degree. this is a stupid, so the now over to a war torn sudan were 27 people have been killed and more than 100 injured after a market south of cartoon which shelled according to local residents. so, according to report, 6 tank shells were fired from an army controlled area in the sudan. these capital, the local doctors, trade union has warned of a rising death toll due to the inability of the injured true res hospitals.

fighting between rival military factions, a ruptured in the country and early april, and has turned much of the nation into a battle ground. tragically, many children have fallen victim to the conflict as well with at least 60 infants, toddlers, and others died in just 12 denise orphanage. in the past 6 weeks, a warning, some viewers may find the following images disturbing. in this amateur footage, recorded by orphanage employees will body back scatter. the facility and those children are live, are living in a horrid conditions. many, if not all of the children are suffering from mountain nourishment, as well as a variety of other illnesses stemming from a lack of medicine. the youngest of the law slides just 3 months old will guard. meanwhile, the us has impose economic sanctions on sudan, apparently thinking that the best way to help those suffering is to increase the

heats through sanctions, were cutting off the financial flows to both the rapids support forces and disabilities, armed forces, depriving them of resources needed to pay soldiers re arm resupply and wage warrants done. the united states stands on the side of civilians against those who perpetuate violence towards the people of so don, some say that such sanctions will only further destabilize the country. as recent calculations from the united nations show that the nation is in need of over $2600000000.00 to rebuild and recover with only around $350000000.00 having been received. according to the un 18000000 people are in need of aid in the nation. we are joined live by mary louise eagleton, deputy representative of operations at unicef. uh welcome mary. so be you. what is temporarily evacuating itself from sudan?

well, a small number of staff will remain in the country to continue efforts to resolve the conflict. have you been in touch with any of these people? what are they saying about the situation on the grounds? so thanks for having me. i'm currently on the ground and stu done, and ports you down along with them. hundreds of our colleagues who are in locations in the 12 states that we work in across through done the situation for children as is her effect, their 13000000 children in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. they need water and sanitation, they need urgent, urgent health care. we have over 600000 children with severe acute malnutrition who urgently needs treatment and the trauma up as for as having a significant impact on children's mental health and wellbeing and psycho social support and safe spaces are also very,

very critical. now was eunice prepared for this development, or were you completely surprised by this happening in sudan? so even before the current conflict, the situation for children was significant. um and this current conflict that started on the 15th of april i think is the worst worst case scenario. anyone could have dreamed of this level of violence and attacks on, on communities, on children, and especially in the hot spots have cartoon men that are force is really unprecedented. now, as stated earlier, more than 13600000 children are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance in sudan . this is up from nearly 9000000 prior to the war. what are the main problems in providing a to the children at the moment? and how do you manage to solve them? so in the, in the active complex, the ends of khartoum and that there are fours. it's very hard to get age to

communities, even when we had our warehouse in the center of cartoon. we were able to get an emergency health nutrition, water supplies out, but every step is difficult because it's an active complex. i am active horse. and so people are very, very brave heroes on the ground pushing their lives at risk to get those supplies to the people, to the children who need the most in khartoum and in, in the air force also around the country, providing them suppliers we've had over 2500 metric tons of water, health nutrition. so the education and psycho social supports getting out to people and families on the move. but every move is difficult with bureaucratic impediments . i'm on the one hand and also um, active fighting on the other. while you're describing the difficult conditions on the ground, how do you assess global awareness of what is really happening and some of them as

well. i'm grateful to news agencies and the media for getting the word out. it's really, really critical that everyone keeps their eyes on through done. that advocacy across the world's continues to find a permanent ceasefire and stop this. the spiritual war where children are the most um, the, the biggest victims and innocent victims of the fighting. now in terms of helping refugees, what problems this to you on face in hosting refugees and how do you manage to solve these problems? but we have displaced over a 1000000 to space within, through done. and that comes with its own challenges in terms of getting the funding and getting the resources, getting the access to be able to support those displays communities and outside of su donna all across the borders. there, there are there, there's projected to be over

a 1000000 refugees by september by you and hcr. and that means significant assistance and funding for support those refugees who are coming across the boarders. mary louise eagleton, deputy representative of operations at units of thank you. thank you for having me . the 9 people have been killed in central go on thursday during clashes between police and supporters of opposition, leader rosemont his own cool after a court sentence him to 2 years in jail. casting serious doubt on his chances of running for president that's year the the cars and buses were set a light in the capital of the car and disturbances were reported across the country . protesters also set fire to the central university campus and threw rocks at

on do, but what are the inclusion or when you, when i wonder, present security, i mean we build up the big difference. i brush, i'm a dunes. i was a big of what all conflict independence so that is why we work on this initiative. mold of and part is it it my a sand do was full of warm words for the you calling the block: a family as over 40 leaders gathered in moldova to discuss security guarantees in the context of the ukrainian conflict. several of the attendees are waiting to see their aspirations for european membership fulfilled despite facing internal problems, such as corruption and mass anti government protests. the 2nd saw me to of the being political community is a clear expression of our unity stance and determination to act together

as a single family. a family that speaks together, a family that works together to address common issues. this comes as dozens of mold open opposition activists march through the capital of chips, not you. on wednesday, we're in t shirts printed with messages critical of president maya sand. do they accuse the president of silencing the opposition by banning independent media restricting elections and targeting political opposition reports they some active as were from the shore. political party, which san do has sought to ban, are to correspondence, j bows, dixon to how molto was a you aspirations, effect of sovereignty and what the you seeks to gain from its membership. well, here we go again. it looks like you had another incredibly poor and it re just the corrupt, previously ignored eastern european country,

is slowly becoming the darling of the freedom, loving west, that's royce, moldova, a place long rejected as an e, u. member, unmarked, and catastrophic dysfunction and poverty is no apparently brussels best thing plus a next in line for nato wise. ation the message to the people of moldova is that we stand by you. moldova is at the heart of europe, moldova, as europe. and today and tomorrow, the whole of europe as moldova, my final point is about moldova is reforms to advance on the you path. i can clearly see that you are making big progress. our generation has the task to bring moldova, to the european family and to bring the european union home. and dear ursula have full confidence, we will succeed. so is your greeting leaders gathering case, you know, for yet another anti russian p or summit. and bible moved over and probably minister my assigned to will certainly welcome to distraction from her domestic was like she huge anti government protests over rapidly disintegrating society endemic
