Hello to you, Arno, thank you for speaking to Paris, direct. We're beginning to have an understanding yet of just the full scale of disaster
0:22
I can't hear a word, but it seems to be my turn to speak
0:26
I'm wondering, Arno, yeah, just the full scale of disaster. I can tell you about the situation in Myanmar
0:34
Your pictures were quite telling. We see devastated communities across the country
0:41
hundreds of injured, people displaced, people in fear of getting back to their houses that are damaged
0:49
as well as roads and facility. I think the impact on populations is even stronger
0:56
because they are dealing with an existing, of conflict and violence that already had a large impact on essential services, access to health
1:08
that is now becoming even more critical. As for the international community of the Red Cross, we work together with the Myanmar Red Cross Society
1:17
and all partners from the Red Cross Red Cross Red President movement to assisting those most affected
1:23
We've sent a team from Yangon in a convoy to Mandalay, one of the most affected city in the center
1:29
of the country. And it's important for us to have all access or access to all areas, including those that
1:37
are a bit remote. You see the numbers of... Trouble there with a connection in Myanmar
1:47
We'll try to reestablish that later on the day here in Paris direct
