response after the earthquake. the convoy consists of 6 trucks loaded with sanitary material, blankets, and other items that will be delivered to one of the organizations that operates in the liberated areas of an organization that is a partner of the when in order to be delivered to our people need in those areas where the text president has been visiting effected areas. trust that top one has called for unity of to been criticized for the government's response to the disaster rescues like this one, getting fewer into here more than 16000 people have died. many remained unaccounted for. let's go now to russell said i, who's in the carman marsh, the epicenter of the disaster. and so wrestle the bunch of course, goes on for survivors, but time is not running out. absolutely, the time is running out. now. i am in front of a collapsed block here. this is just one of the hundreds in, in this city,

the work, the rescue air force or steel continent. you can see that the heavy lifting machineries are still digging into there that the rubble there. and hopefully, trying to find some people at least alive. however, this blog is collapsed building has been a graveyard. through the last 24 hours, thousands of people have been taken out from under the rubble of bath, all of them. unfortunately, we're a dad. so, and on the other hand, it's not only the rabo, a fight also has continued since the beginning of the earthquake here. and last night for bodies that have been pulled out from under the rubble were completely burned. so it is a tragedy unfolding in front of us here. so in the morning, i met an elderly woman as she was with her to blanket and in that freezing cold, waiting here she said that has been more than 80 hours that she's waiting because

her son, her daughter in law and her grandchild was, were under the rubble and unfortunately when the sun was setting in the city per 2nd, shadows the air because the rescue teams got out her a psalms by the however, he was not alive, it was quite heartbreaking when seen her see her screaming so painfully. this is the story off tans of hum that is or people here i met or cecilia family here in the same place with and with that he there. and they also have their 6 relative steel on that. the rubble that serial family came to turkey in 2014. they fill out the war in syria and they came to city of common mirage to make a new essay for life. however, the earthquake here has just caught them, and 6 of them are under this rob,

just behind bears block that you can see there is another horton also completely level down. and there were tons of people in that hotel. however, in the morning, an italian citizen who was wisdom, the city was thin and that in the, in, in, in that hotel and he passed it to his wife in italy. so after that, the rescue team stepped up. they are risky, air force and rescue dogs are so got some smell and that the officials here are seeing that probably 10 people are in the basement of that hotel and maybe still alive. and now the rescue teams are digging holes, trying to made the weight below, and hopefully to take that hand people out alive than just way who were prepared for his lives or so we received. a news is not confirmed yet, but nearly 90 hours later, in a town in the city, ended in the province of carmen mirage for people in an elevator. they had been rescued a life. so it's not, i'm not confirmed at this moment, however,

this city definitely desperately needs such news because the tragedy is unfolding everywhere. that is, everywhere. pain is everywhere. people are trying to cope with their new life with the of the math, with the consequences of this tragic events disaster here there for waited foods, there shelters here. but the life and the death are so much intertwined here where people are receiving foods. they can see the dead bodies are just laying down next to them. so the life and the dad are just going hand in hand in the see that this is just one of beside the scenes the tragic scenes here. but there are times of the others. and also not far away from us, there is a tan city that has been set up by the authorities after the earthquake, nearly 3000 people are now caught in that 10 city as home. so each tant has roughly around 15 people. i was just there and people are for white at the food at the one

close, however, he did the residence of this new cancer. he, they're telling us that during the, that the night times, particularly it is freezing, called. the called is extreme, and they are struggling, boardman, particularly children, also a math and nurse. there she does, she and her friend, they may just, they built a makeshift hospital and they said they are really struggling with path dire conditions here. and they are searching for the collapse pharmacies to get the medicines, hopefully out of that and bring them to people to help people. so this city, city of carmen matters, the premise of carmen mirage has been hit twice in 9 hours by the earthquake. the 1st one was 7.8, and the 2nd one was 7.5 magnitude. so that the level of the scale of the, the destruction here is immense. that will torches. the rescue teams are really struggling to make the ways. however, after all, nearly 90 hours,

the hopes, unfortunately in the city are fading. russell, thanks to their to wrestle server. this crescent bernice smith's in is clarendon on a turkish merry with mediterranean coast. cheyenna a scanner on her city of a quarter of a 1000000 people. we want to show you how, where i'm standing, looked before to how it looks. now it took this off her streets view that shows you the normal life just feel a few days ago taken by the girl girl st. maps before the earthquake stroke and how it looks now i am standing on the remains of those buildings that you see in the picture. they have earlier on today managed to pull her 3 people alive out of the building behind me. that is why there is they are still clinging on to hope every now and then work stalks around me here. a whistle is blown. recall goes out for absolute silence because people think they may have heard somebody deep under

ground in the buildings of a lot of nothing while we've been here unfortunately. but they are still clinging to their hope. the problem is they've been so much destruction and so much stress on the facilities the turkish government can provide but they can't get to every building quickly and we walk past areas where the fillings are just completely pancakes. and if there's any chance of finding people underneath, it's just taking a long time to get to them. we'll turkish government is working to install temporary homes to shelter those left homeless. government says the emergency measure would help manage the crisis. center console reports from disaster management center in anchor. did you do like lemme lease deal? do all 3, any recommendation o h bond that are they are? do they have the equipment or a cook? this is a turkish disaster management agencies. crisis center in the capital anchor nationwide relief is being coordinated here. days after 2 earthquakes hit 10 cities with more

than 13000000 inhabitants. these officers are distributing aid and supplies to survivors and deploying rescue teams across an area of more than 100000 square kilometers. whether you are there for me, because of gainesville, georgia, it is difficult to manage an earthquake of such magnitude an impact. we may not have got everywhere, but we are aware of it. however, 100000 people are working tirelessly in these 10 affected cities. mosquito finest experts say mondays disaster was worst inland. shallower earthquake. oh the 21st century. menaced fractures built over 200 kilometer long fault line collapsed. the government's initial response was seen by many as inadequate a fact acknowledged by present rays of type out on the scale of the disaster. and the criticism on clara has gone under force response are likely the most challenging task. the governing a party has face during is 21 you in power as circus citizens pledge donations to

help those in need. international aid is pouring in, managed by a unit within a foreign ministry. temporary shelters are being greatly welcomed from the arc other. paul, but we have received help and offers of aid from 95 countries. 56 deliveries are already in the field. more will arrive from 19 others were engaged with international institutions where also coordinating aid from turkish citizens living abroad, that these contributions are transferred to the turkish red crescent, and disaster management agency. i am at harsh winter conditions. time is running out for many traps, survivors, people are calling on a government to do more and in a country with a history of earthquakes, it is also accused of being unprepared for such a disaster. even though the scale of this one has shocked many seen am console of al jazeera, encore un secretary general intended to terra, says his hg full visit,

took it, and syria this weekend, and assess what's needed there and see how the united nations can help flaw with brian kristen ciriani from un headquarters in the old kristen 1st up just gives an update on humans relief efforts with united nations as working with the governments of takia and syria with providing disaster assistance relief teams. although the one on its way to syria has yet to get in, it is still waiting for visas to get there. this is a challenging area of syria to get access to. it was a difficult even before the quake struck. not only is it a disaster zone now, it was and is a conflict zone where aid was a lifeline for 4 and a half 1000000 syrians, even before the earthquake hit, also and southwest turkey, there are some 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees. so the united nations,

it is very familiar with this situation on the ground there. the good news is they've gotten sticks truck loads of relief supplies across the border. now i in syria crossing from the bible. holla, crossing point from turret kiya in the u. n. is working with the syrian government to increase a deliveries coming from damascus, crossed the front lines into this, a hard head area. but they'd also like to see more cross border aid from other neighboring countries as well. in order for that to happen, they need either syrian government position a permission or a resolution from the security council. and earlier today, the secretary general called 4 countries to put people 1st. this is the moments of unity itself. the moment sir, to politi sizable to divide, but it is obvious that so we need massive supports and so i would be of course,

very happy if the civic also could reach a consensus to allow for her more crossing sir, to be used as re, needs also to increase our capacity to deliver on cross line operations into it leap from the the most de. so far, syria has not granted permission from more cross border points, citing their national sovereignty and the security council prior to the earthquake . i had not been able to authorize more border crossings because of russian opposition. russia acting on syria's behalf there. but in addition to access, of course, the united nations needs more resources to deal with such a huge humanitarian crisis. that's why relief chief martin griffiths will be heading to the area this weekend into syria,

as well as her kia to assess the full needs of the damage. and then there will be a flash appeal after that to raise money to address those needs and the amounts are likely to be huge. the yearns already released 25000000 in emergency response funds, but to put it in context, last year, the u. n. was already asking for 10 and a half $1000000000.00 to deal with humanitarian needs in syria. so you can imagine how dire the situation is going to be and how large the amount is going to be after an assessment is done. date is just devastating. all right, kristen thinks that kristen, so even though in yield let's move on to other news now and in democrats are publicly congo m. 23 fight is closing in on the east and ton of soccer. just 25 kilometers to the provincial capital of gamma. residents have already started fling the town the m $23.00 on group reemerged last year after a decade of inactivity. earlier,

so be able to send signals back. and therefore the decision was taken a by the white host with the department of defense to shoot at don't where it was safe to do so. but one republican senator, susan collins as the living senator on this subcommittee says this was a clear violation, and the u. s. needs to get answers. this was not a harmless weather balloon, somehow blown wildly. of course, as the chinese have claim, this was a serious and blayton a tan bag. the chinese tick collect valuable data. no, the decision was taken to shoot it down within territorial waters, just off the south carolina course last weekend, within 10 kilometers and big salvage operation. is no underway, some of the equipment has already been recovered, but it spread over a wide area, so it will take some time before they can put it all together. what is clear though,

is that they are looking at who manufactured various parts of this balloon. and the white house has said very recently that it will take action against any entity who is involved with these balloons, which clearly means that our sanctions in the pipeline, once this investigation is complete. or alan, thanks a lot to unofficial there in washington dc. the current president has received a standing ovation at the european parliament and addressed rampaged fundamental lensky, thank leaders for their support in ukraine's board with russia automatic editor james base reports now from brussels. on the 3rd stage of his brief surprise, european tour after trips to london and paris president zalinski flew with the french president, emanuel mackerel to brussels in the capital of european union. he was again repeating the same message. thanks for all your help. but ukraine still needs more
