hello again or welcome to spotlight the interview show on our i'm al green up and today my guest on the show is going to show you how you got the u.n. security council adopted a resolution allowing the use of force to protect libyan civilians from their own leadership headed by mark after the international coalition is that bombing the military infrastructure belonging to colonel qaddafi force but hasn't any call think it's civilians who suffer so what is the humanitarian situation and the want the country now there's a director of the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs in geneva currently focusing on libya but i should highlight. the un

mandated operation in libya those air strikes were down direct intervention but even this has been harshly criticized by many arab countries and by some members of the u.n. security council itself their argument is the strikes have caused civilian casualties the situation is deteriorating according to the statistics of the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs and with three hundred thousand people have fled the country since the civil war again the lack of basics in the continental damaged infrastructure would cause a humanitarian catastrophe. a helicopter welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much good morning i'm happy to be with you first of all you are in geneva today but most of you just came back from cairo where most of your staff is situated today why in highroad why not in libya itself.

united nations evacuated all international staff from the end of february. because of security concerns there are certain internal protocols that require united nations staff to be out of the country and this is what happened at the end of february in cairo just because the communications are good there and we have a regional office in cairo it's temporary think. i don't know how long it will last but as i've heard how it is today but as far as i understand the international committee of the red cross returned to benghazi to resume its humanitarian work are you planning to follow the suit international committee of the red cross had been in the eastern part of the country. the united nations launched the needs assessment to eastern part of the country including benghazi that took place maybe three weeks ago. of course we are considering all options however for the united

nations to be back in any part of libya you have to do first the security assessment which is being prepared now and of course we have to go and see with our own eyes because there is no international presence inside the country that's why information that is coming from various sources or second or third hand you visited the egypt libya and border recently where you obtained first time in accounts from people fleeing the violence what's your impression is there a risk of a major humanitarian catastrophe. i i think we have to be prepared for all eventualities we have to sort of a situation very closely. there more than three hundred twenty thousand people cross the borders of libya with tunisia egypt i'll geria. and sudan my mostly the two countries egypt and tunisia and they get local and central

authorities of these governments who are extremely corporate different generous hosting migrant workers from their own countries as well as. national some of the third countries that then were for then they left their temporary places where they found themselves on the tunisian and egyptian side of the border most of them left . you know they want humanitarian catastrophe is something that describes something over enormous proportion which has not happened yet in classical terms however we are extremely concerned about the situation of civilians who find themselves in the middle of crossfire inside libya well the latest u.n. report says that more than a thousand people remain stand it at the libyan borders with tunisia and egypt are they still there and why is this happening. i do not know

anything about people being stranded with the on the egyptians. gyptian border with libya i think the border crossing in salome's opened for the libyan side and it's not much difficulty to to enter the country from egyptian side. and i don't have their most recent figures but they went down to about two three thousand people a day more than fifty percent of them libyans i know that it was much more difficult on the western side of the border that the government. is not encouraging people to leave the country anymore in a sense that people got stranded there but i cannot verify this information because if anything happens it happens inside libya where we do not have international presence can you tell us how has the number of refugees changed and has it changed since the international coalition forces started their strike against libyan

government forces. you know first i wanted to clarify who are refugees and migrant workers and where it's a huge difference in legal terms and in legal status of these people and one has to take this into consideration i would say the number of libyans as a majority who cross the border with egypt. was probably steadily increasing they were in the majority for the last ten days or so there was quite a number of quite a serious increase. that happened on saturday however one has to take into account that most of the people were coming from areas around. and i think. which is. probably around six hundred plus kilometers of drive so the numbers that show up on the border have any more impact of the

developments inside this these places and one can see that the libyans are coming because they flee as they feel in secure and his equally unsafe in these places. mr holic of most of the refugees from libya came to tunis here and egypt as small a number found refuge you know jeery in nigeria and sudan are all these refugees receiving assistance from the international community are you monitoring this situation so we have one thing situation very clearly i wanted to clarify again that they're not necessarily refugees they're migrant workers we can and this is. their man in the working age mostly that is very different from the normal group of refugees that includes quite a big proportion of women and children and elderly they are mostly

men of the working age i would not say hundred percent because they. no such i think. and they are nationals of tunisia and egypt as well as nationals of of the third countries and internationalization for migration and the office of the high commissioner for refugees the fantastic job together with governments of two countries of egypt and tunisia as well as countries of origin of these people to help them to go back to their own countries which they didn't know in instances on the saloon crossing the border crossing point north and egypt they are still plus two thousand charge against. stranded there who are living in very difficult conditions and i think efforts were made by our army by internationalization immigration and the office of the high commission for refugees together with the government of child to help them to go back to their country what engine what are

the conditions of the refugees and the migrants i'll be careful count in the countries neighboring with libya. the assistance is provided to them in terms of. food and water some shelter materials will ship been. there one has to take into account that both governments wanted to avoid the situation that it is long term and migrant workers wanted to continue to their places of origin as quickly as possible some of them do not have travel documents so embassies of their countries have to help out the international organizations who are working on the creation of these people so that they will be on the plane with their travel documents and will not be having any problem when they arrive to their countries of origin and unfortunately takes time and also these. places that are not necessarily very close to. two border crossing points so you have to

find. planes that will. ensure the existence of a bridge and it takes time. how heavy is the burden of those migrants and refugees for the governments of egypt and tunisia don't they themselves need international assistance. i would say that both governments their authorities in capitals and local authorities were showing example to the rest of the world how you deal with a situation when it's not easy for yourselves internally but they were very generous very hospitable and i i could see only one case in siloam but i got reports from tunisian side of the border that the local communities were also very generous in supporting those who had to flee because of insecurity

and of course there are concerns that. that these governments have a presence of forty years on their soil so close or even those who do not belong to local communities because they would create additional strain to social services or local communities and also create a quite a huge drain for local authorities however they're managing so far and the international community is there to help says he's in contact with our studio from geneva switzerland spotlighted will be back in a moment stay with us. in cannes and the u.s. is that it is legal for. a bubble bath here baby they contain a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shanties nothing

different they are sponsored by in the streets and most of the time they don't claim a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god nobody with cancer in my family therefore protected forms because ninety to ninety five percent of cancers were among people with health. the history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. and members of congress.

would be so much brighter if you mean the moon and sun from finance to pressurize. skull totty dot com. hungry for the false look we've got it's. the biggest issues get the cuban voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back to spotlight i'm all going off in just a reminder that my guest today on the show is holic of the director of the u.n. office for the carbonation of humanitarian affairs in geneva he is currently focusing on libya he and the staff at his office not situated but situated in cairo

because there are problems accessing libya itself for united nations organization we have been discussing the situation with refugees and migrants the humanitarian situation and mr minister holic of you have mentioned the nationals the migrants there lots the workers the people who were were living and working and living and now they're fully. well the non libyan refugees from rich countries have been helped out by their governments but the people from poor nations like for example bungler there were abandoned what's happening to them now are they able to return to their homeland. i cannot see that all of them have been returned by this issue of it turning over. nationals of asia and sub-saharan african countries has been addressed urgently the flights have been

arranged by the office of the high commissioner for refugees and internationalization for migration maybe in the reverse order however some of them are still in the. areas close to the border on the egyptian side intermissions side and i would say that situation may be not as critical as it had been ten fifteen days ago. they are moving out and every effort has been made to help them to move out and charter planes at some point it was a feeling that the commercial planes will be enough after a message from a question that took place however now i understand that internationally dish for migration and office for. office of high commissioner for refugees are again chartering flights chartering planes to ensure that they will be able to evacuate people from the better side well and most of the foreign workers who have to leave

libya these days they are from areas with severe unemployment situation so there is an interesting maybe an interesting twist to this problem how will the return of these people change the social situation in their own countries of course it is source of great concern that they are returning many of the migrant workers are returning to the areas. which do not have developed social services and that we have quite serious. seriously high rates of unemployment and also one has to take into account that their families or their friends or whoever they're supporting also. a lost source of income. since this migrant workers had to leave. leave yeah. that is creating various situations in the countries of origin of these migrant workers and united nations is working

closely with the governments and provincial local authorities to see war what impact it will have and how it can be addressed this specific situations at the same time one has to be there in mind the attitude of the local community so that we will not on the guy's them singling out some of the people who are returned and the while the international community was not helping the local community in the first place started all of a sudden very much concerned about the situation there when there was an influx of migrant workers so it is a very delicate issue and some studies have already taken place in egypt i'm sure they have taken place in other in other countries as well the e.u. countries are seriously concerned about the possibility of existence from libya especially the talents are there justified grounds for sanctions. i cannot say that the grounds are justified or not because seriously the

situation is very fluid and very unpredictable and that is one of the main features of the situation that. change so quickly that it's difficult to plan in advance for more than a day or two. of course europe is very close to a levy and a lot of people came from africa according to some reports and waiting for an opportunity to go as refugees to european countries or asylum seekers it has not happened yet in huge numbers whether it will happen or not very difficult to say. some conditions have to fall in place to allow this to happen which again has not happened yet can you tell us if somebody in libya inside libya is somebody there impeding the u.n. humanitarian organization from carrying out your duties there are a number of things that have to be addressed one is for the united nations

humanitarian organizations to perform their duties to implement their mandates it's absolutely critical to have free and unimpeded access to various parts of the countries. and see with their own eyes suffering of civilians so that they will be able to design their response appropriately and that should be based on the needs of the affected population. there is active warfare taking place in some parts of the country. and that's why it's. something that has to be addressed also there are some reports about civilian suffering in some parts of the country that has to be verified and assistance has to be provided to these people and protection has to be provided to these people because civilians actually are not trained to leave when the as owns of conflict

and makes a serious psychological trauma to them they do not go into the streets they stay a code and many other things may happen and the economic and social functioning of this system is also disrupted by the ongoing conflict that has to be addressed i would say that it in that sense humanitarian organizations feel very very much restricted in in the possibility of their performance inside libya and i should do you in geneva have any information on the number of casualties resulting from the history of these between government forces and the rebels because they did because the numbers we hear here in moscow are different a lot depending on the source. i would not go into speculation about numbers because it's secondhand information and whatever the u.n. says about the numbers and then becomes incredibly formal and. as if information is very fired where very much concern that the ongoing conflict doesn't

respect the need to protect civilians and we wanted to. make sure that civilians are not affected by this therefore any use of force as a means to find a political solution to the problem is the price that civilians use to pay and we are committed in relation to the u.n. very much against it ok but can we be sure at least that the people wounded in libya that the people that are suffering are getting access to adequate medical support. i don't think we can be sure of anything at this point because as i told you information we received is second or third hand it's very difficult to verify and this information is coming. from politically sometimes politically motivated forces so i don't think we can be sure

of anything apart from the fact that civilian population is suffering. how heavy is the destruction of destruction of houses destruction of infrastructure is other cities where people are living with civilly as are still living today despite what are they still livable but this is again as i told you we have no international presence and we have to be very mindful of the national staff of the united nations organizations in in libya we should not put them on harm's way and i think that is . very consciously made decision there are some reports about the damage that was made to some houses and buildings in the towns where. active warfare took place and you know when active military conflict takes place between the rebels and the government it's always something

that makes an impact on civilian population and this is what i would want to reduce so that civilian population will have access to protection and to before the trials and other services that have to be provided to the population anyway. the regional flash appeal for the libyan crisis which requested more than one hundred sixty million dollars is sixty two point four percent funded for how soon will it be funded completely and who are the main their neighbors. i'm not able to say when it will be fully funded and normally flesh appeals are issued to within three to five days after a disaster takes place or after requirements are. recognised as being overwhelmingly big. i would say that so far at least organizations

internationalization for migration and office of the high commissioner for refugees are saying that the funding that was put in the field request for funding. is quite generous they however it appears that they will need more money to. to help people one would say that the flesh appeal was based on the scenario of four hundred thousand people crossing the border as i told you more than three hundred twenty thousand already did so and it was also based on the assumption that they may be internal displacement of up to six hundred thousand people which i am not sure we have anybody feibel information to confirm that internal displacement is taking place in a large scale thank you thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest on the show today was. director of the u.n. office for the coronation of humanitarian affairs and geneva currently focusing on

libya and that's it for now from all of us here spotlight will be back with more until then stay and party and taking.
