a fool as rough as both as the fighting and how to route to the station. the twins had been born prematurely and were safe and an incubator, but then maternity hospital came under attack. when the bombs started falling at the hospital on april 20, we were told we had to evacuate because no one knew what would happen next. so we scrambled to rescue my 2 babies. there were no ambulances to transport them in one died because of the lack of oxygen tombs medical facilities have been shelled again and again in the week since the conflict began, many medical workers have fled to un estimates. only 16 percent of hospitals in the capital are still fully functional and those which are still open, like every thing, electricity, water, medication, and then as soon as the car stocks of medicine are starting to dwindle,
11:33 pm
if it goes on like this, everything will collapse and a lot of people ask me for medicine, but i can give it to them a month, a fighting has been a never ending stream of severely wounded people. has a he's a hospital is 2 hours outside. talk to him about the homes that come all treats the injured to you every day. like this man, he was shot in the back of the i'm a search and since the beginning of the fighting with we've received suddenly many injured people here. some of them being shocked in the like some of them in the hands and some of them in the stomach. some of them here survive. and some of them on the, fortunately don't receives between 3 and find patients every day. the most dangerous injuries are the gunshots to the stomach. another young man

11:35 pm
or from all this dire situation in sedan. i am pleased to welcome to the w as africa dr. so have now a member of sedans, doctors for human rights, and she joins us now from london. welcome to the program to tell now. now let's just, let's go back to this organization to sedans, doctors for human rights, but you are affiliated with. and you will part of, it's a rallying people around the time of the revolution. what's the organization of, what's the collective doing at the moment with the, with the war? so the initial re, much of the organization was really to luck with colleagues in the diaspora as well as on the ground to provide any show that access to health care was maintained to support our colleagues. that i, as we have gotten into this crisis as of april,
11:36 pm
and this is becoming increasingly difficult because many of our colleagues are unable to go to work simply because the health care facilities have been affected significantly. destination. so we're continuing in our role in advocacy externally added to the provide team policy and ensuring changes that can come into place to ensure that we can deliver that healthcare access to the people, those adults. and what are you hearing about how your colleagues in savannah coping, especially with it, with the fighting and with the limited resources. so it's, it's, it's, it's affecting us on multiple levels. it's affecting us institutional levels affecting assets, social control, and of course of personal levels. so we are struggling huge, see, because the healthcare facilities have been decimated, many health care institutions have been actually brought to the ground. there's
11:37 pm
been extensively tingle medical stools, medical equipment, even better in the boards. this subsidy, a huge box of medication and health care supplies. and indeed multiple uh, groups of health care personnel, not just doctors, but all levels, including all paramedics nations and midwives, have been affected and have been basically put in a situation where they cannot work. why would anyone be suspicious of doctors? is it because of the role they played in the revolution or is they most of it? or yeah, i mean, i think this is a common problem. we've see all over the world of doctors and nurses and health care profession is generally are always there which is called a need when across to sort of more because and therefore their role goes from the neutral role to that, to see why different policies is not being neutral and therefore they do become
11:38 pm
a targeted to some extent, an equity loss of all our brethren were involved in the 2019 revolution in trying to promote a not just a health and safety and access to capital, but also to try and show that the people of saddam got what they needed when they needed it because they always had a very fragile healthcare system. and it was quite important that the doctor stood up for a full for ensuring that that health care system was sustained and maintained during that time. and at the moment, what are the, what am most patients needing, what, what, what do they like? so we can go in so many directions is everything from very simple things like pain relief and t biophysics to diabetic medication kidney medication. particular patients to go to dialysis and then you know,
11:39 pm
young people dying of asthma attacks, which is all good. oh really? because there's no oxygen or medication to help with their asthmatic attack so. so it's everything that is what we was called all routine prism, abrupt but to all the work we we do anyway is don't just been on, on top of that. you've also got all the injuries and the trauma and but not having access to intravenous fluids. so or medication, to help so spacious, or even take the general phrasing seriously to fix the problem that they may have. how can sedans, health look as be supported? bearing in mind, the fighting is still going on some of the, the, the routes to even get to where they are in the, in the line of files. so how can, if, if the international community wanted to support them, how can they do so? so i mean, this is, i think the several factors oversee we need the wall to basically come to a halt. it has to be stopped. we need safety,
11:40 pm
guaranteed for all health care workers and civilians. and we need to ensure that the college goals of peace are, are maintained and sustained and not breached. so that medications and all the health care resources which are arriving at pul saddam, for example, can get from 4th to dogs to the places of need in places like how to undermine by free with the actual war is raging. so actually ensuring those cardoso piece all maintained, ensuring we can get transport cuz at the moment even the, the access to fuel was interesting, cetera is not available. it's all one of those things is the infrastructure has to be put in place. and the only way that can happen effectively is whether we want to come to a store. we go for the best doctor. so how i'll now member of sedans, doctors for human rights. thank you for speaking to us. now on the other side of

11:48 pm
why women play this role and how this had impacted the communities. most of the women were working in the straight women who um, often times you know, we those, or a divorce fees or are there there so, you know, divorced and not living with a male figure in the household. and they have to somehow fix for the family and this business. it's quick to and so you only need somebody to sort of represent you and sort of as a guardian and um, and you have a quick access and its believe us cache, you know, you don't, you don't feel on that because there's always a market a for it so this women, actually, it has the, the called fleet has empowered this women because because giving them opportunity to, to work up a teenager to connect with other women. but also to have some kind of an income where they could at least pre food on the table for their children and,
11:49 pm
and support with schools and, and so forth. but i know the importance component to this study was that the, how women are supporting each other. you know, of these women how small children often times. and there's an absence of a father figure. and they have to really make do with what they have, you know, at their disposal. and oftentimes they don't have a lot of support from society. so they form networks where you will find if a woman has to go somewhere, it will be very easy for how to, you know, speaking this, what's a group and say, you know, hey, i have an appointment this afternoon. i would like somebody to babysit for me or to buy abc d for me, from so on, so of to pick up this or deliver this. this will be the work as a, as a support group, as a group that provides in the old other important services that they will not, that, that they, they cannot find elsewhere. and that's why it's couldn't. it's mainly dominated by
11:50 pm
women because they have the skills that oftentimes men don't have, you know, in terms of being connected in terms of knowing where the big event is happening in terms of working so closely with each other and, and providing safety support system that has been existing for a very long time. and um this women are, are, are, are, you know, the, the, the, are challenges. but you know, it can only can be, they are better off things, but then they will 567 years ago. because the they grow from very low and the higher key to at least some, you know, middle class income situation, if it is so widely accepted as opposed and popular in, in the circles. why is it so controversial at the same time? because it seems people con thing to describe it to determine whether it's a mild stimulant or an actual drug that needs regulation.
11:51 pm
it is a, it is a kind of a, a drug and it has an impact on the human brain. according to research, when consumed in large amounts, um, but other than the medical parts of it, it also has been a, you know, a destructive impact on the, in the family, on the household of these women who are selling this scott. and oftentimes they are, they are living on their own because there's a, uh, sort of, uh, uh, you know, that the family unit is what impact any more because of the fact that men will consume this. ultimately they do, they kind of function well in, in the household in the family unit. and um, uh and, and it has been many studies that hasn't been done, but also this, the federal government to pull and government we, i have lived for many of a, but also by non somalis as to what exactly is the impact of the cops on the
11:52 pm
household of the community, how destructive is it, you know, and they have been, you know, conclusions the, you know, it is a very, um, um, you know, destructive effect to consider in policy making. and the government has tried on a number of occasions to, to, to, to buy need. but it's still, it's still, it's impossible to do so because out is consumed by many people in somalia for different reasons. and it has to be very, very difficult to just stop that because it plays an important role both by the people who are selling it. um, who cannot still disability because they have to make a life fluid. but also may also be the consumers because in places like i had a visa, interested like look at the show or they'll call you and well so, so as well, i mean, they have been, they have been
11:53 pm
a lie or have you brought to us. they have been in ambros. uh, you know, um a demonstration is held by people who are in favor of uh, being made available. uh because that has tried even in gutter with the word like lodge post as of and then with the back tooth. you know, uh, an image of the, you know, the family unit being broken into pieces or something like that. they have tried because in a way of visual language, even to make it possible for people come to read or write to get the point. but they have failed and um, and, and i know 6, there will be any change in the future to, to criminalize or to stop the trade completely. because of the simple fact that it has its place at the very community social level. it plays an important role, but what sarah ahmed cushion of the danish institute for international studies,
11:54 pm
as she mentioned, somalia has tried and failed to band cat despite its destructive impact on families . but many of the countries have outlawed imports of the plant. and this is forced to some farmers in kenya to turn to other crops. a ccnf the phone would be interest to where it used to grow can't. but just increasing numbers of countries found the substance. she realized she needed to find another source of income. a solution with some flowers work. i know when i sold the you can small it headphones can get to have not prompted any of the crow. i chose to begin planting something i was i found an advantage in sunflower there, as it allows me to feed my animal longer. when i make some money from it, i pay for school fees and use the remainder to buy food to 7 pm. i've done this because there's no alternative my piece of land, small equipment doing this, and that's something you can do. another fonda is aya keel. go to continues to grow
11:55 pm
and harvest kept by the but he to say he has had to switch to other crops to survive. not only have traditional export market kind of shut down on. he also has climate change to contend with of the problem. but any way, what it is i a blah, blah, in the olden days, we have reliable rain full. and it was sufficient and that either way, not this has been really queen a mount cat would sustain as well. and so manya was buying alcohol because i, you know, could, uh, did ultimate, now we have a drought and the crops has been affected at, i'm a forcing us to plant vegetables, potatoes, beans, and mays. i'm not combined uh so that we can at least find something to eat because there's a drought soap as a because i so in future it could be down to the creativity
