6:04 pm
at least 10 cities in south east amount of tonia. thousands of homes have been left and that death tom keeps rising and harsh. winter with it is making rescue efforts more difficult. at blessing the nation president treasure played one, said the government is doing its best to deal with the situation. to sell all the good things there, billy did it in the turkish armed forces and emergency and disaster authority have been called to the affected areas. our priority is to rescue those and need that a mis 9000 people working. now, in the rescue efforts, all sort alicio in regards to international help and aid. we had contact with other countries. in addition to nato and the usa, there were 45 countries that have offered their home ah, took, it sits on top of a major seismic fault line and is frequently shaken by earthquakes. about 80000 people were killed in quakes that hit a north west in 1999 with
6:05 pm
a history of such natural disasters. many are asking why the country wasn't better prepared to kia and syria where the hardest hit. but the quick was also felt for was the eastern mediterranean, including lebanon, cypress palestine, israel, and as far away as egypt hammered one of the 0. let's now bring and send him, cassandra, she's monitoring developments for us from istanbul, sin m 1st on the death an injury toll as it stands right now after the 2 powerful earthquakes. yes, sir. the 2nd earthquake was as strong as the 1st swan, the rain, and some of the people say it was, they felt a much stronger than the previous one, especially in the cities like mulatto, which is closer to the 2nd epa center of them. and they are saying that they felt that much stronger. we're talking about the vast geography here during we're
6:06 pm
talking about 101510 is since that is some of them are in decent size, then we're talking about at least 10000000, maybe more than 12000000 people who are living in these cities in these areas. so this is a tough task for the turkish authorities and local rescue workers to deal with as millions or outsides. millions have been tested with these 2 earthquakes. and the after show that comes more than a 100 during the day after the 1st, after the 1st shake in the morning. so some of the places we are hearing that the rescue workers haven't even been able to reach out to those places. but call her mom or the epicenter of this earthquake and got down to one of the biggest densities that host millions of people. and also that host the biggest number of
6:07 pm
syrian fuji's those cities have been badly affected. and we are hearing that high is also in bad condition. there are so many buildings that have been collapsed, but we don't have many reports to gording to how, sorry, on top your region. so it is level 4 alarm codes for tooth care that requires international assistance. and we have heard western countries. nathan members, including the united states, great, georgia, verizon, many countries trying to help to keep sending troops or rescue workers medical supplies. also, just 15 ago we heard from the turkish minister turkish presidency. that's russian president vladimir putin called the turkish president and conveyed his condolences about the losses of the earth faith, and he informed turkish president on how his country will assist in the search and rescue operations. throughout the week and in the coming days. and so international
6:08 pm
assistance, especially these days are very important as the 1st 3 days after these earthquakes are critical for the survivors who are trapped under the rebels. yes, and i'm, as you're saying time is of the essence, and we're looking at the light fixture. we were just a moment ago off the, the aftermath of that earthquake, the story buildings. and presumably, we're also hearing that some airports have been closed. some roads have been damaged. so what does this mean for the, for the search and rescue teams who are trying to get to the most affected areas? what are we learning from the authorities about that rescue operation and how it's going welder and took is prone to earthquakes in its history. but this time it is different because 1st the geography that has been hit by this earthquake is very vast. we're talking about a huge amount of people about the big population. and of course,
6:09 pm
the biggest challenge is the when winter conditions throughout the last week through kia has been going through harsh winter conditions, especially in the eastern, on a told, in cities these days, these months are very critical because the snow is having even some, will. it has been difficult the weekend we have been receiving warnings from the disaster management agency that tuesday and wednesday it will be difficult and if some will because of snow and the wind and heavy rain since last night, flights have been canceled to the cities because of the weather conditions and it was right before the earthquake happened and after the earthquake, as you said, a port, sorry close in garza, i'm in hot type in car, her mom or and in other now these are the city is badly affected by this earthquake . and there is no access, and for instance, the highway between high and got then to has, has been told to the correct if people are not able to access to some of the
6:10 pm
district which makes it to reach out to those people for help us search and risky more and more difficult, but why more vehicles more more carriers actually are needed as the turkish president pointed out in his speech earlier in the day. so this is, this is a difficult situation. also some infrastructure have been a hit there is we know that there are 2 hospitals, one in its kinda room, and one in hotels that have collapse. and the natural gas pipelines in ga sounds have been cut her mom i have been also hits. and as for the vice president mentioned this more, it may take days to repair those pipelines, which means even if people have a safe houses, it will be difficult for them to warm up under these heavy winter conditions because we saw in the pictures and we heard from the people that we know and got
6:11 pm
them to happen in other places. when they to come to the streets after the earthquake, it was very cold and it was very difficult for them to stay outside. some of them went to the public buildings or some of them went to the most big places that they could warm, often stay safe. so the coming hours are going to be very difficult for the turkish people who have survived this earthquake and for the rescue workers that as it's becoming dark, it is a difficult task and everybody prays for turkey, a neighbor and friend. the countries are trying to reach out to true kid with a medical aid and with and more human source like rescue workers. but more is going to be needed for this country that has been going through. it's one of its worth earthquakes and its history. thank you so much for that update from istanbul were over in the white house, the national security advisor,

6:14 pm
variety of the staff and their specials that are needed. so you're talking about pan cities, it is quite a wide geography that this earthquake is, is covered. and this is the 2nd largest earthquake that's happening in turkey in the last 100 years. and already we are talking about more than 1000 people killed and more than 70000 people injured and almost around 3000 houses. buildings have been have been called left, so we see that that metric pictures are coming from the various cities in the south, then south, eastern or off turkey. that's why these activities are quite important. the won't spend at the office stumble. i said, up to st. there's one in european side of the stumble and the other one in asia, inside of istanbul, so they are gathered. it is essential to be delivered to the areas that have been affected by the by did not quit. and also there's already,

support from the pandemic covey and after and after. now the media can stick to cannot handle all of those engine cannot receive. all those injured people are already facing a severe storm. in freezing temperatures and aftershocks are making their lives worth. more shelter is needed. as many families are, again, made homeless in a region where millions displaced by war live intense powerful tremors were felt lebanon as well. they start to just after 3 a. m, when most people were asleep and lasted for at least 40 seconds. there was chaos. as many people evacuated their homes. damage may have been minimal here, but more tremors are feared. back in syria, the extent of the humanitarian tragedy is only becoming apparent. center for their elders. eda failed. let's go over to damascus and speak to emma stuff. i bella mere,
6:19 pm
he's joining us from there. he is the un residence and humanitarian coordinator in syria. welcome to be al jazeera news. our sir, what is your assessment of the situation so far? and what are your teams on the ground telling you about what they're seeing? it's a very difficult situation. it's a sub situation here in syria. we have already a difficult a difficult situation before 11 years of war. and now, nature is even making it harder on us in the pool, for example, we have already $4040.00 builders, have collapsed, and new buildings are suffered to be structural damage and made to collapse my gloves in time. we are very use in schools for incense, when people homeless people who are already have been homeless, maybe before many schools have collapse so so i am no longer can not be used so that the situation is difficult and not only in our level and,
6:20 pm
and homes but also the key and the, the cost of the home ition. we have the suggestion that is not easy for me is up to him 1st infrastructure the school. the rose water is also have been missed. we live very much on the tank water, the water tanks, and many, many, many of them either need to serious repair or a needs to be replaced. i understand that there does not provide services, but rather at coordinates. the response, so challenging has been for you to coordinate the response. under these circumstances. we have teams in tubs in haller, in the area, and they're working and we are coordinating there, we have some sectors score coordinates in various various areas of human in areas. we are also coordinate in the level of the mosque because we are working with part
6:21 pm
knows national and seals international and local partners, the govern government at levels. and we can actually we're ready to work and we are facilitating that there is a huge need. we have already, we will have been suffering huge needs whether we are talking about have education, our fuel, or even fuel. we don't have here. if we want to address the situation which is becoming a really serious roles have been damaged. fuel is not available. stuff is not available. hospitals, some of them got damage in and, and the navy in other places. we need a lot of help here when you ok, let me talk about that help. what sort of aids is getting into, into these areas? yes. all of us, the agencies, the human 2nd community international and the,
6:22 pm
the, all the partners here are using whatever's talk where they have, we have already, we have food, we have the food stamps, we have a close winter clothes sheets. but all of these have been stuck for the normal needs of the city and people. and now because of the sea and emergency, we're moving with these, we're moving and we're using them. but that needs to be represented, replenished. in the next few days, we will use whatever stock we have. medical needs are huge. we are already work in to bring medical supplies from outside the we're getting all the facilitation from the part says to gets into the country all these needs, whether they're medical or others. and we're also getting a lot of sports in terms of access to the us in the north and the whole not
6:23 pm
beyond the north west hama, homes, the blood to the target tours all these places. and if we look at the theory, if we look at the northwest, the syria in particular, last month of course, the un security council agreed to allow aid. and so part of the country from turkey across one border crossing. and that's the bible, how a border crossing. so do you think that some of the restrictions will be relax now to allowed aid in and will the age still be going in through that particular crossing or elsewhere? i think that's how that's the cross border from the clear into into the northwest. and we are talking about that northwest plus hollow and hummed. and just to remind the people of something hello is only a 120 kilometers from the epi sensor. and does the ship and the conditions of hello
6:24 pm
not the same that we are already in a very kind of difficult situation in terms of the infrastructure that the loads, water, electricity, fuel. so the impact of this is as big as what we see in other places. and that is, i think the problem we have, your question is whether we can get from this side from hello to reach those people in need wherever they are with that they're in the northwest or in the coastal area or in thompson and other places that have been affected, we are ready to do us. we are ready to do that and we can't under rely on our part as all our prices to facilitate that access. because here we're not talking politics. we're talking access to people and access to women and children that are actually go to sleep at night outside. and we all know that now we have colleagues
6:25 pm
and we have people in the started to, in the end, hallo, will go into sleep in freezing temperature and it's going to snow if it's not over the snow snowing in that area. so we don't have you been guaranteed to access just for clarity. have you been guaranteed access to every area that you need to reach from our side from the moscow side? yes, we have been guaranteed that access as soon as his requested it will be granted. now we need also to have that kind of guarantee from other partners other slides, i mean beyond the mask because those areas that are on the west of syria. i cannot now at this point, answer your question, but i am making this appeal to facilitate access those people because we cannot
6:26 pm
afford to see people who have been suffering all these years. again, suffer now and actually nature is met. i can, it's hard on us. okay, we'll leave it there or we thank you very much for speaking to us from damascus. mr . elmwood, thank you so much. you're welcome. thank you. that's the light fixture, once again from john off in turkey. yes. where as you can see, it's getting dark just after 6 pm there. and the search and rescue operation is still ongoing. and also is there a producer of model her feed is, in fact sheltering with his family and guardian tap. and he gave us this update a little earlier on this weekend. so now that you see like hundreds and thousands of cars just only in and out the streets, people don't know where they are going. actually like we just moved to buy some
6:27 pm
breads for the kids and we spend over than one hour just standing in the line to get 5 pieces of bread that's mean like people is panicked. like what do they want to do where they want to go? they don't know. now the street that i'm standing in there is a dozen of call is just waiting in the line in front of a gas station. they want to fill up their cause and they really don't know where they want to go. but what, what they should do, nobody knows if we are faced right now in one of the most me and family, my mother and my father and my kids on the aftershocks is make us, at least like we just like crazy. like we feel it's we try to run and it's, and we feel as we try to run and it's and, but the 2nd law just both quick, i one call it's after trucks because it's coming like 7.8. it's similar to the 1st one. bits make us all crazy,
6:28 pm
like we start running like crazy and you can see hundreds of people inside the moss . they just want to survive by their life. so far we couldn't see any much of a house coming toward our areas as we don't have much destroyed, then damage is building. but we've seen many heading around us, especially the electricity and the gas company, which they are just running to turn off some of the fires with 3 stop after the 2nd earth. i'm from our side, like you can see many people that just need more food, more blankets, more people start on line and standing outside the street. they don't feel safe, even inside a mosque or whatever. it's like a government building. they don't feel safe. they just standing outside in the snow and it's now under that, that it's too cold, like i'm talking to you and i'm shaking it really too cold outside

6:34 pm
struggling to treat the injured we'll move on to some other world news now and tell you about is really forces who have killed at least 5 palestinians during a raid and jericho in the occupied by spank israel says 2 of the individuals killed were involved in an attack that happened late last month. neither abraham reports, ne, accounting, the deadline was impossible for palestinians theatre jericho in the occupied westbank. in this room on the outskirts of awkward debate refugee camp. witnesses, se palestinian fighters change fire with israeli forces to them. allah blood is all next left here. after these released took bodies with them done side. it was a very difficult situation. and israeli forces shot at us and at another ambulance and prevented us from helping the wounded. it was only hours later this time he would informed at least 5 alice damien, had been killed among them,
6:35 pm
2 brothers. while families are open morning houses, it's not clear when and if they'll get the chance to bury their son. israel has a policy of withholding buddies of palestinians accuses of killing is really feel more risk whatsoever. is there even a day that passes by without a massacre? what you expect our sons to do? go through sweetser flowers at the israelis impossible for is ready for to say 2 of those killed carried out. a gun attack near in the league is really supplement more than a week ago, although no one was injured in the shooting. it was who was behind it that were these releases and you armed group called the alphabet job brigade claims responsibility. as a result is really forces imposed and knowing they've located on jericho on saturday and his really, really failed to arrest and suspects but led to a gunfight. where in this part of the west bank for years,
6:36 pm
jerry guys remains relatively calm when it comes to act of resistance. but at the same time it witnesses the daily struggles of being under military occupation. like supplement expansion, house, munitions, and land confiscation. last year, more young palestinians doing quite in groups in jeannine and nav, listen the north of the west bank. now that also happening in jericho, decent ball suggest more than half of palestinians support the struggle against israel, the highest number into decades. many here say that's not surprising for society, that field left behind bites leaders in the world was having to piece of an increasingly violent israeli military occupation with that. but him and just either be occupied with bank international assistance or started arriving in parts of chile that have been ravaged by wildfires. the fires have killed at least 24 people in the story. hundreds of homes, strong winds,
6:37 pm
and high temperatures are also making it difficult for fire cruise to control the blazes. the president has declared emergencies and the worse hit regions. let's the cross over through latin america editor see a new and she's joining us from santa juana in chile. so how bad is it to see it's, it's, it's awful it's, it's really quite heartbreaking to see what has happened here in just such a short amount of time. it's very, very hot here just to give you an idea of the temperature. this is what happened. the metal was burned to during the fire, but that's, that's just the tip of the iceberg. this what you had see right behind me to my side were 2 homes where 2 different families were living. the public works department has sent a bulldozer to try to clear some of the rubble. these people were lucky. they have jobs in other in other areas they don't are not. even though this is the
6:38 pm
countryside. they have full time jobs. but a lot of the people who have lost their homes have now no, no way to make a living, no money to replace what happened and worse yet, there are still an undetermined amount of people missing. just over to my left is you can get an idea of just how ferocious the fires were and this was all on fire until just yesterday. and just on the other side of this hill or mountain, there are dozens and dozens of homes for people who live on roads that have no ready access. so it's very hard for them to escape. and the authorities have not gone up there yet. nobody's been able to check to see if these people were able to make it out on time, or whether they did not survive, as that has been the case that we've been hearing of many of the people here in santa juana. they've been heart breaking stories, heart warming stories of solidarity, for example, a neighbor who came to help
6:39 pm
a friend whose house was burning. and he himself died in the attempt to help his friend. and the man's wife, though, is still trying to help everyone else here in the neighbourhood. others are bringing food, water, all the things that nobody else here has. but on the other hand, some of the worst aspects of humanity you might say, have been showing their, the face looters, people trying to come in and feel the very little or nothing that's left here in a place like this. so the, the owner that you may see behind me here of this plot of land is spent is spending the night here in a little tent because he says that even if it's a little bit of metal that left, it can be recycled. and there can help him at least to try to start over again. ok, thank you so much. lucy newman reporting from chile health care workers in the u. k . are on the picket line for their biggest strike. yes. i said, i don't know if there's an ambulance to say,
6:40 pm
patients are being put at risk by understanding. unions are demanding better pay on conditions. the government says it can't afford the pay rises. they're asking for the above reports from brighton and southern england's well across the country. we've got ambulance work because i know he's out on strike together for the 1st time. both of those sectors pushing for pay raise it in line with inflation now they have dismissed the idea from the government that they are talking on pay in the unions is saying that there is room for compromise as shown in wales and in scotland, where it had been code up to improve pay offers. the government's accused ambulance workers are putting patients' lives at risk by not communicating where they taking industrial action in that bugs. the head of the gym, be union representing workers, says that it's simply a lie. you are actually safer on a slate day because our members are leaving picket lines and we have arranged
6:41 pm
