promised to rebuild the cities. so as we've been hearing, some rescues have been successful in spite of fading odds. russell sardar is following the rescue operations near the epicenter of the quakes and caught her mama rush. it's the 6th day and the time is definitely running out. however, just a little i go, we have been able to confirm that 5 years or julian girl has been taken out of the rubble and she was alive and just an hour later, another girl also had pulled out of the rebels and she also was alive. so these are the, the real moments of joy to be here for the families and people around the city. so much that, that definitely is need such good news. and of course it's given also support for the families that are still waiting. however, the disaster is still on folding here,

right over there. not far from wherever you are. you can see that the rescue teams have with a white blanket over there out of respect for the families, because now they are pulling another dad body. unfortunately, in the last couple of hours, there has been several people been taken out right off each other from the same location and probably it is a family. and these are the family members. so these are the stories that are going on here just a little ago. i have told to a woman, she says that they have buried already 111 brands and relative here, bernard smith has more from intact l. it is difficult to know where to begin. such is the oh, sometimes overwhelming scale of damage that i've seen in the last week. but here, the fi you see behind me the dig, as you see behind me, art lights on them,

visit the scene all over, and takia the capital of hats. a province. the air is poisonous, is thick with smoke, from people burning fires, plus all the dust from the debris in the continued drilling down in the as they try and clear away the rubble. but there have still is some little pieces of hope. you're in the 100 and 35th hour now. since the quake started and the 100 and 33rd hour here on tacky, we had a 2 year old rescued from the rubble that was to couple of hours ago. and in the couple hours before that a man and a woman were rescued alive, of course, from the rubble. so they were, the search hasn't stopped the search as a virus hasn't stopped because there is still chance that people can be found or under the rubble. this of course, also an takia close to the syria border and ancient city formerly known as antioch, as hundreds of thousands of syrians are living here. and the government says it

actually plans to reopen the airport. here within the next 24 hours, the airport runway was badly damaged. they said they about to retire, mark that anatomy essential for getting in our flights relief flights. one of the other big problems has been the roads have been choked, not with just with people trying to leave. but with laurie's coming and going on with ambulance is coming and going. ambulances, of course, taking the wound. it's a more secure hospitals. elsewhere in the country in those those of birth, laurie's full of aid, also taking people are bringing ada in and then taking them out empty because they are the need is so desperate for 8 people are still sleeping outside a week on people still huddle round fires they just still don't have them as much as they need. the turkish government has announced plans to house earthquake survivors. seneca smuggler has been following developments from the capital anchor . people will be taking shelters in the dormitories over provided by

the government. that's. that's why universities will be closed until summer, and the dormitories that are found operate for the college students are going to be a designated for the earthquake survivors. ah, shelter is a big problem as we're talking about a big, a huge number of people hears and it, it who are hurt by this devastation are mostly women and children. and we had the chance to see 16 babies who were taken from carter ma mirage. the epicenter of this, that the earthquake to the capital on kara via presidential plane, and they have the identities. but in the office authorities haven't been able to contact their families. and we've found those 16 infants in the i see a unit in the anchor us at the hospital. ah, this baby is 35 days old. when mondays, catastrophic earthquake. it took years eastern province of co human mirage. she was

already in intensive care. and this one as well. his heart beat slow down when he's asleep. 16 infants were transferred from the epicenter in car amman, marsh, to the capitol on ker, 2 days ago. they were all intensive care, but their hospitals were evacuated either for safety reasons or to treat survivors . all of them have ideas, but the authorities haven't been able to reach their families. hustling hipson in general drama e hostel, adams, babies are in good shape. we do all to sounds with checkup purposes. one of our babies was born at 28 weeks and the other 33. following the completion of their eye examinations, people plan their discharge. and this tiny survivor was rescued from the ruins. the woman who discovered her scribbled baby oh, the rubble on her forehead, and left a note on her chest telling where she was found. 16 babies,

separated from their families, were evacuated from their home town, which now resembles a war torn city. after being rescued from the rubble, some babies were able to receive medical treatment. premature babies on the other hand, will have to remain in a sense of care. they are being attended by foster mothers appointed by the ministry of family and social services. so this will be with them. we will definitely keep a close eye on eye babies. these patients growth and development should be monitored at regular intervals in outpatient as these innocent babies fight for the lives in the i. c. u. authorities continue to search for the missing family cas older l to 0 on correct? well, across the border and rebel held northern syria, some humanitarian aid has now made its way to those who need it. stephanie tucker

has this update from the turkish syrian border. 8 is finally trickling into serial . on day 6, we've seen a un convoy go and this is part of the usual un agreement that they've had before. some of the international teams that have flowed in here to help with the earthquake are in and are starting to help out on the ground setting up tense medical facilities. but of course, if you're talking about search and rescue, it's already in the days are numbered and you know, it's a fight against time. but of course we are still hearing amazing news that you have people being pulled alive from the rubble. but of course, everything we've been focusing on here in terms of search and rescue operations recovery operations, the help is being sent. it hasn't reached syria at all on the same scale. so where's it's trickling in? and it's taking quite a while to do so. well, those who have survived in syria are struggling to stay alive due to that lack of aid that stephanie was just speaking about. xena closer, it has

a more from beirut. the search for the living has ended in northwest syria. it's now about removing the bodies trapped under the hundreds of buildings that collapse following the earthquakes as pitter kia and syria. on monday, those who responded to the human tragedy say the world failed. the people in the opposition controlled enclave. the civil defense, also known as white helmets, said people died because repeated requests for rescue support. teams and heavy machinery never came along. i have been deeply affected by the voice as we heard from under the rubble they were crying for help. in one instance, we worked for 4 hours before were able to reach a man, but it was too late. he died, destruction and devastation are not only in the opposition held areas in the north . but in heavily populated government held cities like a level hummer and lata kia as well. the united nations estimates more than 5000000

people are now homeless. we evacuated people from all the buildings that dangerous shelters have begun receiving people. it's a new wave of displacement already. there are nearly 7000000 syrians have been displaced in their own country due to the war that began more than a decade ago. many are in the north where 4000000 depended on aid before the earthquake destroyed more lives. on friday, the syrian government said it will allow aid to reach areas outside its control and what appeared to be a confession linked to a deal that involved waiving some sanctions for quake relief. but so far it hasn't happened. the states opponents have long fear the consequences of so called cross line deliveries, where the opposition in northwest syria is afraid of receiving cross line aid for many reasons. but primarily they're afraid of their regime holding that lifeline

against them. using it in the which are to coerce them into providing political concessions. 8th has started to come in from the bible, how a border with her kia, the only crossing authorized by the u. n. for 8 deliveries. the opposition says the international community should ignore objections from damascus and use more crossings to ensure the constant flow of relief supplies. already the world food program says it's running out of stocks and the opposition and clave. we're more than 90 percent of people relied on aid before the latest disaster, santa gooder, elisha zito, earl, i mean as a spokesman at the un high commissioner for refugees regional bureau for the middle east on north africa. she says, years of conflict and syria causes extra difficulties in helping survivors. most of the agent has been going to northwest area in the past few years. and even yesterday does not go through the regime areas on what you call the regime areas.

the areas controlled by the government, it goes actually from turkey and the united nations relief agencies like u. n. s. c. i had been authorized to send this humanitarian relief items like food tans blankets, all kind of really had been authorized to do so by the security council. as to that's what's happening. there is a mechanism in place then announced a un to send this release into another country from turkey without actually that bruland officer and government. now it's unfortunately, the people here are stuck in a lot of politics and that's why we call on people to put politics aside on everybody, the government, the opposition, the international community. politics needs to be set aside. we need to focus on the needs of these people on these people themselves. what, what kind of 8 do they need? how can we get them to them as soon as possible with as much aid as possible, and as many people as possible?

because many of these people live, either in far away remote areas or hot to reach areas either by this. the storm, the snow storm that had hit the region or by the earthquake that had damaged them both or by the politics. you know, syria is there so many different areas under the authority over the control of different people. and so many different crestline. we want all these barriers to be taken away and we want to be able to reach everybody that needs help. so many of them, and that's why the international community must stepped forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers. and with some put people in the support, not just today, not just next week, but the next few months. the damage is so huge that people who need months to recover. let's move on to some other world news and the un nuclear watchdog chafer . a fail grossi has wrapped up his trip to moscow, and he's hell talks of the head of russia state nuclear. from ross i, tom, they discussed the situation at ukraine's upper reach
