hours later, a 2nd one struck the southern city of car my morass. more than 2300 people have died. how much vol begins are coverage. a multi story building collapses india. as a 2nd quake of $7.00, magnitude hits southeast and took it came hours after the 1st struck in the early hours of monday, killing more than a 1000 people cause an extensive destruction offered to focus disaster directory to mobilize the rescue teams from different provinces to the effect that the region doki ship good isn't that as well? i appreciate those hello to use gender merit immediately and many other angels also deploy to be a risk team sanctuary in reference to the affected regions almost had problems with rescue workers dig through piles of debris in

a search for survivors. scenes of destruction spread across at least 10 cities in south eastern anatolia. thousands of homes have been living the death toll keep sizing and harsh winter with it is making rescue efforts more difficult. addressing the nation president, russia played abd one, said the government is doing its best to deal with the situation to chill all the cook dims where billy did it in the turkish armed forces. an emergency in disaster authority have been called to the affected areas. our priority is to rescue those and needs that are most 9000 people are working now in the rescue efforts. all sort alicio in regards to international help and i, it, we had contact with other countries in addition to nato and the uses. there are $45.00 countries that are offered their homeless ah took. it sits on top of a major seismic fault line and is frequently shaken by earthquakes. about 18000

people were killed in quakes that hit a north west in 1999 with a history of such natural disasters. many are asking why the country wasn't better prepared to kia and syria were the hardest hit. but the quick was also felt for was eastern mediterranean, including lebanon, cypress palestine, israel, and as far away as egypt, i'm at one of the 0. 6. caswell glue is monitoring developments. from istanbul, the figures of the casualties are expected to rise because there are some areas that the rescue workers haven't been able to reach so far because i, for instance, the highway between hotel and gas dance at the new highway is totally cracked. and people who are not able to use those highways, that's why we are hearing from the locals. that old pass or old roles are being preferred by the by many people who are trying to reach from one place to another.

that's why the vice president has just called on people that if people do not have any public duty or if they have nothing relevant in the city, they are free to leave and go to other places. others the piece so that there is less crowd and there are more, it will be easier for the rescue workers to reach out to the people who are trapped on their, their rebels. affordances from contact to case southern city, which is a border with a syria. we haven't heard much because there is no access. this is what we're hearing and we're hearing that many buildings are collapsed and we don't have any figures about the vessel in unpacked high area. but we know that one hospital in her thigh and one hospital in the standard have collapse during the day after the aftershocks. the aftershocks are continuing by the waves in malati city, which is close to the epicenter of kara, mom. there are after shops,

there are squeaks ongoing and we are seeing people trying to reach out. the disaster management agency is through enemies that they can. so this situation is getting dire as also the 1st 3 days. 72 hours are very critical for the civilians who are trapped under the rebels. and now it is the evening time. everywhere is dark, it is snowing and most of places that are hit by the earthquake. and this is making things. and this makes things more difficult for the rescue workers right now. but as for the vice president as statements, there are nearly 15000 personnel on the ground trying to reach out to those people in across those 10 city is affected by the earthquake. but as the alarm level for declared by the turkish authorities and international assistance is also on the

way it hopes are high, that those the assistance is going to help rescue workers. but the scene is totally tragic and catastrophe because the area of affected we're talking about is a vast geography. those 10 cities mean more than 10000000, nearly 13000000 people. that's why millions are outside right now and some other millions in turkey are praying for those people who are trapped under the rebels. and hor, out there in the cold and trying to survive the earthquake. i'll just say we're a producer of mccarthy bas sheltering with his family and guys he and tap and he gave us this update earlier this week. and 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 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 we are base right now in one of the most me and family, my mother, 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 largest earthquake, i want call it's after trucks because it's coming like 7.8. it's similar to the 1st one. it's make us all crazy. like we start running like crazy and you can see hundreds of people inside the mosse, they just want to survive by their life. so far we couldn't see any, much of

a health coming toward our areas as we don't have much destroyed and damages 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 week. i'm from our side, like you can see many people that just need more food, more blankets, more people start online 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 cell 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. let me speak to ok. sounds turkey, a spokesman mary, i'm as long. she's joining us lie from ankara. thanks for speaking to us on al jazeera. what's your assessment of the situation? it has a did i stating situation?

unfortunately, they are all shaken by the news. as other speakers i already mentioned there, the earthquake has affected 10 provinces in turkey. there are or 13000000 people living in this area, mom point 7000000 or if she cheats and it hit the earthquake hit hit turkey in m inter time. it is called to snowing. their infrastructure is hugely affected. it is in impacting day capability to reach to the regions and it is impacting the search and rescue efforts. it is really a step stretching all capacities. everybody's doing what they can, but it is really stretching the capacity of the country as you just said. some other people that have been the hardest heads by this earthquake are already

refugees themselves. that's pretty devastating. what sort of aids is needed the most right now and how quickly is it actually getting n you? i mean, i did moon did. must beth urgent tink is to, to reduce the number of that and to get isn't as much as possible the had to the injured, but there is less of need, of course, from water to, to food, to blankets, to shelter. and there in 10 pro, it is all these are needed in 10 provinces, and some provinces are more difficult to reach them. others though, and it is like a ham on marsh is the most effective. but for example, hot i is hugely affected as y m. and the they have is reaching latest they are because they're also effected the day airport is effected. and there is the need

for nearly everything you can imagine from, from one culture to food, to tool or palmer ranked to hygiene kits too. so as you're saying time is really of the essence here, isn't it? yes. define is that sense? and, and i mean, and we need to get as much it as fast as possible people. they hadn't had data as the as fast as possible. and a yes, that our efforts that are being coordinated by the government, by to city society. but i think the people on the and there in the region are already air. so panicked, so shocked. and so they are leaving like a double triple trauma because, you know, they don't even have the time to mon,

for, for day or dead. they are in called, they are down, they don't have access to food. and i, i don't think we can act as fast as needed at the moment. okay, we will leave it there. we thank you for giving us that update from anchor r mary m. a. sloan. thank you. well, across the border and syria, the devastation is also wide spread to and there are communities that had already been struggling to survive. after years of war had been completely destroyed. zanna her that reports a child is told to recite to prayer, la, la, la la, trapped under the rubble of a collapse building. this is the human toll of a major earthquake that struck central turkey. it was felt hard in neighboring syria. hundreds of people have already lost their lives, buildings collapsed across towns and cities, and on both sides of the front lines of the war in syria. in

areas under the control of the government and those controlled by the opposition. hello. i'm. i'm desperate appeals for help from those already struggling to survive after more than a decade of war. in rebel areas, there are no state structures to deal with. such a disaster calls are growing for emergency aid as residential areas are leveled to the ground abuse or you can come in, civilian buildings have completely been destroyed due to an earthquake that hit the northwest of syria around 4 30 in the morning. the situation is dire and catastrophic. tins of buildings have fallen in the city of sel. kin is completes electrical blackout. it's really catastrophic. everyone is on the streets. the buildings are either destroyed or barely holding here. many of the buildings that

collapse were already not structurally sound due to years of war. civil defense team say they need machinery to rescue people while the few hospitals that survived the government attacks in recent years are overwhelmed. that mythical sector already in was or not we're still project. it's hosted by the one big by that of station by there. said jim, many hospitals, many doctors were killed by the palm, big and the bus. good time that we were suffering from the pandemic. go read and after and after. now, oh, the music, a sick dog cannot handle all those injured look cannot receive. all those injured people are already facing a severe storm and freezing temperatures and aftershocks are making their lives worse. 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 in lebanon as well. they started just after 3

a. m, when most people were asleep and lasted for at least 40 seconds. i mean, 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 a parent center for their elders. either failed. still had on al jazeera fire fighters battle to contain blazes and chilly that have killed dozens of people already. and prominent pro democracy figures are on trial in hong kong. 2 years after they were arrested under the government, controversial national security long ah, february. although just, you know, rhinos in tigers, in the whole host, to the brink of extinction. one nice discovers how that fourteen's happy turned

oh, the me. hello again. the top stories on al jazeera search and rescue efforts are underway across southern turkey were too powerful earthquakes of killed, more than 1500 people. the shallow tremor lasted a minute causing hundreds of buildings to collapse. and war torn northern syria has also been effected. the death toll, there's upwards of 900 hospitals have been overwhelmed by the large number of injured and it must have been left as the un resident on humanitarian coordinator in syria. and he says, there is urgent need for emergency supplies. 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 our poor, for example, we have already 4040 builders, have collapsed, and numerous buildings are suffered to be a structural damage and made to collapse my gloves. in time. we are bare use in schools for incense, when people are homeless, people who are already and have been homeless, maybe before many schools have collapsed or so i'm no longer can not be used. so the restriction is difficult and not only and and, and homes but also the key and the, the coastal area, the whole issue. and we have the situation that is not easy for me is up to in 1st infrastructure the, the school, the rose water is also have been done. missed we like very much on the tank

water, the water tanks and many, many, many of them either need to serious repair or need to be replaced. fuel is not available. stuff is not available. hospitals, some of them got damaged in and hung up and navy in other places. we need a lot of help here to other world news and is really forces have killed at least 5 palestinians during a rate in jericho and the occupied westbank. israel says 2 of the individuals killed were involved in an attack that happened late last month. and he reports not counting the deadline was impossible for palestinians needed jericho in the occupied westbank in this room on the outskirts of awkward job, a few g. what this is, say palestinian fighters change fire with israeli forces to them. blood is all

that's left here. after these really took bodies with them didn't down side. it was a very difficult situation and is ready forces shot at us and at another ambulance and prevented us from helping the wounded. it was only hours later, the time they were informed at least 5. alas timmy had been killed among them 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 rich. what 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 kills. carried out a gun attack near an illegal to really supplement more than a week ago, although no one was injured than the shooting. it was who was behind it that were these releases and you armed group called the alphabet job,

a brigade cleans responsibility. as a result is really forces imposed and 9 de blockades on jericho on saturday. and his really rates failed to utter and soft, but lead to a gunfight. where in this part of the west bank for years jerry cars 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, the 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 as either the occupied with bank international assistance. a started arriving in parts of chile that have been ravaged by wildfires. fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed hundreds of homes. strong winds and high temperatures are making it difficult for fire crews to control the blazes. presidents has declared emergencies in the worst regions. our latin america, editor of the few men, is surveying the damage from the fire in santa juana chile. 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 would you 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, other areas they don't are not. even though this is the 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. yes, there are still and i'm determined amount of people missing, just over to my left is you can get an idea of just how ferocious the flyers were. and this was all on fire until just yesterday on. 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 wanda. they've been heartbreaking stories, heart warming, stories of solidarity, 47 pro democracy activists have gone on trial in hong kong. they faced charges of trying to undermine the government after organizing an unofficial primary election in 2020 richard kimber reports from hong kong. why? the a brief moment of protest outside a court in hong kong, members of one of the territories, few remaining pro democracy gr shouted slogans to condemn the trial bound to take place inside the police. soon steps in. they took one of the group away, the breaking cove at 19 rules by removing his mask in public the trial is the largest national security case held in hong kong, the introduction of its controversial national security law. 3 years ago. the

$47.00 defendants include form lawmakers, student activists, and legal scholars. they are accused of conspiring to get a subversion by organizing an unofficial primary election to choose pro democracy candidates the government. prosecutors said that the vote responsive plans, the paralyzed government operations, and over through hong kong leader and normal democratic process. peaceful, peaceful way of using democratic power to try to get to, to go, try to get things done that is now been criminalized by this law that it's kind of foreign to the, to the normal process in hong kong. the trial is attracting international scrutiny, conceal representatives for more than 10 countries, but at the courthouse is expected to last at least 3 months. those found guilty could face a maximum of life in prison. the thought of his trial coincides with a major government effort to restore hong kong international reputation. after 3 years of control,

this is about the city politics and strict code 1900 rules. in reopening the border with the chinese mainland and bulging a multi $1000000.00 campaign to boost international tourism to the city. for some home commerce, the territory is reopening is making the national security case. an after thought is at the moment, actually i don't really have any feelings about this child. i've become numb to all the politics here for a long time. and if hong kong finance is doing well, that will be best for the city and that will be less discontent. on combs, chief executive is trying to make that happen. john lee is in saudi arabia, brokering deals to boost the territories economy and keep the world's attention on hong kong, financial future rather than its politics. richard kimber, al jazeera hong kong health care workers, and the u. k. are on the picket line for their biggest strike yet i what do we want nurses, an ambulance through say,

patients are being put at risk by understaffing. unions are demanding better pay on conditions. the government says it can't afford the pay rises. they're asking for just returning to are breaking story we've been following for you and more than 2300 people have died across turkey year and syria and devastating earthquakes. just a reminder, you can find much more on our website. the address is al jazeera dot com. that's it from me. the news continues on al jazeera, after inside story by ah, now on the re be in peninsula, the weather is turning. i think to was improvement was the opposite. in turkey or the eastern side of the mediterranean with this snow storm wind up here that was

all snow. so it is rain and wind all the way from the coast of northern asia through the levant. it is rain and wind, and on tuesday the snow is going to be moving east was through the earthquake affected area. so there's still be snow in some path. but for the most part, the sun is going to try and return. the exception is going to be a stamp all still a normally wind and snow falling. hardly good weather. now this is tuesday's picture. this is widening it and see what happens. the snow beyond that is gone into iran than the east inside of iraq might see. right, and i suspect because he strengthening winds in northern sadie the potential for sandstorms here as well. but look at the temperature down in doha 27 degrees. so it's turned particularly warm in the gulf states. okay, this is the picture for wednesday and things look improving for most a turkey, the exception of ist amble, but nighttime frost is still going to be an issue. the next oil ask of the rain is about fast as it's going to get. so it's affecting in particular southern tanzania,

maybe parts of malawi and the eastern side of madagascar where brain looks particularly heavy. ah, the, from the al jazeera london, rural car center to people in thoughtful conversation, people use the lowest get agreement. they describe the outsider with no host and no limitation. the difference between a migrant and refugee is truly a choice. when you are a refugee, you are forced to flee part one of asthma khan and hasn't had what has happened. a lot in the west is that culture and food is separated. hudy b unscripted on out his era brushes, foreign minister visits, african countries to shore up support purposes. the wagner group experiments, it's operations on the continent. so as moscow's increasing security presence in africa of threat to us and french influence.
