and all that covers world views like we do as a roman correspondent, i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics to close legacy environmental issues. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen health care. so what we want to know is how do these things affect people? we revisit places and stay even when they're no international headline news also there are really invest in that and that's a privilege. as a journalist ah ah. hello, i'm rob matheson and this is the news our life from bill hard coming up, our extensive coverage of the earthquakes into care and syria. emergency crews

struggling to cope more than 9600 people are confirmed to have died and mondays earthquakes. a baby born under rubble and a 3 year old pulled out alive. astonishing, rescues are giving hope that more survivors can be found. cargo and melody planes fly hundreds of critically injured people to city hospitals in a race to save lives. homes destroyed, living in the cold survivors weighed anxiously for aid sent from around the. busy world and the sagal to get health into syria, her region already damaged by years of war. ah, well, one of the worst earthquakes this centuries killed more than 9600 people and took here and syria. the number of those killed is rising every hour as rescuers race

against time to find survivors. shops under rubble took here alone is counting more than 7000 dead rescue. teams are working a round the clock 3 days after 2 powerful earthquakes struck the southeastern region and northern sylvia. across the border in sylvia, rescuers face a logistical nightmare aid efforts have been held up as rebel held areas cannot be reached that situations made worse by years of war and isolation. several countries have sent rescue teams in age. the world health organization is wanting as many as 23000000 people could be affected. we've got to correspondence across to kia, keeping track of the help and recovery operations that and casias in istanbul international airport. first, we're gonna go to wrestle sada, who's at carmen. marashi, it's the city at the epicenter of the 2nd quite russell. i understand that turkish president, age of ty, about one is already there and he's planning to take

a tour of the area to see for himself the level of devastation while he a prison. asthma has just took off from ankara and he is expected to arrive to carmen mirage soon. and his going to was at that that, that, that the city of the pants that there are thousands of people now been located or moved to that, that place that part of that the city, the destination here is, is quite dramatic. so i am now in front of the rebels of some of the collapse buildings. these are just some of hundreds in this city in common mirage, which is the app you center of the earthquake that he church just 2 days ago. right over there you can see that there is a frantic force going on. the machines are, they're working digging holes, trying to get to the people right there to last night that the at the rescue team has saved a 14 years old girl. her name was a peck as she was still alive,

and her mother, while she was being rescued, was, was waiting for her. and despite being exhausted, after more than 40 hours beneath the rubble, when the rescue team took her out. first thing that he says she said was police rescued. please save my father as well because but her father was very much close to her and he was also ally later during that through the night. her father also has been pulled out from the rivals, but 2 of the other family members unfortunately, could not survive. so beneath these robles that are still tens of fuel and probably some of them still alive here. you can see the man, his name is met and mad says dead. then maria says that 4 of food off his family members are still bitter down there. there is arrivals, his, his wife, his son,

and her 2 of his daughters are right over there. and there's data ruffles, and the rescue teams are trying to to, to, to fool them out. however, it's not clear whether they are alive or death right. no over there. you can see that the rescue teams are steal. i'm not trying to to fool out some of the people's over there as well, and they're joined by the family members as well because the families are waiting here through the knives, hoping to hear a voice from their family members that are under the that, that the rebels and through the night they are making their, the fires and trying to warm up. and also a calling day officials did that rescue teams showing them to signs hoping for for help. right over there, behind this building lined his bar rebels just an hour ago. the rescue team says

that they have heard some voices. what's this of 2 young people, one man and one a female. and then the rescue team. i'm the to the dig a hole from top to down. and now they're trying to get there and trying to pull them out so that the hopes as the time is passing, the hopes are fading because almost of more than 48 hours the weather conditions were extreme. unfortunately, we seem to lost our signal from our wrestled there. and obviously the situation is a very, very difficult to get to communications in and out of areas like that. as you can imagine, we're gonna try and get back to him as soon as we possibly can. in fact, i understand we do not have rest. so let's rejoin wrestlers. he's describing the situation where he is. well just over that building over there, the rescue team said that around one hour ago they have heard voices of 2 people,

one met, one meal and one female. and then they started to dig a hole from top of the building to collapse, building to down to their robles and trying to pull them out. so this is just one of the scenes that you're seeing in this city. more than 900 buildings have collapsed in this city, and more than 600 people are already dead. this city has been here by 2 earthquakes within 9 hours. the 1st one was 7.8 magnitude. and the 2nd one that came 9 hours later was 7.5 magnet to so it is quite dramatic here. this is one of the scenes, but across turkey, you will see hundreds of such scenes. however, the families here despite time passing hopes fading, they're still waiting hear around through this, through the nights and days and, and, and then even including even children. it is. it's quite dramatic here. but the,

the earthquake. it's quite a big one. affecting 13500000 people across turkey and the, the area that it is covering is quite huge. just to make a comparison is almost equal to size of the u. k. so that's why the rescue efforts are really falling short. and in the, during the 1st 24 hours, there was a very little houses where little rescue efforts are there because of the hot weather conditions. they did the tough weather conditions and the roads, the men who was that are leading to this cities this pick big cities, particularly carmen mirage are mainly either collapsed or jammed by the vehicles by the cars that people are from across many co, many cities. they're coming to the to, to the city because they say that, you know, some of the relatives are injured. some of them are already dead. so the rules are either jumped by the traffic or co left. so it's quite difficult to come to here

yesterday when you were trying to make our way to to carmen, manage the traffic starts almost 60 kilometers away from the outside of the city to here. it's taking hours and hours and hours to come. so that's why the government decided not to let the private cars to enter to these cities and yesterday, prisoner won. and his government has declared the state of emergency in that in pan cities that has been effected by the earthquake to it, which but this decision is going to let the army, the church army also to get involved to be deployed to the areas that are affected to secure the order, because here that is very little presence or presence of the state yet. and the absence of the rescue a force is still hurting people. but just recently been in this city. carmen mirage is a, is regarded as a developed city or turkey that now it is quite

a different one that i have recently with that i can say that, you know, did that, that shortage of the food, water, lack of electricity, is making life here. extremely difficult, particularly during the night time because we were talking about earlier but took his presidency zip tie up. her one is heading towards comma marsh at which was the epicenter of the the 2nd quake as wrestle has been explaining there, we're going to bring light, bring your life coverage. and if the president is as making his tour and he's going to be speaking about it, i understand also that the official death, tall overall may not have risen to over 9700. we've yet to can confirm that. let's go to stephanie decker. she's joining us live from ghazi and tap in turkey. time is crucial, obviously in these things. and stephanie, how's the rescue operation going? yes, while the building behind me when you're talking about time is crucial, 80 people trapped under the rubble still hope of being last year out because you

can probably see just through the bulldozer friday, we'll try to show you workers still trying to pull away rubble. we've actually just seen the morg car arrive. we saw this earlier at another location. this indicates that they have to find a body. so at some point they will be taking it down. but we spoke to one lady who was here waiting for a friend of her. she says, my friend lives here. she has 2 children who says, i'm here every day hoping to get word from her that she's a license. but i've, i've lost hope. she says it's so cold, she sleeping in her car with her kids. she, she lives 22 streets down from here. and she says it's so incredibly cold that it's very, very difficult to imagine how anyone can survive 3 days in this kind of situation. it's, it's below freezing here. and of course, you know, people were sleeping in their beds in their pajamas, at 4 17 in the morning. so when that happened and everyone has told us, it was so violent one woman describing the house that trip like this thing. it was

a nightmare. she couldn't even begin to describe it, so people that are trapped would have been trapped. well then i'm just think i'm hearing a woman cry. probably the relatives we've been waiting hear the devastating really here. it's very difficult to describe the destruction you can hear. i'm not sure if it's coming to or my microphone piercing shrieks of a woman who's obviously whoever is being brought to the more car is her relative. and this is what we've been seeing throughout the day. we earlier had a daughter of the father who was brought into the same more car beyond herself with grief. in fact, when we at some point tried to film them, they got extremely angry. and of course, even more or less than we have to documented. but actually, i was thinking, you know, we're putting the camera in people's faces at the worst time of their lives. it's

a very, it's a very intrusive thing to do. and this is something that we're seeing, you know, across this region and got the on top of the city where you do have access to these big machinery. you've had all the international aid groups land here. here we go. so this is the more car being driven away and probably just in front of a fatty shot. you can probably see on this truck as well cars. this gives you the impact these are, these are civilian cars that are completely crushed by the impact of this earthquake. in fact, one late even said that the building that they were in just immediately within 10 seconds of that earthquake in europe quick is described as last thing about a minute and a half just simply went down on itself. and this is um, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's devastating. i think people, many people, one day they were saying to me, i simply think it's

a nightmare. i want to wake up. this cannot be true because, you know, people have lost their homes, their relatives there, reason to live and, and, and i think it's very difficult for them to comprehend. so, but yes, when you're talking about timing, i think, you know, realistically i was speaking to some of the rescue teams that arrived at garcia until april yesterday. tyler's. if the asset is the 3rd day and with the incredible cold, that is here, it's very like you say miraculous when they still find survivors at this point. stephanie, thank you very much. indeed, we did hear those signs over your microphone when you were talking. i'm clearly it's a time of terrible personal grief right across the region that's been effected. that's deaf doctor talking to us from guys in tip. we're going to go to cinema costello, she's joining us from istanbul. aid has been coming in from several parts of the world. is cinema. talk us through thick, the way in which aid is being funneled through istanbul and the ultimate base being headed towards the areas which need it most here.

so we have been as a stumble, airport since the morning, but now we are heading to another, a distribution center at the airport to we were able to see a group of volunteers faking golf uh with our foster kids, disaster management agency. oh, with a plane, and there were turkish roland tiers, who came to the airport and tried to register to go with the teams there. there were also, there was also a group of rescuer, occurs who came from africa in the morning and they left in the early hours of the morning to the to the region. according to the official figures, there are more than 3005304 and rescue workers right now on the ground than at a 100000 turkish rescue team. is it on the ground helping, helping, helping to the victims and the survivors of this earthquake

a. but international assistance is coming from everywhere and also turkish citizens are doing their best to contribute to this aid organization. aids, a chain actually, and his apologies, local governors offices, the presidency, the disaster management. they do some turkish ref, crescent, and some individual efforts to send a supplies food supplies, a blankets, a outfits, it to the region our own. the way also, the turkish dies, florida is working very hard as far as we are following the turks who have been living in the western countries, european countries, they are also trying to fund raiser for this aid. we are seeing a celebrity is social media celebrities. a fundraising on social media and coordinating all these efforts with the official authorities in order to oh,

how i help all these 8 efforts. but i where they were, the supply is whatever the effort is a the, the earthquake hit 10 cities and according to environment minister, this means 13500000 lives that are affected by this earthquake saw more is needed it through the local channels through international channels. and as the world health organization said yesterday, the area earthquake, it's area is now emergency area level 3, which means everything is mobilized, even as the world has over the organization. and this earthquake, earthquake is areas send them. costello bring us up to date on the delivery of aid and help assemble, send them. thank you very much indeed. bout stories of some astonishing rescues are coming in a 3 year old boy was found alive and cut him on mirage. the epicenter of the

disaster artist con, was full book, pulled from beneath the rubble. after being trapped for nearly 2 days in neighboring syria people engender is found a new born baby alive. her mother partly 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, why thomas must be workers as a tool that survivors and rebels held it live province. people there what already struggling after years of war rescue in relief efforts are being criticized as inadequate and hundreds of buildings of collapse across sylvia. more than 2300 people are said to have died. the un says damaged roads, black of equipment and tough winter conditions are hampering efforts to fine survivors. well, as cinema's just mentioning thousands of people across her care,

i've joined to aid efforts. they've set up centers to collect food, warm clothing, and other essential items to help survivors from voucher on him as visited a collection point in is humble. no, the pace has been unrelenting. at this emergency distribution center in is stumble . these volunteers, no time is of the essence for their suffering. fellow turks, like i have to be sure i could really level like what's like, what's new tv? i just need to be there is unity resolve and an understanding that this humanitarian effort will take on historic proportions. it will also be costly . president irwin has allocated more than $5000000000.00 to help the country recover from what could emerge to be the worst natural disaster in 2 generations. our prayers are with them or hopes are with them. so we're working with the

volunteers with all our sins and that he's not people of them will never lead us down with the so the dirty president ur, tuan has declared a one week period of national warning. and schools have been closed. have canada could be learn on one, missouri. the current situation requires us to take extraordinary measures. we declare our 10 provinces where the earthquake took place. as disaster jones, we decided to declare a state of emergency so that the search and rescue activities. and all subsequent works can be carried out rapidly. the seat of emergency will and shortly before the presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled on may 14th inflation in turkey, a is 80 percent. and critics say government policy is exacerbating the country's economic woes. the earthquake zone in southern tortilla is home to a significant syrian refugee population. right wing parties are calling them

a burden on an already overtaxed economy in the ruins of homes, and amid the morning of loved ones. last, there is no distinction between citizen or refugee, just a human being in need of immediate help and compassion. natasha name al jazeera is stumble. wilma, sidon is secretary general of i. h h humanitarian, really foundation it's. it's a kia based angio. he's joining us from is sambo very good to have you with us? oh, and i'll just here to i'm the sound. of course, this is a busy time for you and your teams. can you describe to us, watch your teams in the ground or seeing thank you very much for giving me ben ben, we tried to describe the stress on the field is really careful. and we have told me about how many people are effective 9 provinces and intervene,

stretching with the 65 team teams. they consist of 1200 of the search and rescue members. so now we can provinces, and try and out. now on this, that all of them now on the rebels are trying to survive the victims. it's really running out of time because in one day the article happened 7 to 2 hours is $24.00 . and so now we are running out of time. the teams are really doing the great effort to survive the latest, but the other thing is the weather is really cold and other challenging. so than been because of the brother because of the, the house condition. now the, our team is trying to do the best to save the lives. it's not just about getting people out from under the rubble. of course that is vitally important. but what is equally important is caring for the survivors as well. what kind of work are you able to, to do for them?

for the survival of my muscular base search and risky is the one part. the other part is for the survival. now those people are really scared to move their homes because of homes. with the positives off the 10s of thousands of houses are going to be damaged. so people, they cannot go homes and other things with people to go home and afraid to go to the homes. and they are living on the times and smart holes, most hotels that there would be a place organized by the end years and by the state. so people are just trying to survive in those places and other thing you stand in because of the roads of collapse and they've been having difficulties to reach and deliver the. ready items, so people are really now they need to for hot food and they need to blankets they need to hide and especially for the babies, we needed them baby diapers and lots of things. now the need to, for the people of the victims our correspondence and him cause he was telling us

about the relief efforts that were being made in the aid from around the world that is being supplied. are you confident that you will be able to get the support that you need as they can see from the really good is the huge international sport and other things you know, the turkish communicate to moment. now we are united. ready trying to how each and every 50 now announced the. ready ready kind of campaign for the housing, the victims of our fee. so i'm confident that somehow we will be managing the crisis. but the problem is now. ready now we are 2nd almost getting to be of the prices and the running out of time, and people are based on the rebels and they need to be survive and street. so the 1st thing is to have those people and 2nd issue to psycho social support. so this is the really and other sport we need to give them people because and patterns of

people are traumatized at the moment. and the waiting on the stage for the blow wants to survive boulevard, to reach and to really be hoping that they can get the. ready blah, blah and the other thing is for those people are going to be have to pay the food and our kitchen that our. ready organizations tried to deliver the hot food for those people who are on the street that are living did cancel the schools. i understand that your organization isn't just working in here and this is also working in northern syria as well. can you describe to us the difference in operating in syria as opposed to operating inter care yet it a huge difference in turkey that us have cities because in turkey did a search and rescue teams, health facilities and the other. but then you look at the, the crisis in, in, especially in northern part of the syria kids i was like,

i would like to mention had, in my mind. and i thought of that as often talk in both cities really almost because of the arctic. and there is no house, and there is no food, and it is not 10. and already those people are affected by the war for last, you know, after was a big life is almost destroyed. so now what you are trying to do as an organization in the area, you have stand about the $300.00 the search engine team that isn't with them in the system. now they are trying to do research programs and trying to deliver them and pass foot, pass those for those people. but unfortunately, because of the lack of everything, i'm just talking about just how but lack of everything. there is also very terrible at the moment. unfortunately, in the past, when we have seen major events like this, people around the world, ordinary people come together and start making donations. they start putting

together clothes and things that they think people on the grounds might need. if you were to send a message to people who are making collections like that, what is better, what do you most need? or is it actually better that people make financial donations to help the people on the ground? the 1st thing is the financial, the machine is, is the best because, you know, it is very hard to deploy all the food items. what types of these are also very important but sort of the financial support and 2nd collection of the. ready income donation. now the many countries, even though, yes, they are trying to collect the items and they tried to send it. the thing is, you know, the, at the moment they did a politic situation in those provinces, bandy, those cost extra should be settled down. if you'll be delivering all. busy items in the same way, but the 1st we need to focus on the recovery site and the 1st you need to focus on

the surviving those people. but it's really crucial the financial support and income, the issues, both of the report promise aid and secretary general of i h h humanitarian relief foundation. so thank you very much indeed. and what is clearly a very difficult time for everybody. okay, well we heard domus they're talking about the fact that the extreme cold is a significant problem with this car. talk us through what the situation is with her . yes, at dia went to whether hasn't helped and already disastrous situation. but we are going to see some good news. we're going to see some more favorable conditions, at least in terms of clear skies. but those temperatures remaining bitterly low. if we have a look at the current temperatures, mainly eastern areas of turkey are where we're seeing as exceptionally low numbers . it is looking a little bit better across northern parts of syria, but it's at night where we are seeing things 2nd go significantly south. now

currently we had some snow overnight india because that's turned partly cloudy, was seen clear skies in aleppo now that that missed has lifted and clear as to what the skies in gas the on tip. but as we go overnight, that's when we are going to see these numbers plummet. once again, that cold flooding its way down in syria and just give you an idea. if we look at the average for the maximum temperature for dea, because this time of year it's supposed to be sitting in about 10 degrees celsius while we are well below that. and it might even lower clear skies. however on saturday in is certainly clearing up. we have an area of low pressure around the black sea that's going to bring a little bit of a wintry mix at times to parts of eastern turkey here. some of that creeping as well into western parts of syria, but an improving picture. certainly for aleppo if we have a look at the 3 day we are supposed to see max temperatures that 13 degrees celsius . we are below that. we've got a little lift coming, but at might still very, very low temperatures, bitter cold, and goodness for the sunshine during the day. but at night it's not going to be

helpful to many of those of you made homeless by this disaster. you're clearly the weather conditions, absolutely crucial to what's been happening on the god car. thank you very much. indeed. i still hadn't al jazeera hazardous assumes a trained enrollment in ohio since toxic chemicals into the air, leaving 2000 people, unable to return home. evidence of north korea's preparing for a major military parade to mark a significant anniversary. ah . hello there. it's a story of stormy wintry and cold weather across southern europe. at the moment. we've got weather systems pull their way across the mediterranean, bringing some snow to the likes of athens in greece, that closed schools and disrupted trafficking. we could see more of that. we've got those wind to warnings out for eastern areas and it's also the wind that's going to

pick up and pose a problem across southern areas of italy over the next few days. the winds also an issue in the very north west places like scotland, britain, an island seems with those blustery winds pick up into wednesday, some rain pulling in as well that could turn rather when she but further south. after the freezing of fog clears, we could see brighter spells, and you can see that system turning into a wintry blast for norway, the winds picking up as well across the baltics. but high pressure inch is in charge. so even though is finer, we've seen quite a bit of cloud and colder conditions. temperature warnings out for some of the balkans states also for greece and turkey. as those wintry waves continue to move in, we are going to see the weather intensify. nasty conditions coming in for southern areas of italy. but for spain and portugal we are thing from wintry and wet weather effect. eastern areas of spain, but it's an improving picture for portugal. this been seeing some sunshine at 15 degrees celsius. ah.

the in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world to try right extreme is there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible informed opinions. why is the c o position concerned about disrupt much more between turkey, anthea than really with turkey, this is and so forth. frank assessments, you know, that was a joke about the interim government or it's not in for, nor does it got inside story on al jazeera. oh

no. ah, i couldn't even president vladimir zalinski is in london on his 1st u. k. trip since the war began nearly a year ago. zalinski will meet primary alicia. soon i can address parliament. burton is one of ukraine's biggest military backers, and it's centered weapons and equipment. was $2500000000.00. john hill halls joining us live from london. jonah, what's the significance of this particular visit at this time? it's a retro away from ukraine, of course, for president zelinski,

his 1st visit to the u. k. and coming a fortnight or so before the anniversary of rushes invasion of ukraine is perhaps a recognition. an acknowledgment of britain steadfast support the ukraine since the invasion. submit to the course by former prime minister barak johnson. very much continued under richie sumac, and doubtless an opportunity for the president zelinski, not just a wartime leader, but now an absolutely relentless campaigner to continue his campaign for international support, be ukraine for that support not to wayne and indeed for that support too deep. and we have in the last few minutes or so seen live pictures of a plane touching down stance that airport a gray see 70. what looks like a roll. air force, transport plane carrying presidents. and that's about an hour by fast moving convoy also away from westminster. here where he's 1st expected to meet the prime minister

issue soon after 10 downing street. and then at some point itinerary yet to be concerned fucking, paula says he will be meeting charles the 3rd. he's also delivering an address to both, both houses of parliament inside the ancient westminster hole. behind me, that's an occasion reserve generally under the most significant and influential state visitors. and then later he'll finish his day a busy day, of course, meeting ukrainian troops in the southwest of the country currently being trained by u. k. forces under a multi national training program. thank you very much. and just as you're talking that we can see the low pictures from london stance and airport, i tend to the but at least 10 vehicles in that convoy taking precedence lensky to central london, where he's going to be going through that agenda. that is on a house has been talking about if we have any life pictures from those features that are made later on, then we're going to be obviously bringing them to you. ok, let's return to our top story. the ongoing rescue efforts into key and syria after

2 powerful earthquakes kills more than 9700 people. bernard smith, i sent, is this update from sam your phone. a very, very small piece of good news, roman shanley offer. to day a 4 year old boy was pulled alive from the rubble of this apartment building behind me in the early hours of wednesday morning. some 47 hours after that building collapsed. very sadly, his mother's body has been recovered and they're still looking for the body of his father. but you'll notice that all around this one collapsed building. all the other buildings are still standing. new regulations came into force in turkey after 2007, making sure that buildings were earthquake, safe on all of these buildings. locals, tell us we're built after 2007. that includes the building that has collapsed. but what's the difference is with the building that is collapsed we're told is there

was a supermarket underneath. and it was been a common practice for supermarkets to expand the space in the cellar area to remove the pillars of the building. this was a practice discovered from a previous earthquake, some 2 and a half years ago where many of the buildings that collapsed shops in the basement of the building had removed, supporting pillars to give them more space. and people here say this was the case with this building, and that's why it's the only one that collapsed, where every one else is around it. all the other buildings around it are still standing. where you, vaccination, says damage rose and lack of equipment and the weather are hampering efforts to find more survivors in shittier motors are. hm is our fans sherry a country director and he says city is not getting the aid that turkeys receiving. unlike turkey, international aid is not coming to syria at all. and the situation here is handled

as being handled by the government. as we know, the government capacity is very limited in terms of rescue teams in terms of what equipments, the ministry of health reported as of yesterday, close to 1000 people who lost their life. 1500 injured and still many people are under durable. and the government has been that capacity. i think it's very important to keep in mind that this tuition and syria, even before the earthquake was extremely dia, we're talking about 90 percent of the population living under the poverty line. 9 out of syrians cannot 3 d. think we have that next me this coming chrome. so the situation here is very dire than our teams are on the ground and a little city and also in areas which is 2 areas that are badly impacted. and the governor, it needs that are really needs to be addressed very quickly. people need to have

access to clean drinking water, food, shelter, the supplies are very limited. people out in the street and this really cold weather, very limited numbers of fair shelters that have open for people to get some shelter . we're going to talk to other rockman id days, volunteer with a to k, a base n g o i h h humanitarian belief mandation is joining us from baba. how are in syria? thank you very much. indeed for being with us. i do understand this is a very busy time for you and your teams. can you describe to our viewers what your teams are seeing in syria? ok, thanks everyone. hello. this is my 100 people had been killed. how many honesty under probably due to the local pastor and

equipment in one of these, a 100 cell phones have become homeless and we need to read in this past winter. what makes the situation worse? invest region. so are some of the search of worlds that destroy it. although the past 10 years, we need to do want to stick it your parents medical. if you make some shelter or people buying a home building, where does the point where many people say ok now, put baskets that get teachers or materials apprentice. how difficult is it to get aid to people who have been affected by this earthquake given the way that the country is after years of war? let me speak before the ball find this is are very limited for
