2:05 pm
is now just a pile of rubble. it's hard. absolutely. so it's, it's, it's unfathomable, really, and what will happen, you know, to the houses and buildings that are still standing in earthquakes, those where that are among the thousands that have fallen down. well, it's a lot for the authorities to deal with what they are saying. they find the best. we know that in the and the 500 building inspectors have been sent out. now they're trying to go through building to see what is safe, what is not safe, what can be repaired, just needs to be totally pulled down. as you can, maybe you can imagine the level of destruction here is something incredible. i was walking around and talking with my produce and saying, where can we go in to get some food? where can we go in to use the bathroom?
2:06 pm
and we're in a much better condition. we can't find anywhere where one of the lucky ones we have somewhere warm to sleep in the safe at night. but the infrastructure challenges pose a problem full cost like that. yeah, there's a lot of buildings here and they a lot of them. it's not all of them look damage. so 1900 is going to take a long time to go through all these buildings and, and certify which ones the safe for people to go back to. and then if we talk about fixing them as a whole nother timeline, sammy, thank you very much for that. that is san jose down bringing us the picture from new doggie is going out to stephanie deca. she's joining us live from chill, that goes who bets at the turkish syrian border and absolutely hot breaking story scenes where us stephanie forty's, of civilians who fled the war being returned from turkey.
2:07 pm
yes, we came here to cover. what is a recently renewed aid efforts across the border in to syria from where we are? and basically what we've been seeing since we arrived is an endless stream of bodies of syrians killed in the earthquake that are being handed over into trucks put in the back of trucks and taken across the board to be buried at home. i'm not sure you're playing those pictures now, but to behind me you've got that truck waiting for more to come. we've all been stunned by the fact that it's a constant stream of bodies in black bags in white shroud that they're putting onto the truck. there is one not actually lying on the ground with nothing covering him . we spoke to the official on the other side, the syrian side, and bob, who told us that around 950 syrian, have been bodies have been handed over to be buried. at home, and this is the tragedy. if you look at the syrian story and this, these are people who fled their homes because of war. turkey hosts almost 4000000
2:08 pm
syrian refugees. they had to rebuild their lives. type province where we are, has a lot of syrian families, our own colleagues, lost family members in this earthquake were currently still working with us watching the scenes unfold here is incredibly difficult for everyone. it is a and an endless stream of death that we've been witnessing basically since we arrived here, whether it is wherever it is you go and i think this is something that's going to continue as those recovery efforts go on. but certainly the help that we've seen here in turkey, the international countries that have arrived with all of their equipment and medical teams and dogs, none of that has reached syria. syria, of course, has always been very much politicized when it comes to 8. yes, there is now renewed efforts. some of the countries will now be bringing in the aid into syria to try to get to those places. but we are now in day 6. basically, i want to retract a little bit as well about focusing again on that to recovery operation. a lot of
2:09 pm
family members, and i think this is equal whether here in turkey or in syria, still waiting for use of loved ones, but very slowly giving up hope that they will be found a life. it's difficult to convey even with these pictures, the extent of the damage here. building after building home after home street after street destroyed, one resident told us, nor doggie is no longer on the map where people remain under the rubble, the rescue operation goes on. relatives wait day and night. they sleep here under blankets that offer little protection against the bitter cold. but as the days go on, many tell us that they have lost hope. one day and goes ult, amber at the moment we are expecting for more people from our family grandfather and grandmother and granddaughter and a sister in law. when they bring them out,
2:10 pm
we will birdie them in our land. we've seen 4 bodies hold out of this building so far. 28 people remain, but all hope has been lost to find any survivors here. entire families have been wiped out in one moment. and if you drive further up the road, you're going to see the scenes being replayed again and again. the other day we are living or helena, and yet incredibly too young children are pulled out alive by a spanish rescue team. just a few blocks away. days off to the devastating earthquake they survived under heavy concrete, in freezing temperatures. these are seen as miraculous moments these days providing a rare moment of joy for every one here. as overwhelmingly it is the dead who are emerging from their homes. blankets are used to offer them and their families, some dignity. we are also not to film as the bodies are carried past us in black
2:11 pm
