the focus of the red cross internationally shrunk to mobilise the support for the immediate concerns,re search and rescue, trying to get to as many survivors as possible and the first responders of red cross are reaching more and more remote areas of the thankfully, but it really is a race against time. just today, many volu nteers against time. just today, many volunteers found dozens of people who perished in a small village holed up in a church. that is our focus. clearly shifting into medical assistance, but as you have reported, the real focus assistance, but as you have reported, the realfocus on assistance, but as you have reported, the real focus on getting clea n reported, the real focus on getting clean water, getting essential supplies, shelter not only to the major impacted areas, but across the whole region. many of the areas have not reached yet. it is a huge challenge, but of upmost importance immediately. our correspondence have been talking about how hard it is to get heavy lifting equipment in with the roads damaged, lots of volu nteers the roads damaged, lots of vol

just to highlight how critical that is, we depend on red cross -- i know red cross is here somewhere. we depend on you so much and it will take time to get that up and running. thanks, trent, you guys are big players in this. next, we're moving on to fleet week, next week. we're all very excited about it. jill raycroft, go ahead. >> thank you. i think the great theme that we can look at through this is the city and county of san francisco will do fairly well for the first three to four days. after that, we're going to need a lot of help. the efforts at sfo, the work done around yellow command san francisco and region-wide is essential. the work that i do around san francisco fleet week program is looking at that seven-day point. we work with the department of defense in the defense support of civil authorities construct, meaning when we have a federally declared disaster, the department of defense can come up from san diego and assist us. this is the eighth year of our program. it's definitely growth. i've talked to colleagues throughout the country and, you know, very few cities run

the red cross shelter is still open. a lot of people are still inside. they are resting up on the cots and trying to make up for sleep they lost overnight. the red cross workers say they do have lunch on the way. this is very late in the day. a lot of people wanting to go home. this was less than ideal. an estimated 200 bay point residents were sleeping in their cars overnight at the bart station parking lot after being evacuated from their homes. >> the red cross ran out of blankets handing out 150 to people in the cold. workers also had water and coffee available. nothing could take away from the very frightening night for the evaccuees. >> we got out of there. >> i'm cold, hungry and i want to get back in my bed. >> another evacuation acceptabilitier set up at calvary temple church. about 165 people ended up there. some arrived in tears but felt better after being updated. >> we are good. we are good. it could be worse. we are good. thank god for this church. >> they opened up another shelter in pitsburg. >> it is better than, you know, anything else

i think the international community is responding the international federation of red cross red crescent societies along with the indonesian red cross we've launched an appeal are revised an appeal for twenty two million swiss francs. now you are indonesian red cross has been on the ground since the wake of this disaster and we have three ball three hundred volunteers pushing through these affected areas bringing medical care to two villages such as in city we have a mobile. these are the most urgent needs were seeing people who are living outside with no shelter and you know most of the survivors are women and children with broken bones terrible bruises and injuries requiring requiring emergency medical assistance. talking to us lauren go fontayne joiners thank you from geneva thank you. a plenty more ahead on this news hour hoping to convince her party she's got a plan right u.k. prime minister theresa may preparing for a big conference speech. so all that still ahead but first iraq finally has a new prime minister after months of political back and forth former or minister did not hav
