discovery. documentary. news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes. unveiled destroyed is running out on families are struggling to rescue the last. fall. drew area was also coming out. and said. this is. what. takes

on special meaning against the backdrop of the country's civilian rise. thanks for sharing your time with us the destructive force of cycling is starting to become clear a week after it tore through was on meet the government's band that the death toll has reached forty one but that number is expected to rise many parts of. the bill with remote areas and small islands still waiting for aid supplies. travel to evil an island in the north of the country that was especially hard hit. we are on board in eight flights headed towards the vacation island of evil now for the first time we get an aerial view of the massive destruction up till now floods have

hardly been possible due to the strong rain. i've never seen anything like this there's entire villages that are completely destroyed not a single house standing and if you look at the trees most of them fell down just like toothpicks. now we're about to land on the island of ebook the first aid packages have arrived but this is by far not enough to help out the six thousand people living here. the island has been almost completely destroyed nearly all the houses have been torn down including that of. days she has been trying to bring order to the chaos. warming game in our beds our clothes we have lost everything we are doing our best to put things in order again at least the sun is shining at least dry the few clues

that we have managed to salvage. it has been raining nonstop for nearly the entire week since the cyclon hit shows us her house what is left of it this is where she and her children lived. and you are god too but they don't feel the wind was so incredibly strong that it ripped away nearly everything we lost everything now we don't have anything. i don't know if we will receive any kind of aid but nothing is left i don't have a job or field was destroyed. i am a single mother i have to take care of my children and i have to take care of my parents my mother is sick we have to do our best to make ends meet. if we. nearly everyone who lives here has found their way of life ripped away from them most of them are fishermen but many boats were washed away with the storm

those that remained have to be repaired the mangroves were destroyed as well and the fish disappeared and have not returned since the cycle hits. the few tells on the island we're also hard hit it might be a while before the tourists return. most parts of the war are completely destroyed it looks as a bulldozer drove over this little city here a lot of people have no place to stay anymore so they had to build little shacks like this one but many of told me they don't know how life will continue because they don't have the money to build new houses. and her children can't spend the nights in their own house anymore because the danger of it collapsing on them is too great. so they have to take their only remaining bat and all eight of them sleeping under an improvised roof their food just newly running

out they still have some fruit and vegetables but is only enough for one meal a day but she tries to stay optimistic nonetheless she wants her children to know that one way or another she will make things work. reports by if you don't use. government was on top of belief. well if you have a situation whereby thousands of people in a place like evil still don't receive food aid i don't think you can say the government is on top of it but the president was an evil as well yesterday to iran through a lot of affected areas but now he has to act they can't blame it now on the weather any more that change fortunately now there has to be a quick response but it is also clear that it was a week alone can't do that all on its own it's a relatively poor country and you saw its people back to zero they have to start from zero so that means they need a lot of support not only from their government but also from abroad to the

region now german chancellor angela merkel is only three did four in west africa she visited german troops in mali before traveling on to the jet on wednesday she promised close to seventeen million euros to support speaking of us to expand its capacity of the police and the i couldn't the aid is to support economic development help by terrorism. the north of mali for instance in the past six years has been under regular attacks there's led to eat humanitarian crisis hundreds of thousands of people no longer have access to health care and education schools and tejas talked and threatened. this is city mahmoud school in timbuktu it's one of the few schools still open security concerns have led to the closure of more than eight hundred schools countrywide the remaining ones are filled to overflowing ten year old lala khalid

is nonetheless glad she can attend school after years of living in a refugee camp. that was said there are love timbuktu i like my friends here and i don't have any problems with my schoolmates i love going to school and i like that teaches young limits. lolla is lucky unicef estimates that around two million children in mali are not going to school. girls in particular miss out as they're often expected to help out at home and married off at a young age. nearby as one of timbuktu's few medical centers. mother and baby visiting hours are always over crowded with infants suffering from disease and minorities and. the crisis in northern mali and years of war and terror i taking their toll. unicef is supported health care centers and money for years

despite the difficult situation that. was the beginning of the crisis health centers like this one were attacked and had to shut down then we came back and since then we've seen increasing numbers of children here a lot of mothers are frightened to come here because the streets are still being jewish that's also why there isn't enough to eat and that affects their children's health the nutritional condition and so that's. unicef says ten percent of children here are acutely undernourished around ninety percent of timbuktu as residents live in poverty the lack of security has crippled the economy and infrastructure in the sahara region health care a particular is rare to find as a result. less than half of mali's children have been adequately vaccinated. because the result is an avoidable spread of disease last year we had a measles epidemic despite the fact that there were sufficient supplies of the

vaccine available. but the vaccine simply didn't reach enough people and the security situation in central and northern mali has worsened over the past weeks making it even harder to get help where it's needed. with yet another mass rally sudan's protest movements wants to heap more pressure on the military to hand over parts of millions this is after the african union gave the military sixty more days of this change to happen but many sudanese fear the military intends to hold on to par or keep parts of our buses be intact for testers in the hundreds of thousands continue to march on the streets of the capital hot room demanding the change the crave the interviews many correct about and i am have sent this report on how hopes for revolution affect and family ties. just a few weeks ago this family was deeply divided now most about do not see his mother

so kind they can enjoy coffee together again with ease but to get here dictate to have to be ousted bridging a rift between two generations since the beginning of the sudanese uprising nearly four months ago twenty nine year old new sub has been protesting on the streets of what he did so against his mother's will show i was sort of the heart of the sudanese people are passionate especially the young people respect ruled by this president for thirty years for thirty years we were humiliated the generations before us didn't do anything we realized we had to change something. for. you know i get that here in the struggle to achieve this change dozens of people have been killed on the back to him to stay at home own safety. of course. i would be very afraid because i did not know what happened to him i never

knew if he would come back safe or as a dead body so i can't describe it to those of us i think with negotiations between protest leaders and the military council on the way and violence on the streets subsiding so kind as released and has given her blessing from a stop to join the protests. what the young people have done i'm led to temptation and that will power this was completely unexpected is that people believe they were just an aimless generation. the years leading the protest have in fact never known any other reality than life on the outer shell they have been bold in that elvis and since the dictators for generations old and young have come together in celebration but to some of the people here these revolutionary dreams have come at a possible price. one of them is going to see him this is not his real name he travelled from the distant province of. uprising and asked us to hide his face

because he fears retribution from his father that was that if and. when he found out i was protesting he stopped speaking to me. but i think my parents are loyal to the old regime because they are from a different generation they are slightly fanatical just like the old regime that was so much the same says the kids killed for going against his parents wishes that his sense of duty towards the revolution is stronger both ian said see signs if they can change the mindset of their opponents through the act. i saw it with my own eyes an older man crying to a younger man and saying you were able to do what we could not. the two young men may have different homes to go to but can't the sit in protest in. similar vision of what they want the homeland to become a democratic free and inclusive sudan i'm going to say all right. that's it for now from d.w.
