has exceeded 12000. we have to correspondence tracking the stories tiffany decker isn't got the on tip and to key a near the syrian border. but 1st let's go to wrestle sorta who's and carmen mirage . the if a center of the disaster and wrestle for the it's all now for every story of miraculous survival. i did must be dozens more of absolute heartbreak. absolutely. i'm in front of a rubble of collapse building. this is just one of hundreds in this city. and right over there, you can see that the rescue team is holding a blanket, trying to cover at that body because they don't want their families to see it. people are quite upset and the passion for the rescue team and the family members is going hide. emotions are quite high because almost at every 30 minutes a new that body is being taken out from this arrival and it is so

the rescue teams are telling us that there are tens of people feel under the rubble through the last night through the last 24 hours, no one has came out alive. under this cold lapse, 2 blocks here, the rescue for our frantic however, i can say that it is as of now feel that the heavy lifting machinery is, are not sufficient enough. and people are complaining about the lack of the coordination here. that is another frustration that is really that the families are suffering from. but you can see that it's not only now that the rescue teams are, are struggling with the rebels. however, there is also a fire still continuing and to the last night for the bodies that had been taken out, pulled out of the rubble, they were completely burned. so now you can see that they are trying to dig in and trying to get that the other that body as well. but over there you can see now now

they are, they are putting, putting that dead body out and they're going to take him down here. and the ambulance is a way to and then it's going to be low the, to the ambulance and being taken for the hospitals and then deliver to the families to be buried in a graveyard. this is, this is just the he of one of the, one of the hundreds here. just this is happening on a regular basis in this city. and right over there, there are also families waiting anxiously here. and you can see now just a little bit ago, i have talked to one of the families there. and an old lady told me that her daughter, a, her son and her grandchild are under the on deliverables. and she was waiting sure. seems 72 hours on the student family who received in the same

teams year. they'll have came to this city in 2014. they fill out the war in i left for in 2014 in syria. and they came to this city and made a new life and try to build a safe life here. however, the earthquake hid them here and 6, members of the same senior family are on there. there's a rabble. so this part of the stories that are going around, you can see the families rescue teams. their medical teams are all here. but by every minute passing, the hopes are the hopes are, are faded. so the turkish military has set up some, immobile some field kitchens, right on the other side of the road, and people are relying on their supply. so this as the sad victims caught them on when i was the epicenter of this disaster, it has been hit twice in 9 hours. the 1st one was $7.00 and the salmon.

second one was $7.00 magnitude just within 9 hours. and as a result, nearly a cows in buildings, how could left here, and hundreds of people have died. but the rescue teams, officials here are seeing that still probably houses are on there under the under the rubble. now you can see that i know their body has been red just over, they are discovered and they are laying down the blankets as well. and you can see that the, that the black bag is being prepared for death. but that by the as well, just so just within seconds as you are doing in his life within seconds, 2 dead bodies more are being taken. this is happening on a regular basis. it's quite a disaster here. and now did the, did the scale of the destruction is so immense in this city that the, the, despite several heavy lifting machinery is been, been, been deployed,

a trucks been deployed. and after that, the declaration of the state of a denouncement of the state of emergency and death in 10 cities now the turkish military aussies year trying to secure the order. however, it is quite difficult because it is very much widespread, just as a comparison. so that the region that has been affected by dis, earthquakes is almost equal size of the united kingdom. and according to many of their scientists jolla geologist, they say that the energy that has been released after this to earthquakes is almost equal to the energy that could be released by more than $500.00 atomic bombs. just absolutely heartbreaking us, since they're re solan to know that this is seems like this is just happening right around the region is also devastating. thank you so much. have for your reporting. we're going to go now to stephanie decker at stephanie, you're at a relief center and how a survivors coping there. and,

and the northern lingo, town of jan doris mass burials are taking place. it is one of the hardest hit areas much heavily upon had already been destroyed and serious 12 years civil war rescue if it's severely restricted, by a lack of equipment needed to move debris and fund survivors and whatnot. since the 1st div from a cousin, his wife and children, we pulled out for people yesterday, his wife and clear children. we came back today and pulled out the husband, who's my cousin. he has another son and a little louder. and now you're waiting to get them out. the bottom bottom, i have called about some company sites. after 50 hours of work, we pulled out a man and a little girl live in her room. the civil defense teams are struggling with heavy machinery due to the massive area that has been damaged. over 400 sites were destroyed completely, and over 250 sites are partially damaged. we urge the international community to

help al jazeera correspondence. her have l hall off sent us this report from england province in northern syria. will health facilities have been overwhelmed by hundreds of people needing treatment? well, i'm not going to be the most. we are here in front of the south keen hospital where the bodies of some of the victims are ready to be given to the family, but as a glimmer of hope for some we just saw some people who had minor injuries and were released off that a quick checkup and with me now is the hospital director, doctor obliged to tell us how the staff here had been dealing with the situation was not so much the situation in the hospital, a very critical whole situation as catastrophic this morning. there were more than $300.00 debts since then. they have been dozens more than we just received, a man who'd been saved from under the rubble. and this has given us hope of finding more survivors. during the last 2 days,

we also received more than 700 people away injured. we felt like the 1st day was a disaster because we have a lot of difficulties due to the huge number of victims. in addition to the wounded who came from different towns and villages around the hospital. we are grateful for the assistance provided by so many doctors from different they say, hold on, hardy. good luck on the story. and thank you dr. europe, the center of the most effective part of the border area. and we know your mission is hard. we have more details now on the age situation in syria. these are the quite affected areas. some lie outside the control of the government because of this theory concerns aid won't make it to ripple held areas. and that's being further complicated by roads around the bubble of how crossing with to keep being damaged. that link is the only way assistance can reach ribble held areas from outside syria in syria. we have and gio partners that we funded over the years that

are providing life saving assistance to those need across both countries. we've deployed, experienced emergency managers hazardous materials technicians, engineers, while decisions. paramedics planners, others along with about a 170000 pounds of specialized tools and equipment. so that's been the initial response. i'm not aware of any context between the united states government and the syrian government in recent days since the the earthquake. are you an official site deliveries of critical i'd from tickets in northern syria could resume on thursday . kristen salumi has moved from the united nations in new york. the united nations has dispatch disaster response and assessment teams and is ramping up a delivery efforts. but access to northwest syria is particularly difficult. this is technically opposition. how territory a conflict zone and the 300 you and staff already in the area are delivering what 8 they have 2 people there. but the united nation says that they were already

struggling to get enough aid in for some 4600000 people in need. before the earthquake even hits, getting aid across the front line is complicated, but the united nation says it's working with the syrian government to increase its capacity. having the coastline missions is something very complex, even before the, even before the f quick. it needed multiple levels of coordination between different bodies, security and humanitarian angels. so it's not the straightforward, it's not a straightforward operation. add to that. it's a military active zone where we have to operate in a military zone. so it's not easy. we try our best. we as on most of us said, yes, that you and has the i, b and the willingness. and the ability to do this. the still ahead on al jazeera will have all the rest of the dice news, including emergency workers in the us state of ohio. se equality near the side of

a chemical spill is now fine, but residents are still afraid to return to their homes. ah. hello, there is more stormy weather to come to southern parts of europe over the next few days. thanks to an area of low pressure. sitting across a central areas of the mediterranean, its sparked red warnings for southern parts of its the sicily, things very strong winds heavy rain and even a bit of a wintry mix there. that's going to pull down into northern areas of africa. but further north of this, the cross central air is got high pressure in charge. it's much colder than we expected to be this time of year, but still some clear skies moving through the cloud. now for the north west, it's scotland that's got warnings out for ice and snow as that system pulls its way

for these, but much milder and brighter in the south of britain and the island of island. and you can see that winter we mix pushing across norway, moving its way further east, slightly to bring some strong winds as well for the baltic states that snow edging across, finland and into western areas of russia, but a much quieter picture. further south of this, this is not the case, however, for the se, for takia and greece, bitter cold here, temperature warnings out, many of the balkan states, there is that nasty weather stretching across the mediterranean, bringing some strong winds to spain and portugal, but an improving picture by the time we get to friday with sunshine in portugal, ah, depleting the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters of the world are in india, jump into the street. they made their money on pull. they made their money on the field, convincing those folks. no, we need to go. green is very,

very difficult. giving a voice we chose to do because we wanted to escape warren violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality and break down misconceptions. the street on al jazeera lu ah, ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. the sour, the death toll from is quite into kia in syria on monday has risen to more than 16000. more than 16000 people have died. many remain on, accounted for. mass burials are taking place in a lippo and northern syria. one of the hottest hits areas rescue if it's being

severely restricted by a lack of resources needed to move debris and funds survivors. ah, ukraine's president as to, to address the european parliament and brussels later on thursday. for a lot of me, as lensky is on an unannounced visit to europe. on wednesday, he visited paris and london. he met the u. k. prime minister, the french president and the german chancellor. so lensky asked e u. countries to st. fighter jets and more weapons to ukraine. manuel micron assured him of frances, full support. louisiana perkins. this will have horse ukraine can count on france, european partners and its allies to win the war. russia cannot and must not win. as long as it attacks, it will be necessary for us to continue to adapt and modulate the military support necessary to preserve ukraine. and if teacher on the 5th, the gems both joins us live from inside the european parliament in brussels. and

what are we expecting to hear from the landscape today? well, zelinski took off from paris since the top of the. so in the last 7 or 8 minutes on his way here to proselytize, he is visiting 1st the european parliament were expecting him here to give a speech to m e p. s. now it's very different from the speech he gave almost a year ago. he spoke to the european parliament on the 1st of march last year, which was just 5 days after the russian invasion. i was here at the time and i have to tell you the feeling that was was so let's see. got to survive. busy was keep going to fall to the russians, was the whole country going to come on the russian control? clearly things have moved on a long way from that moment. but the cranium still very worried. i think as the winter comes to a close of the possibility of a new russian offensive,

so the message from president, let's see, it's going to be thank you very much for your support, but we want and we need more and that more that talking about as they've already now got the commitment from europe off to quite a controversial process, particularly from the german side with those napa twos tanks. the commitment is to supply main battlefield tanks. now the list he's asking for is long range missiles, but also fight to jets. and that certainly was a commitment he obtained in the u. k. when he was chatting to the u. k. prime minister. certainly to get training for flight 2 jet pilots, good actual fight to jets. that is the thing that he would like next along with those long range missiles to be making, i think, not cool here in the european parliament. clearly the other thing that you create months long term is to be a member of the european club to be an you member,

i'm when he fishes here at the european parliament, very short a journey in his convoy across town, less than half a kilometer or so away to european council, that's where the $27.00 leaders of the european union are all gathering in facts out. we've seen the 1st arrival lauer right deep uh, the estonian prime minister speaking to reporters just moments. go and president's lensky once he's left here at the parliament. i think we'll, we will be making some of the same points in public and then in much more detail in private to those european leaders as the day goes on him. okay, thank you very much, james. i'm sure will be speaking to you throughout the day. jem space for us in brussels. oh supports for you. crime was also discussed in the us. rosalind jordan has more. the main reason, of course, for the meeting between antony blank and and young salton berg was the ongoing war between russia and ukraine. the nato secretary general said that it was incumbent

upon countries not just belonging to nato, but world wide, to stand up and to stand by cave side because of the historical threat that could be posed if russia were to prevail. this is young, stolen berg, the nato secretary general. if student wins, it would be a tragedy for ukraine. but it will also be dangerous for all laws. it will send a clear message, not just to put in, but also to older authoritarian regimes. that when they use force, they can achieve their goals. that will make the world more dangerous, and all a wells more vulnerable. begging is watching closely and learning lessons that may influence its future decisions. so what happens in europe to they could happen in asia to moral ukrainian officials,

are now pressuring the west for, in particular the united states to provide the ukranian air force with f. 16 fighter jets, the president volota mer zalinski argues this is critical to helping the ukrainian military defend their country and eventually prevail in the war. however, antony blank and said that so far the u. s. his view is that f sixteens aren't required for ukraine, but that the u. s. and other countries are committed to giving ukraine what it needs in order to win in this war. a north korean leader kim jong and has hosted a military parade in the capital. pyongyang had marked the 75th founding anniversary of north korea's army. troops rolled out the lightest hardware of kim's fast growing nuclear arsenal. rob mcbride has more as the 1st major military parade of this yet this show of hardware seems to confirm north career and it's leader kim jong on are still embarked on the same path of weapons development that we saw from

last year 2020, to witnessing an unprecedented flurry of missile activity with around 80 ballistic missiles being launched from north korea, of particular interest on this parade were some of the longer range intercontinental ballistic missile icbm, the type of weapon capable of reaching the united states at which north korea began testing again last year after a break of several years, also on display in this parade was one type of icbm which north korea claims to be powered by solid fuel engines, which would be a particular development, a particular advance and it's missile technology. both careers also though, been putting a lot of effort into its development of its austell of short range ballistic missiles, which it says are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. and i'll see that the

direct threat to naval such as south korea, south korea in return has promised a tough response working with its allies, japan and the united states. coming after a particularly challenging period of pandemic isolation, food shortages on top of the years of international sanctions. parades like this are seen as being an important way for north korea to show its defiance to the outside world. and for the regime itself to show its own people that it is still very much in charge. towns and large slides of land and several bolivian states continue to be submerged by heavy floods. torrential rains pounded the eastern regions of the country on monday. at least 2 people have died and more than 55000 people are displaced. the prison visited the town of swan, san juan on tuesday, where he assist the damage and delivered government aid for the victims. were governor of the us state of ohio has lifted an evacuation order for residence of

but owner karen christian says she remains skeptical about returning. i'm worried about what's in my duck system. what's in my furnace filters? what, what seeped in through the old building cracks? what's in my water? you know, am i going to let them drink water that i don't have tested in that i don't know is fine. government scientists say tests show the air is now safe to breathe. they say during the burn off chemicals did contaminate streams killing some fish, but did not appear to impact drinking water. we understand that this incident caused an interruption and inconvenience in not in all of our lives. however, we came together as a community, but safety 1st boarding would very well could have been a tragedy of epic proportions. 84 year old gladys king is still worried on, but i think the older people live, excuse me, affected i've had pneumonia twice and i'm sure it's gonna affect one long. for now
