now as you said helicopters have been able to reach places like dongola have they been able to give an assessment of what exactly is the situation there. well we know for sure from the pictures of the local t.v. we're seeing after destruction in the ground of dongola we haven't seen any report any official report from the red cross in terms of the extent of damage also assessment report in terms of in terms of the car in the destruction that happening in dongola we do know for sure looking from the pictures coming up from local t.v. that's minutes to go to dongola that along the coast it's been a scene of utter destruction we seen pictures of of. total destruction of how the ten buildings. that's mostly on the coast now dongle i thought that the capital of the city center of the is mostly on the. it's mostly on the coastline which is of course another thing which of course is a very worrying. fact given the fact that we haven't heard any official information. so a lot of questions now being being raised. challenges faced by emergency officials why is it taking so long to respond. if th

in terms of situation from dongola we just had a major development that out of the eight hundred thirty two number for the death toll eleven of those actually coming from the city of tonkawa now the figure is coming from the indonesian brass cross with earlier two helicopters with medical supplies and emergency needs now however at this moment we don't know to what extent of a more clear picture we don't know what we don't have a mockery of pictures from dongola now the military as of this morning has been redeploying some of their personas to dongola but we have yet to receive any word of information whether the military personnel have actually respond are not now earlier the disaster and the national disaster agency spokesperson saying insisted that up until today until now they're still receive no official information in terms of casualties. and damage accept for the ones that they received from the indonesian red cross so yes the latest situation is in the nation emergency of rescue officials are still struggling to reach the hardest hit areas particularly in bangalore where the sec
