images coming to us on every hour. it proved terrifically again the vulnerability to natural disasters and you are right, we had things like the earthquake and the enormous tsunami in the boxing day tsunami the important things to support their immediately and reemphasize what they said and save the children. i know the human instinct is to go and buy some nappies and get an old quilt from your house. and thatjust isn t needed. it is difficult to get it there so, if you can afford even £1, that is much more effective than going to the shop and sending supplies. 0ver is me looking at it is that politics appears to be getting in the way thatis appears to be getting in the way that is why these charities are so important. we appear to have added the prioritisation of the rescue
by the earthquake and the first responders who are doing such a valiantjob. the uk, of course, not the only country sending help. injapan rescue teams have also been deployed to turkey. ukraine are sending natural disaster specialists, search dogs, and the us, one of many countries also sending aid. this is a global effort which the uk plays a part. frances read, bbc news. let s talk now with james denselow head of conflict and humanitarian team at save the children uk. this is such a monumental disaster. i know you and your organisation have got huge experience, but it must be logistically a nightmare to try and get help to these people. it is. especially if you consider that some of the turkey was the
