00:00Right. And in this context, with war raging on and neither side showing any signs of backing down,
00:07how difficult and how dangerous is it for humanitarian operations to be carried out?
00:11We have to remember that the El Fasher itself and the surrounding area was besieged for over 500 days already.
00:19And it has been extremely difficult for humanitarian workers to move around and get in the humanitarian aid to those people in need.
00:26And now more than ever that with the communication cut off from El Fasher and it's become extremely difficult and dangerous for humanitarian workers as well as a civilian who is seeking safety.
00:37And we are seeing a lot of the children, women, elderly arriving in Tawila town, 50 kilometers from El Fasher, completely marnourished, completely traumatized.
00:47So it shows that that the month of not getting any humanitarian aid make a civilian suffering for the month.
01:00Right. And just really to remind our viewers, I mean, two two weeks ago, the rapid support forces captured El Fasher.
01:07That was the last stronghold that the army had in Western Darfur.
01:11And then there were, of course, those shocking reports of violence in El Fasher.
01:17I mean, are you saying that with communications cut off, we don't really have a clear picture of what the humanitarian situation is like there in El Fasher?
01:25Unfortunately not. We are hearing we're we're hearing that those displaced population arriving in in the nearest town, Tawila, including Tawila,
01:34saying that there is a lot of people who are still trapped, especially those disabled population as well as elderly who cannot escape from from the violence immediately.
01:46So they are looking for those people who are trapped in the city.
01:51And then we don't even know that how many people are actually trapped in the city.
01:55And with no communication and with no humanitarian aid getting in, the situation in El Fasher will go as catastrophic as possible.
