6:03 pm
we cannot deny the difficulties and we cannot deny how harsh and situation is anna . the situation is still bad and the weather has affected the rescue operations on the, on several countries have st. rescue teams and aid the world health organization is wanting. as many as 23000000 people could be affected as go live to al jazeera 70 deco joins us from garcia. tap near the turkey syria border. stephanie, 3 days on the extent of the devastation is just unbelievable. it's all too clear now and the focus in some areas of turkey where you are seems to have shifted from search and rescue to recovery. bring us up to speed with the latest. yes, that's pretty much what we've been seeing all day in various areas where they're doing this, which is, you know, rescue and recovery. at this stage we've seen bodies removed. we haven't had any good news if you will hear at the moment you can hear it. silence,
6:04 pm
usually you hear the sound of heavy machinery and this is the sound of hope for what happened. and this is happens across the region when, when they're, when they're searching, they'll be a whistle and the bull, those will stop and they'll be silence. and then what they do is this date by hand, they throw away debris blocks whatever they find because they've heard something. now the rumors among the people here at the moment is that the be, they believe that what they heard was the sound of a little girl. actually one family here saying is a lot of the people who come here a new a behind where we are. we're waiting relatives or people who lived here managed to get out, and just friends and relatives of those who lived, you're hoping for some good news around 80 people. as of this morning remained under the rubble. there are 4 bodies. so far has have been removed. so, but as you've mentioned, you know, 3 days after the fact, hope it's still there, but it is fading. it's incredibly cold. i'm wearing 5 layers and it's freezing. a
6:05 pm
lot of people are sleeping in their cars with a lot of blankets. so it's imaginable. if there's anyone still alive under there, how absolutely horrific the conditions are and also the aftershock fully continue. we felt various since we arrived today to have the one here today, panic on the streets. actually some of these buildings started to shake. and this is also why the authorities are very concerned that they may come down. you can see the cracks and them. so a lot of things to contend with. but yes, people who are telling us they're losing hope, but they still have it, which is why they remain here. they come and stay until the end when they start working around midnight, hoping someone will be pulled out alive. in stephanie we saw the president ship, ty berto on visit one of the affected areas earlier and admitting to the fact that the response was slow in the aftermath of the 2 earthquakes. what sort of a system is being provided now to these communities that have been effective?
6:06 pm
one of 2 fold really. you've had the, the local responders. i thought it was very well versed when it comes to conflict management. they dealt with over a 1000000 syrian refugees that are dealing with their own catastrophe. i think it's fair to call but you have many areas in this region that simply have high looks a lot of anger here, not particularly here and got the on to have. this is a major city. you can see they have bulldozers, they have trucks, they have heavy machinery, they have people, there's areas of be further south that have been high, single help. so the people will be dealing with this kind of rubble with their bare hands that we arrived yesterday on a guitar, a military aid. white we were, it goes down to airport for hours we saw and is really team alive who is setting up a field hospital boy. he's arrived and vehicles removed from their play and he saw the brits alive, the brit with rescue dogs. there was
6:07 pm
a plane from turkmenistan delivering aid. this is a massive international 8 effort. and what happens is when the student arrive here, they immediately get this 1st to those reasons that are, that are hard to hit and often very difficult to get to or so remember pointing road have completely collab broker. you have highways that are simply broken into with the mass of credit. so getting around, logistically, very difficult. there's no electricity here. there's no water. there's no yeah, there's to the side about they're handing out so very, very difficult to operate. but yes, it is, the help is more here, but you know, still, the extent of the devastation is so large that i don't think there can be enough at this stage. stephanie, thank you very much for that. stephanie deca with the view there from guys young tap into kia, near the turkey syria border. now across the border in syria, the situation is extremely critical. the united nation says damage roads, lack of equipment and severe winter conditions are hampering efforts to find
6:08 pm
survivors in northwestern syria. rescue as are struggling to reach some of the worst hit areas. resident fe. the response from authorities has been slow, as in a harder has our report from beirut shirts. maggie, which i don't wanna healer, he laugh is 10 years old. she survived mondays, earthquake. others are still being pulled out from under the rubble of collapse, buildings across syrian cities and towns. but many didn't survive until y'all was wanting to maintain a laugh. tell us rescuers that her siblings and mother are dead under. they're destroyed. how funny she was in the opposition controlled northwest of syria. the civil defense members are working on their own without the specialized equipment needed to deal with a disaster of this scale. i mean mostly has been i've
6:09 pm
been waiting for news of my father, my mother, brother, sister, and have fun. i talked to them and had the voices work is to rescue workers are appealing for international assistance, but the opposition controlled region is one of the hardest places to reach in syria . it's been blockaded by government forces and their allies during the course of the war, and the only lifeline has been help sent over crossings from their kia through what is now also the worst hit part of that country, the devastation and cities like i'm tucker and gussy and it makes it difficult for 8 to be brought through. the united nations says roads leading to be able, how us have been damaged or closed. it's the only crossing that can be used according to a un resolution. with the backing of russia, the syrian government has ensured all aid goes through damascus and its insisting they should continue now to as it struggles with the disaster. but critic say they don't trust serious authorities. i don't think any of the syrians refuse or
6:10 pm
mind or reject that the assad regina receive a it's just that we know for sure. he is never, never going to give the people that are in need any kind of aid. while some friendly countries have been sending a directly to damascus, much of the international community is avoiding dealing with a government sanctioned for war crimes against its own people. long accused of using aid as a weapon of war. it's now seen as politicizing, a catastrophe. blaming western sanctions for worsening the situation. a lot of the aeroplane cargo aeroplane refused to land on syrian air force because of the american and european sanctions. american and you officials insist sanctions don't affect human, terry, an aide, and say it will continue to be provided in all parts of syria,
6:11 pm
but not through the acid regime. they say most of the damage has been in the opposition controlled north, where some aid has started to trickle in. but rescue or say, it's not enough. then a footer, l. shahita beirut. on it now speak to angela canny, who's the unicef representative in syria. she's joining us live from lakia. thank you very much for speaking to us on al jazeera bis disaster, as we've seen, has added another layer to, to the suffering of the population, the northwest in syria, thousands of families, and children, in particular res. i understand. first you were in a leper yesterday to say you're an attack yet today. could you tell us 1st what that journey was like for you? what did you see on the 150 kilometers that separate these 2 cities? so essentially just ran into buildings. we stopped in the city of alma and an army of very few buildings had collapsed. but the while to last last to pots,
6:12 pm
every single person in the building was killed and either side. so it may not be the mess of destruction, but if you will, the family, it's really terrible. so we saw that and the lead i was the, when the what happened? well, the number of people who are being displaced is going up by the hour. we had asked the shocks. he was free really lot to stops this afternoon. guardians, felt that we felt that obviously as well. and this is frightening right children. frank's appearance and of course the building that were already unstable because of the main way on monday morning in the afternoon. many of those buildings are not having to be a big so the numbers themselves increases in increases to what is see immediate focus when it comes to, to helping the children and the families affected by these disasters. so so many of these children with families and schools mos changes any way that they can
6:13 pm
shelter and right now it's freezing cold. so what they need is blankets. what they need is, as few for the classrooms, we heard stories yesterday about the schools and when they had started burning the scope in it, because that's a reason. so it's actually heating. it's kind but also it's going to be medical nutrition and a psycho social support. just say the bewilderment on the faces of children. yes, they are. what a peer, we're going to be a long time. supposing us children, because of the fear of angina, as we heard in our previous report in syria, the affected area is divided between government control territory and the last opposition. how pocket of land are you? teams are unicef teams able to access all areas, whether it's in government controlled areas or rebel, how various to get to those who need you to deliver those live saving supplies that you talk. but as you hit the ball the it was closed because of that there
6:14 pm
was quite a loss of pre to the supplies that had gone on the so ab hatnus and met saw that actually able to deliver re, i'd and only have a side that we are and is we are buying a lot of stuff on the market, but also we had, we have at pre positioned and so the supplies that going up very, very quickly on monday morning we did read about and by yesterday i was getting em . but i didn't mean bother and we really date the pool of test by you, by your view as they can support a test. and you said this the way to go. a lot of countries have been offering aid, of course, to both turkey and syria. it for little less for syria because of the sanctioned via the assad government, as we know, has a history of withholding aid. how do you ensure as an organization that's working on the ground that this aid will get to the people who need it?
6:15 pm
the we with communities we work with. ringback i believe that no government organizations community grants, we were here before the it's quite and so we built up that relationship. we had some balances, we had monitoring all that. so we believe that what that checks and balances, we can guarantee that the i did is given to the united nations, it to the needs. what's the relationship like with the syrian regime? and how do you ensure that you were able to coordinate the best response on the ground? we might be working with communities because we had to manage the way of operating . and i think best the way i mean, so from what she emphasized are and what we had to do, we had a baby with the children without this relationship of monitoring and being kid. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to assange in a canny is eunice, have representative in syria joining us a from attack? yeah, thank you very much for your time. while stories of some astonishing rescues
6:16 pm
are coming in a 3 year old boy was found alive in common mash. the epicenter of the disaster in turkey or if kind was pulled from beneath rubble. after being tramps for nearly 2 days. while the united nations has been discussing, the humanitarian responds to these earthquakes. let's go live to kristin salumi, who was at the un briefing on syria in, in new york at the un headquarters there earlier. tell us about the impacts of war in series having on a delivery set. well, the united nations has been struggling to get aid to northwest syria even before the earthquake hit. this is an area controlled by opposition forces and there is only one route authorized by the un security council across the border from turkey into this area. that relief organizations under the un umbrella are authorized
6:17 pm
to use that the crossing point was not accessible yesterday. some good news today that it does appear to be back up and running, and the road coming in and out of turkey is once again accessible. but this has been a point of contention with the syrian government who believes that all age should flow through the government and a come into the area across the front line, so to speak. so the un has been working also to try to increase access to this most devastated area from the earthquake, the opposition, how the area of crossed line coming in through damascus. while at the same time using this one of our cross border point to get in. so it's a very complicated situation situation for the united nations in order to get aid to the opposition, how the areas from the government controlled areas. they have to deal with the
6:18 pm
government. they have to deal with opposition groups. they're in a conflict area. it's very challenging. so in the past, they've been looking for more points of access, but the security council has been divided on this with russia, supporting serious government, saying that all age should go through the syrian government with western countries . saying that more direct routes into this area need to happen, but they haven't happened. so right now the, the united nations is hamstrung by having just this one cross border point refund that they can use briefly. chris, in what, what are the most pressing needs according to the un so they are still looking for help with search and rescue and that is ongoing and a very limited assistance there. they need food and medical assistance, they need cold weather survival kits. luckily, some pre existing supplies were in the region, they were preposition and they've been handing those out to the most needy. but
6:19 pm
they say they're going to run out very, very soon. given the dire circumstances and the infrastructure in the area was already devastated. from years of war, long term, the water supplies heating supplies, all of that needs to be dealt with and fixed. christina salome life, or is that in new york at the united nations? we want to take you now live to taking had tie way, present our to on a speaking after visiting one of the disaster area, fellow listening, vic ludo luke between the stick that and the mother shop also would like to tank those countries for providing their support i also would like to thank each and every suzanne turkey who has come forward to have the search and rescue operations and system done in our history. we have always overcome these kinds of difficulties and i'm certain that we get all these
6:20 pm
difficult time in the best way possible. give a thought. so at the moment i need to, but just a lot more than 4000 people will give you and i apologize. 50 to talking to the 7 people out of wounded is demarus building 6144 buildings out of totally demolished. but in gender, police search and rescue. passengers are available more than 21200 people out of version some ignoble people. and in some campaigns, they say that they did not see any soldiers or john damn or police in the pen, search and rescue operations, which is a total lie of soldiers,
6:21 pm
novel and polish, are noble and doing their best. but we are not going to let us know if no of us to talk about or, or navy, you know, could be an army and the police in that might not so that shows you pattern. so if i could edit it and change them, patterson are working hard, round the clock. we have to say it could be under subsidies at more than 3 different kinds. com. so for the region, you could tell them that are at the moment more than 5000 k y'all by jewel, that a search and rescue operations out of being carried out of that out of 18 countries . such industry teams have arrived and they out of taking part in the search and
