a tore through muslim beak the government has confirmed that the death toll has reached forty one by that number is expected to rise many parts of muslim baek in assessable with remote areas and small islands still waiting for aid supplies our correspondent travel to evil an island in the north of the country that was especially hard hit. we are onboard an eight flight headed towards the vacation island of now for the first time we get an aerial view of the massive destruction up till now flights 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. and now we're about to land on the island of e-books 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 shamu rai for days she has been trying to bring order to the chaos. he. moaned warming 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. in you are god to but they don't feel the wind was so incredibly strong that it ripped away nearly everything we lost everything that we don't have anything to you know

new but. 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 it. 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. we. nearly everyone who lives here has found their way of life ripped away from them most of them are fishermen but many boards 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 hit. the fewer tells on the island were also hard hit it might be a while before that your wrists return. most parts of the bore are completely destroyed it looks as a bulldozer drove over this little city here

a lot of people have no places 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 is slowly running out they still have some fruit and vegetables but is only enough for one meal a day but shamu right tries to stay optimistic nonetheless she wants her children to know that one way or another she will make things work. that reporters by deed of use are doing. if government was on top of relief efforts. 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 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 on a three did four in west africa she visit there german troops in mali before traveling on to the jazz on wednesday she promised close to seventeen million euros supports big enough for us to expand its capacity of the police and yeah equipment the aid is to support economic development and help fight terrorism.

the north of mali for instance in the past six years has been under regular attacks there's led to a humanitarian crisis hundreds of thousands of people no longer have access to health care and education schools and tejas tucked and threatened. i 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 little holland is nonetheless glad she can attend school after years of living in a refugee camp. that i 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 men with. lolla is lucky unicef estimates that around two million children in mali are not going to school i girls

in particular miss out as they're often expected to help out at home and married off at a young age. nearby is one of timbuktu's few medical centers. mother and baby visiting hours are always over crowded with infants suffering from disease and minority and. the crisis in northern mali and years of war and terror a taking their toll. unicef has supported health care centers and money for years despite the difficult situation and. 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 and nutritional condition. unicef says ten percent of children here are

acutely undernourished around ninety percent of timbuktu's 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. for them and it was a gosselin 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 ones to heap more pressure on

the military to hand over power to civilians this is after the african union gave the military sixty more days but is changed to happen but many sudanese fear the military intends to hold on to power or keep much of our buses region intact for testers in the hundreds of thousands continue to march on the streets of the competence to demanding the change the crave need of use many corrupt 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 of the nasty in his mother's who kind they mean can enjoy a coffee together again with ease but to get here dictated to have to be ousted bridging a rift between two generations since the beginning of the sudanese uprising nearly four months ago nineteen year old mousavi has been protesting on the streets of. he did so against his mother's will show i was trying to go to 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 money for. a good that he had in the struggle to achieve this change dozens of people have been killed who subs mother begged him to stay at home own safety. cough cough. i would be very afraid because i did not know what would happen to him i never knew if he would come back safe or as a dead body so i can't describe it with those of us i think with negotiations between protest leaders and the military council on the way and violence on the streets of siding so kind as relieved and has given her blessing for most up to join the protests. what the young people have done i'm led to temptation and there will power this was completely unexpected is that people believe it was just an

aimless generation. the years leading the protest have in fact never known any other reality than life and that i would share 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 sound this is not his real name he travelled from the distant province of four to join. uprising and asked us to hide his face because he fears retribution from his father that it was not as if. when he found out i was protesting he stopped speaking to me. and 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 he and missteps he signs if they can change the mindset of their opponents through the act of 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 and they says symon a vision of what they want the homeland to become a democratic free and increase its you've done the going to the right. that's it for now from the news africa you can catch all austar these on our website on facebook page we need you now with more pictures of sudanese protest as in the streets. i found out.
