unforgivable he's declared a day of mourning for wednesday the taliban says that they were not behind the attack. the familiar sound of sirens in kabul signaling another suicide bomb attack this one being called the deadliest in months it targeted a glitzy wedding and function venue inside dozens of religious scholars were marking the prophet mohammed's birthday what was meant to be

there and roads announced that they will be contributing an additional five hundred million dollars to secure food for millions of this contribution that right and every single day the united nations to see more than eight million we estimate because the country is on the room that we need to reach an additional formula that's twelve million people that will be this contribution will be. on the ground we've heard reports that there just aren't enough facilities though to cope with malnourished children what is the aid the u.n. able to do there at the moment. there's seven million units right now are malnourished and that nearly two million children who are moderately acutely nine years there are severe acute hearse who are providing support to all these children who whole foods and specialist subjects were reaching hundreds of thousands of

children the contributions that receiving from german still focus to reach more were very poor that was we're able to collect that we will that the famine that we could see hundreds of thousands more change in the same situation it's heartbreaking to see these children and we want of course is that all of us i'd like to talk a little bit more about that warning about a looming famine that you mentioned there if there is no break in the fighting is this inevitable what does this picture look like i think that's right i think if we don't see and into this tragic war that this fact will be literally half the population even will be on the periphery of starvation it's a completely unacceptable situation and this is why humanitarians everybody are saying enough is enough this more has to stop we have to help the people who come
