well, that's why the world health organization is urging richard countries to pulls that plans to give out booster shots. rosalyn jordan reports now from washington, dc. one of the major problems of the cobit pandemic. some countries have more vaccine than they can use. others have none. that's why as covert cases reached 200000000 on wednesday, the u. s. and the world health organization were arguing whether already vaccinated americans and europeans should get booster shots or the w h o wants a moratorium on booster shots through september 30th. that's so poor. countries can vaccinate 10 percent of their citizens. i understand the concern of all government to protect their people from the delta von and but we cannot, and we should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it, while the world's most vulnerable people, remain unprotected white house officials rejected the w h o 's call. we also in this country have enough supply to ensure that every american has access to a vaccine, we will have enough supply to ensure if the d

but it's not just about those supplies and it's not just about the world health organization. all humanitarian agencies are finding a facing the same problem right now, and we need a humanitarian ambridge that's robust and consistent and reliable established as soon as possible. all right. i thought, as we know, it is western forces who control the airport in cobble right now. and definitely the traffic controlling operations. i'm curious to know have you put this request forward to us forces say hey, can we use some of your military planes which are returning empty to carry aid? and if you have what kind of response did you get, what you know, we have been in touch with us already. we have suggested that we look at other options, particularly these on the reports. and is that an acceptable solution for you? it's not acceptable solution for the african people who have these enormous names. i mean, you've got to remember not only are we dealing with a humanitarian crisis on the back of use of conflict, there's a massive drought ongoing right now. of course we have the kinds of

well, i think the world health organization has got a point here. we've got a real in equity in terms of the distribution, the availability of vaccines to populations around the world. and on the face of it, it does seem completely wrong. the country should be starting to use up their vaccine manufacturing capacity to produce booster shots for they already vaccinated when there's such a need for vaccine. i think the other thing that needs to happen is we really do need to make progress on the discussions that have gone on for some months now, but not made enough progress about getting the waiver for the the peyton, for the intellectual property rights in the backseat. so we have enough vaccine making capacity wrong the world to produce a lot more vaccines. but as long as the companies that control the intellectual property rights don't allow other companies to start making the vaccine, we are missing out on a major opportunity to provide many, many more vaccines for the world. and it is, it's a phrase that is often used, but it is never more true th

richard brandon is the regional emergency director of the world health organization. he says, agencies are stepping up the efforts to protect the most vulnerable in the country . we've been saying that the eyes of the world have been been focused on evacuation operation out of couple airport. but what's lost in all of this is even prior to the recent events, afghanistan with the world's 3rd largest humanitarian operation, and now we're seeing those needs escalate. and once the evacuation is completed, we're going to be left with an enormous humanitarian need an enormous humanitarian task. and i think all humanitarian agencies where we've struggled to get aid in over the last couple of weeks, i think from the world health organizations perspective, we have some good news. we're getting some support from the pakistan government right now. but the hard work is, is really just beginning for the humanitarian agencies where very conscious of the vulnerable groups in afghanistan, particularly women and girls and children and their rights. and we will be doing all that we can

first of all, in practical terms for the world health organization that organize this flight because they said they were running low on supplies. so they've had a delivery of supplies. they said at one point that would shut down to just 10 days worth of supplies amidst. what is i a worsening humanitarian crisis. but mazar e sharif is a big city and that all that has a very big, important port which before the collapse of the government had international flights. so 2 weeks on after the collapse, it has got its air traffic control up and running, receiving an international flight, which then does beg the question. could other airports do that? and in particular hearing, cobble in that, it's a slightly different proposition hearing cobble. but once the us leave, they take with them the traffic control capability and the child just tried to restore that, restore that quickly. it's not known. for example, how many air traffic controller of afghans are still here, or how many may have deposited in the chaotic days 2 weeks ago on some of those early evacuation flights. it's understood coun
