broken cities within weeks. he's denied accusation. the building codes were not properly enforced. meanwhile, tens of thousands, without shelter across turkey and syria, and many are sleeping out in the cold. turkey state media report 48 people have been arrested for looting in total more than 29000 and now known to have died of 24000 of those were in turkey and more than 4 and a half 1000 in syria. but that figure is expected to arrive. what happened here? on monday, the epicenter of the earthquake was the worst event in 100 years. in this region, we have a clear plan tomorrow the next day to give an appeal for a 3 month operation to help the people to talk with you. my attorney said we will do some similar one for the people to syria. well, we have a team of correspondence following this story. asset bag is in a stumble. some is they done is in no di,

stephanie decker is that the syrian border and sent him concealed who is in the capitol ankara. racial said off isn't car man mirage. the epicenter, the 2nd quake, we begin with bernard smith in attack. yes. the only heat, the only warmth in the city comes now from the fires made from the debris of the homes where these people, once lived, survivors cling onto the hope that somehow their loved ones may still be alive under the rubber. well hasn't good tech in that means his wife, 3 children and mother in law, take each other. we don't need food aid. what we need is technical aid. i need my 3 kids to be rescued, even if only one of my kid survived. it will be a hope for me to continue living. otherwise there's no point to keep on living. i don't know what i'll do. who will call me dad during age street after street, district after district. it took just 2 minutes of the earthquake to cause all this destruction. it's the most devastating,

quaking turkey since $939.00. building regulations have come a long way since then. but enforcing them is a different matter. before the last presidential and parliamentary elections, the government grunted amnesty for building code violations. finding companies instead. now a 1000000 people are homeless and untouched. here most of the city of 400000 has been destroyed. the challenge now for the government is trying to stop this catastrophe. turning into a public health crisis, the sick with smoke and dust. there is no sanitation. people are still living on the streets and their body still under the rubble bodies. why there is such an urgent need to get people away from the disaster site and into temporary tented accommodation. there are now fewer visible rescue operations here. mother. unfortunately, my country, which i love so much, has failed, so disorganized and can't work at all. is the 6 day and every day to different

teams take part in the rescue. i haven't seen any officials here, neither from the government nor from the mayor's office. i don't want to say them anyway. they don't come here because they know we don't want to see them. this is was left of the home hassan had made with his family michel number that would be an imaginable pain of losing a child or loved one. is being felt by tens of thousands of people, inter kia this week, bernard smith, al jazeera and takia. well, as we've been hearing, some rescues have been successful in spite of fading odds out 0. rachel said, i've been following rescue operations near the epicenter. the quakes and carmen rush is the 6th day and the time is definitely running out. however, i'm just a little i go. we have been able to confirm that at 5 years old syrian girl has been taken out of the rubble and she was alive and just an hour later,

another girl also has been pulled out of out of the de robles and she also was arrive alive. so these are the, that the real moments of joys today here for the families and people around the city has seen so much that, that definitely it needs such good news. and of course, it's given also a support of full to the families that are still waiting. however, the disaster is still on full din here, right over there. i'm not far from where we are. you can see that the rescue teams how i put a, a white blanket over there out of respect for the families, because now they are pulling another dat body. unfortunately, in the last couple of hours, there has been several people been taken out right after each other from the same location and probably it is a family and these are their family members. so these are the stories that are

going on here, just a little i go, i have talked to a woman, she says that they have married already $111.00 brands and relatives here. meanwhile, turkish police have detained 12 people to the collapse buildings in the southeastern provinces of gaussian tip and sandy of those taken into custody included building contractors. acid bag has more from istanbul of a hearing around 12 people have been detained about the construction of these buildings and the 2 of those stan bull, no one of those individuals magnet, just going, he's responsible for the construction of a 12 story building and i tried to run $250.00 apartments and that building came down during the earthquake. now he was detained for 2 is getting ready to leave. one to negro hasn't touched on him, which was confiscated by authorities, anything indictment or just release to the media here. he says that he's buildings

follow the regulations that he doesn't know why the building came down the has the building still standing and that he had followed those regulations. but the public prosecutor has also protect your pension orders on 29 of the individual surrounding the construction of buildings. that questions are being off of the government. all been asked of the government here around those building regulations and the standards of construction. now back in 2018, there wasn't, i'm going to be around the building regulations. in some cases, people just paid a fine and experts had warned about those standards in the event of an earthquake. now those questions continue to remain in the government. deny that building regulations were ignored, but this question will continue to remain as the weeks and months go on. but let's go to another of turkey as worst hit towns. now 0 sum is down and has been talking to survivors in nor dye it's a really cold night out here, as you can see, and some of the displays to having to do well whatever they can to stay warm

burning. basically whatever they can get their hands on. and over there you can see a rubble building. well, that's the reason why at least some of them are out here right now. that was their home. now, the having defends themselves to a certain extent, help is reaching them. we've just seen some meals delivered and so on. but it's a cold night. going to ask me if i can warm up here. it's an abilene mas sooners than most certainly, well don't talk to i'm a chalk, so walk shall not really. sure. so no child. i was asking her to really cold night. how is she living out here? yeah. mccloud. yeah, that's funny and that kinda funny little. yeah. we'll talk she could okay. mr. lee to kim has told me about

across the border. they came here to flee war and had to restart their lives all over again. many syrians decided to resettle here in hattie province, which is one of the areas that's been hardest hit. the man holding the paperwork, drives them across the border into syria. he also didn't want to talk on camera. he works 20 hour days. he tells us most syrians who fled the war will tell you that they dream of one day finally, being able to return back home. but not like this. stephanie decker al jazeera on the turkish syrian border, will have several powerful aftershocks. since monday, tremors are also being recorded in neighboring countries. experts, according for more quality control, during construction of buildings, to reduce risks in the quite prone region. so them, cassandra has borne out from anchor hutch continue seismic data. vital input to measure earthquakes, it is monitored, processed,

and assessed in real time. here at a turkish disaster management agency. turkey has had some 5 major seismic fall plants risking 71 percent of its population and 6 to 6 percent of its landscape, the largest. so those triggered to stronger earthquakes and monday, causing death and destruction in the east. and while we're speaking were shaken twice by tremors above 4.0 magnitude. this is part of life here. now, holland, after so some blood no longer the off, aftershocks were, were 3 points quite before martin to deceive him up as a sick us will continue for much longer. we are reevaluating the magnitude dimensions of the affected area. earthquake in line with the information from our field to to go to this amazon. what we see is a much bigger disaster. brimley anticipated a halt yet for the other. this means the damage structures can still collapse,

rude. i mean, as a spokesman for the you and the high commissioner for refugees, she says, years of conflict and syria have caused extra difficulties and helping survivors. most of the 8 that has been going to north west 30 in the past few years. and even yesterday, does not go through the regime areas or what you call the regime areas is controlled by the student government. it goes actually from turkey and the united nations relief agencies like you and i see i had been authorized to send this humanitarian underneath items like food tans blankets, all kind of really had been authorized to do so by the security council. so that's what's happening there. is a mechanism in place that allows you to send this release into another country from turkey without actually that google 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 8 as possible, and as many people as possible? because many of these people live, either in far away remote areas or hard 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 or 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 step forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers and with support. people need support not just today, not just next week,
