Thats right yeah were hearing reports of whats being described as a stampede a the hussein shrine in karbala the authorities rough spots seemingly being quite tight lipped we spoke to a member of the shrine authorities about 50 minutes ago who said that he believed around 7 people have been killed many more in which you know that. Many taken to hospital. That you see Associated Press is quoting a spectacle ministry as saying that around 16 people being killed and also a number of injured. Posts coming through that this happened. As i say as it is difficult to confirm at this stage. This happened as a result of the roof collapsing on an area that was under some sort of constructional renovation inside the shrine and we understand that it was a people underneath who oversee suffered injuries and the deaths of course today one of the biggest days in the she had was with calendar. In karbala trying to we were speaking to was saying that. 3000000 people that come to visit to participate in the annual commemoration there were warnings as well would be her preaching warnings in the build up to this years events that because of the number of people increasing every year it was very difficult to cope and so when she will guarantee safety because of the pressure of all the buzz numbers we know that there are plans for expanding the key area around the shrine in an effort to guarantee safety but it certainly seems as if some of the worst to. Date that the government. Could well have been realized today and with this as a ripple to stampede and these people were killed and injured. Obviously bringing. As many details as we can and in a calm. But its true all right charles well let you go away and gather more information on that foreman charles on the phone with this there on those commemorations of assura in which reports say at least 12 people have been killed in the city of kabul in an apparent stampede. Of violence is causing major problems in part of the west africa hundreds of people have been killed in fighting in bikini fast so thats causing a major food crisis thats affecting nearly one and a half 1000000 people the World Food Program is now warning of what it calls an unprecedented humanitarian emergency as catherine saw reports from northern bikini farmers are banding their crops to escape the violence. Fact that. On a normal day i said to tells us shed be at her family in the village of you to go have children looking after the livestock. But instead theyre not come for displaced people more than 100 kilometers from home alongside many other books who have fled attacks. Villages arrived in january after many were killed in a revenge attack when a rival community blamed them for the matter of a local chief and he signs. They bought into houses and clothes i fled with 6 children their cues does of collaborating with the armed groups from outside the country this is what remains of their village following other attacks more than 200000 people have fled from their homes in parts of the north and east over the last 3 years some blame armed groups in book enough as well as others from neighboring mali for the increasing violence and tensions between rival communities are making the crisis harder to resolve. The wall food program says its a humanitarian emergency. More than a 1000000 people need help we are focused were killed just in the area which is much more civil so we are. Going work that is supposed to be security problem its really hard to imagine the horror some of this displaced people have faced most of them have come here with nothing but the clothes theyre wearing theyre supposed to stop harvesting their crops and by both we talked to said the congo back to their villages to do that because its still too dangerous. And a few others however did manage to return to their village after Government Forces secured the area he still relies on food aid. I have 20 family members to feed through wifes. And grandchildren this food will last for weeks we fled from our home before we could plant because the neighboring the blue village was that we feared would come to war almost next. After a whole days wait starts his long journey back home its 50 kilometers away and hell pass through a dangerous area but he says its a risk hes willing to take to feed his family Katherine Sawyer aljazeera nothing booking a fossil David Bohrman is World Food Program country director he joins us now from what to do in kenya. So we got a sense from that report there of just how acute the situation is. Give us an idea of what your going to zation is is facing there and its efforts to to try to get food to people. Were facing a large upsurge in the number of people whove been displaced and who are in need and this is coinciding with what we call the hunger season here and one stop for car. Its green no but from a sober to may there wasnt any rain it was dry season so people have runs on their stocks and theyre counting on the harvest come in and september october now we have about the latest numbers 280000 people who are who are displaced and our main concern among these is the women and the children because the women displace their kids theyre carrying the baby with them and then they dont find water to drink and therefore the child doesnt doesnt find them out the child becomes malnourished and can become ill and of course when people flee they have nothing with them so eventually theyre there hosted by. Relatives or if they dont have relatives some kind people who take them in and if not to come into some villages or some towns and they stay in the schools thats what were seeing so we as an organization World Food Program our expertise is food and bringing food exactly for this sort of situation were very good at it we have all of our village just 6 set up were currently reaching about 120000 of these displaced people and were increasing our capacity so we reach up to 210000 before the end of the year but the number keeps going up and our. No the next step after feeding the people is that we need to start to help them to take care of themselves and that is find them access to land most of them are farmers get access to the to the land with the local population get them see and schools were working with un food and Agriculture Organization on this and World Food Program together so that when the next harvest comes next year they wont be dependent on us anymore and then he even in the interim period that can do some planting there is some periods of time there some water around that can start some Small Business and start taking care of themselves now of course the ideal is that they go home to where they come from nobody wants to stay away from their home but if they have to stay away from their home for some time or even for some years we need to help them get on their feet and take care of themselves in a dignified way and what sort of assistance all cooperation are you getting at the moment from the government in kenya fassel. Well the government has its own program for providing assistance to to the population and theyre doing that and were doing a harness in parallel so with with our program right now as i said were reaching about 100 20000. 00 people that people who have had to move and then the people who are receiving them theyre also sharing everything that they have and theyre running out of food as well so were looking with some more resources to be able to provide a little bit of assistance to these Host Communities also and then school is going to start up in the month of october so well be providing assistance in these communities in the forms of school meals school meals for the children who with displaced families and also the children from the local Community Says well. In addition well be providing some some nutritional support some specific foods you know the children who are one and 2 years old they cant eat out of food so we need to provide them with some some some types of korean that the mothers can cook that to reinforce with vitamins and minerals so that these children can recover their nutritional half.
