the irc international rescue - might be lacking? the irc- international rescue committee but we are deeply concerned that other crises involving tens of millions of people are frankly been ignored at the moment. we'vejust published our emergency watchlist, looking at the top 20 crises of the coming year, based on 65 quantitative and qualitative indicators and it's actually sudan that is number one on the list, 25 million people in medicine area need, eight out of the top ten crises of 2024 that we forecast are in africa and in total about 260 million people are covered by those 20 countries in humanitarian aid sol those 20 countries in humanitarian aid so i think there is a real necessity obviously to do justice to the crisis in gaza, the ongoing war in ukraine, but i would plead that we don't forget about these other crises as well because what we do know is that when humanitarian aid is neglected, that leads to further political instability. you mentioned the african continent there. your organisation emphasises that conflict and climate change are increasingly convergi

a promise of in das is where the international rescue committee joins us from cairo. welcome to the w. i of investigate here we. i can hear you are very ready. all right, so that we don't have vision yet, but will pile all day. you are welcome. we see you now, how safe all these safe zones at israel has designated no good to be honest, there is no. there are no storms in news or and that we are talking about. well, what i need to highlight and to verify is that the zones that have been the marked on the kids that have been given instructions to move to these jobs. but on the wrong book, the actually see is that when people have actually been asked to move, uh there have been adults coming to the, to the central entities. i've been part of the dresser. but people who i initially told that they would be safe. so even after having both that there are, there are the products that are taking place and the people st very little. but i know fred and completely unsafe. also these, you might have different organizations that are working in these so called safe zones are, are c

obviously, there is some international rescue committee who work for the lot, and that watch was onef the things that have been highlighted, and we are just coming off the latest global climate conference. something i spent a lot of time thinking about and sort of really worries me is when you look at immigration politics right now, in your country as well as ours, in the uk, the u.s., and really across the world, you see a rise of extremely -- demagogic anti, refugee anti -- in a world it is about to experience mass location -- >> you're right to use the phrase climate crisis. it's a climate crisis, but we are serving in places like sudan at the moment. the critical thing to understand, and this is why our report today is called facts not mitts, it is a myth that america, britain, and you are taking the most refugees. on the 20 countries we highlight are caught up in conflict, 80% of refugees are in poor countries not rich countries. refugees from sudan are going to south sudan or chad, very poor countries themselves. what i think -- >> this is such an important point. >> the wester

we have an international rescue committee incident but also in chan -- chad and south sudan.ith all the talk of refugee crises in america and europe the refugees from sudan are in poor countries like south sit on and like chad as well. the sudan case shows how international actors are supporting rebel groups or government side in a conflict that seems to be without end and it obviously has these terrible historic echoes as well. you referred to malnutrition and i think rightly your viewers will be shocked to know that today 35 million children under the age of five years old are acutely malnourished in the world and 80% of them are not getting the help they need. that is the kind of work that international humanitarian organizations try to do every day and why we need to be able to garner the support to be able to do it. >> well, your teams are heroic. david miliband, thank you. >> thank you. ticking on donald trump i will talk to new hampshire governor, a high profile supporter of nikki haley on his candidate chances in the state and beyond. you are watching andrea mitchell
