until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha. we have extensive coverage all the disaster, including a 3 year olds, pulled out alive and a baby is born in the problem. incredible risk use of giving hope more survivors can be found more. i ate an emergency teams arriving takia as international. if it's to help us stepped up and the struggle to get aid into syria, the region already damaged by gears of war. ah, thousands of people and ticket and syria waking up clean, clinging, to hope some of their loved ones have survived. 2 earthquakes, rescue workers are digging true. piles of debris define survivors as an aid work has struggled to cope with the scale of the disaster. while the 9400 people are confirmed, did, stephanie deca has more from gaussian tip and took here around 80. people were told

are still trapped under this building, but rescue workers have told us that they haven't heard any more sounds, any more voices. since last night is a huge rescue operation happening here. it is the 3rd day we are being told to move out of this area because a lot of these buildings that still stand around here are structurally damages concerns that they could come down. you can see cracks, and some of these buildings are actually going to demolish one of them later today . because of how dangerous they are. a lot of volunteers here, which is came from another location as well. where also we were told it was no longer a rescue operation. it was a recovery operation. we saw one be body being pulled from the robbery rubble. it was a father. his daughter was there sobbing. ah, incredibly, heartbreaking scenes. sorry there's smoke coming because it's so cold a lot of the,

the volunteers and a lot of the residents who are coming back waiting, hoping still that perhaps someone will still be taking a lie from this rubble. they've created fires, burning anything they can find to keep themselves warm. so that's another issue, the cold proving extremely, extremely difficult. also, when it comes to finding anyone alive at this stage, not too far from gassy on tape lies actually offer. bennett smith has more on the rescue operations there much as the city wasn't affected by the white patches, white building fell down and of this one. what happened to the building behind me now actually a small bit of news from here. they old oil boy, out of the rubble from here in the middle of the night, 47 hours after the building collapse. sadly, also, boy, mother's body was recovered and his father is still buried in somewhere sick. all these have been recovered up with 4 year old boy found alive. i was particularly

interested you. i'll play all around. the buildings are still standing, and yet this will building a whole and down. so you're lucky. so why? now into 2007, i've been strict regulations about building safety so that we are able to withstand earthquakes. all of these buildings were told around were built up to 2007. but the difference with the one with collapsed local is telling us is that there was a supermarket in the basin. and when they make, when they expand the supermarket, they cut down the pillars, supporting pillars of the building. and that is why they think this building on down phenom costello now has more from inside his temple, if we were health, is uprising from the rest of the world. say international aid, 1st comes to some layer boards where we are and then they are transferred to the earthquake because areas it is difficult to reach out to some places where the 4

stars shuts down. like down to a hotel, i call her mom or as these are the cities that have been hit severely by monday morning. the earthquake and right behind me you see a crowd. these are the volunteer people who would like to join to outside disaster management agents. did use to reach to the earthquake area to help williams out there. there was a more crowded group actually less than 15 minutes ago. some of them didn't have any experience. they just wanted to come here and join the rescue groups because they didn't feel right. this is what they say and all of them had some profession. they believed they could help, but the disaster management agency representatives said only people who are eligible to be able to work in the search and rescue operation will be taken into play and broke to the area as time is taking each hour. mean

more people can each hour last me. maybe more people can die on the rubble. so this is a difficult task even for the volunteers. and in the morning, a group from africa came here and they took off from a port to reach to earthquake areas. more people are trying to come here. more civilians are even willing to volunteer in the operations. the stories of miraculous rescues are still coming in a 3 year old boy was found to live in caramel mirage. the epicenter of the disaster are of con, was pulled from beneath rubble. after being trapped for nearly 2 days in a neighbouring syria, people and jin derose found a new born baby alive. her mother apparently gave birth while she was buried under the rubble of a 5 story building. the newborn was found with her umbilical cord still connected to her parent, who since died. ah,
