nations so the united nations doing its best but it doesn't have enough for it enough funds to provide the assistance needed a lot of people here say that they were not given any money to buy fuel for heating so they're bracing for even more harsher conditions in the days to come according to their knighted nation seventy thousand people are at risk because of the weather conditions forty thousand of them are children and that is because they live in shelters and sites that are prone to flooding and in sites that are in danger of collapse because of heavy snowfall well we. look at what's in store for the region with it's not looking good as it's not looking good particular for the next twenty four to thirty hours because of the storm that's behind me which we're going to detail is still going to be a problem as well as temperatures are going to be dropping across this region over the next few days so let's go into right now here's the storm system and you can see all the clouds making their way across the eastern part of the mediterranean now we have been seeing these storms go through
