a serious danger. the buildings can collapse. as time goes on, the prospect of finding any one alive under these crushing layers of concrete fades . and suddenly a sound of hope and in silence that hope only grows. they think they heard a sound. some people believe it's a small girl. but the silence doesn't last for the moment. that hope is lost. stephanie decker al jazeera cassie ant up. people are also asking why some buildings that were supposed to be quake proof didn't withstand tremors. bernard smith reports from ash unless there's a chance. some one might be alive, so these rescuers must work carefully. but quickly. volunteers help clear the debris about 40 people lived in these apartments. in the center generally offer in

southeast and turkey belongings recovered from the rubble and neatly piled up in case there are survivors to reclaim, fall should you know, i just live here in the next building. i walked my wife up when the earthquake hit went outside and from this market. at 425, this building collapsed. i saw it with my own eyes. my wife fainted. 47 hours later, a 4 year old boy was pulled out a line. he had fallen into a supermarket on the ground floor and said he survived and biscuits water the digging goes on until every now and then work stops. and a coal goes out. does anyone hear my voice? they shout? no look, this time pulling some one alive out of the rubble so long after the initial earthquake, you have to imagine that gives the rescue teams a renewed sense of hope. but as the hours drag by those lucky brakes are going to

be harder to come by. but many people are asking why this building collapsed when those around it didn't. all were built after 2007 resident st. pat's where new laws came in, making quite proof structures mandatory. i shall take that on that and it hit us from wall to wall as we were leaving the building, it hit us again on the stairs. thank god, we are alive. but this building had already collapsed on the resident, say the supporting pillars of a ground floor. supermarket had been removed to create more floor space after north quake in october 2020. a judge accused a supermarket chain of doing this, but prosecutor say it was impossible to prove any evidence was lost in the deborah bernard smith, al jazeera jennifer se in turkey with turkish president jupiter. edwin has acknowledged shortcomings in his government's response, but insists it would have been impossible to prepare for such a disaster. was only glare of her then on the 1st day and we experienced some

issues, but then on the 2nd day and today the situation is under control code will never allow our citizens to be left on the streets. what i'm asking, are people not give the provocateurs an opportunity only pay attention to the statements coming from the disaster management all 30 today is the time of unity on solidarity. or twitter has been restricted across turkey following online criticism of the government's response to the disaster. anchor says the platform was being used to spread disinformation, some from fake accounts were critic say the restrictions will hamper efforts to get aid to people. if i circle name reports from east amble, opposition figures, non governmental organizations and academics are blasting. this our parent restriction, one person tweeted, he's an opposition figure on a day when communication saves lives. how can there be restrictions? what kind of ineptitude bear in mind that turks have been using twitter to try to locate their loved ones?

the government has not responded directly to this allegation, but since i arrived on monday, the government has been banging the following drum saying, do not rely on quote, propaganda or mis information on social media. only turn to a official government sources. let's look here is working on opening it to more border gates with syria to enable the flow of humanitarian aid. the main routes used by the u. n. is damaged on the ground in syria. rescue as a struggling to reach some of the worst hit areas. then offer the reports to maggie . so now i'm going to get a 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. had on the job was, was, was, it was my d, a laugh tells rescuers that her siblings and mother are dead under their destroyed

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 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 ear officials insist sanctions don't affect humanitarian aid and say it will continue to be provided in all parts of syria, but not through the 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 they're elisha theater. they wrote. but al jazeera correspondent, so have our laugh sent us this report from it live province in northern syria. health facilities have been overwhelmed by hundreds of earthquake victims in need of treatment or m. arjuna and madeira. let live billy and moustache for doctor we are here in front of the south cane hospital where the bodies of some of the victims are ready to be given to their families. now where there's a glimmer of hope for summer,
