1:07 am
band of swore across north east from syria, an air of despair and helplessness is taken over this if you hear me. hello la, we still have hundreds of families trapped under the rubble, including 16 of my own cousins, along with their wives and children. we can see what we know of the bodies of our relatives right under these roofs where there is nothing we can do to collect them and at least bury them. civil defense teams are doing their best, but we need modern machinery to remove the debris. medical workers are also calling for help. oh no, we're dealing with quite a lot of dead bodies and injured people. we send the bodies to selah moon and the wound to sal keen for treatment. we provide emergency care for the wounded, but we have a huge deficit in medicines and other essential medical equipment. in the city of aleppo, hundreds of residential buildings not survived more than a decade of air bombardment of succumb to the f quick. those that still stand are
1:08 am
being inspected. some people have been evacuated from their homes for safety harbor . second number ha, green. this is where we live in that building over there. around 415, a powerful earthquake hit apart. we managed to get out with the children's up of them. when we got out, we saw this building collapsed before our eyes, vertically. we were evacuated for safety reasons because we share a wall with the building that collapsed at the border with turkey, truckloads of bodies of refugees who fled syria are being taken back highly because food brought the body of his 5 year old niece, his name to be taken to celia for burial, she and her father died after being trapped for 3 days under arrival in the border town of kitty han as goos scribbled her name on the body bag and asked her to pass his greetings to the rest of the family members who died in the quick, they had left syria flee death at the hands of the syrian army,
1:09 am
but they couldn't escape it in turkey. hom advisor. i'll just yell of all this. i'm john by david miller been president of the international rescue committee and a former u. k. foreign minister, many thanks for joining us. so as we heard there, the 1st you and aid convoy has finally crossed into northern syria. this of course must be the tip of the iceberg of what's needed in terms of 8. yes, i think that's the message from the 400 class international rescue committee staff on the ground who are morning to colleagues by the way, who were killed in the earthquake on monday. the message from them is that there are desperate needs and of course the 1st priority is to bring people out of the rubble. but as that becomes less and less likely to save, life is vital to attack the threats to life that come from the freezing cold, from the lack of medicines to address illness and to treat injury from the lack of
1:10 am
blankets. another humanitarian essentials, a but also to address the cash needs of some people who be left with virtually nothing as a result of this falling tragedy. and how or 8 rescue groups even able to function in what i suppose is essentially ungoverned space. given that you have the problem of government and rebel held areas. yes, we are working in the north west of syria, which is a rebel held area. it's an active conflict zone. $150.00 civilians were killed last year during fighting that were bombing raids in january from the syrian government and it's russian supporters. so our approach is very simple. we're a neutral humanitarian organization. we work with the local authorities in the north west of the country. we can't rely on what are called cross line deliveries of a that means cross conflict line from the damascus held areas through into the north west of the country. so we have to rely on the cross border crossings which come
1:11 am
from north south that come from turkey, and which are also impeded by the rid reduction in border crossings from $2.00 to $1.00 as a result of the gridlock in the un security council, the russian veto a couple of years ago. so our approach is very much to work with what we find. we employ local people. we're able to get on with our work without interference or corruption. and that's very important. and we're able to put money to good use of the different appeals that are on the way at the moment, could be a real benefit to us in helping to expand our services above all of real benefit to our clients. of course, the ability there are huge sensitivities about getting aid into the country a tool. i mean syria formerly requested assistance and lee you 2 days after the earthquake through something called the civil protection mechanism. but how will that work, given all the political tensions with the syrian leadership? will the syrian government has had 12 years to deliberate into the north west of the country. and as the u. s. at the general reported in the discussion in january
1:12 am
at the un security council that there's really been minimal cross line a. now there are people in government held areas of syria, aleppo, for example, in some way to the west of a lab. they need help. and the 2nd crossing that i was talking about the, about how our crossing alongside the bible sour crossing that 2nd crossing could be a real lifeline for those in need in the government held area. and so i think there is some joining up to be done here, but the, the shouldn't really be geo politics and humanitarian aid. we're talking about survival being success of for people given the extraordinary needs that exist and ok, of course, about survival. there are huge concerns now about a secondary crisis in both turkey and syria, as people struggle without power, water, and sheltering cold conditions. what's the response been like to that?
1:13 am
yes, it's desperate situation really though you won't help vocalization call it a secondary crisis because a secondary disaster because it's obviously the 1st is aster, was the earthquake. it, that itself was piled upon 10 years of agony for the people of syria given the civil war. but the secondary crisis is a crisis disease. it's a crisis of untreated wounds. it's a crisis. the people freezing in the that the cold in the open air. now one and a half to $2000000.00 syrians are internally displaced from within the country. and our intented settlements, and you can just imagine the kind of exposure they have given what the earthquake, the ravage that the earthquake has done across this part of the country. and obviously in turkey, the problem was, buildings fully on people in, in syria is even more basic, is that they don't have the means to survive. and so there are real needs organized on the turkey side, disorganized on the syrian side. but both all human tragedies,
1:14 am
like i say in many ways when it comes to life in northern syria, people have been looking the other way on, conflicts elsewhere in the world. is it your belief that what we're seeing unfold in syria, the moment will potentially help galvanize international support for refugees and others in need going forward? well, it's a cruel reminder that forgotten crises are not resolved. crises, we talk in our emergency watch list for 2023, which syria appears on about a weakening of the guardrails against disaster. and that's against catastrophe. and that's precisely what happened here. you can see the people living right on the edge. they got very little to protect them when disaster strikes and that's why it's such a catastrophe. that it should happen in an area where the protections for people are so weak. and it's a cruel reminder that these forgotten crises are not resolved. and they do need the world's attention, however important is ukraine or afghanistan. all the financial problems are home.
1:15 am
david miller, band or president of the us national rescue committee. many thanks for joining us. of course, thanks a lot. that was mentioned earlier, the earthquakes have left hundreds of thousands of people. homeless hotels around turkey have been throwing open their doors to those with know where to go. and the turkish government is working to find temporary shelter for them from the antenna. stephanie decker reports. this is the living tragedy. more than 300000 people in government shelters many more sleep elsewhere. thus were people here. we lost our homes with our neighbors. this is very, very difficult, very difficult. people are helping each other, and this man collected milk from farmers and his come here to hand it out for free . okay. love to put in a bit. we will be bringing seats and pastries too. we are doing this by ourselves, by our own will. this is the long term problem,

1:17 am
