2:05 pm
difficult conditions. ah, ah, ah! people digging desperately through the rubble with their bare hands, ah, engendering the northern syria rescue as from the white helmet group, held out a young baby who being cradled in the arms of her dead eldest sister, rather go with her. and his 1st light broke the scale. if the disaster became clear we have our correspondence. joining us from the abbey centers of the 2 earthquake, stephanie decker is then come on, morris. but 1st let's go to sammy nay. as a dan who is in nor day, sammy 7 days since that devastating earthquake struck, still, families are clinging to hope of the loved ones can be found alive. yes, clinging. so hope and right behind me we understand in the rubble there. 14 people are tracked. we hope they are alive,
2:06 pm
follow them. one of them was rescued matter of hours ago so that keeping hope alive, it's very 10 surrounding. got count on jobs and kind of around and show you the relatives of so those 14 people that camped out here, they've got 5 going trying to keep not only hope alive, but trying to keep themselves going and the bitterly cold day here. you can, you can see the tension and sadness on the faces as a way let's get the drone off. if we can give you an idea of the. busy area we're talking about literally, everywhere your eyes sees is destruction. every building, every house is the, the destroyed or has some damage. it's a, it's a really tough situation, but the scene explains the numbers when we talk about as 1000000 dead,
2:07 pm
37000 dead. more than 90000 injured between to kill and syria, hundreds of thousands of building on inhabitable, as the president took care. this is what the devastation looks like. but against all odds, some people have been pulled out of the rubble and we're hoping for more good news . we had some good news when an 18 year old girl, sad that was pulled out of the rubble behind me, followed by some really sad news when her sister jet on was pulled out of the rubble too, but not alive. and this really shows us the emotional rollercoaster that people are living through and then continuing to live through one week on the challenge of your loved ones. the challenge of staying warm is the challenge. now building up of sanitation, how do you keep yourself clean? there are many toilets,
2:08 pm
you can go into any buildings left standing to use the toilet because they're not safe. now government health has been arriving here, but still this, it's a walk to find a pulls the cabin toilet and it's a queue when you get there. what about showered? so a lot of issues that are going to increasingly become more challenging now. as the days go by one week on after this type of a moline some is aiden, a thank you for now. as speaking to was there from nevada painting, a brother leak picture from there, but they all reasons for optimism. as sammy was saying, also in kut amendment, us where a rescue operation is under way where to free a mother and her newborn child who are apparently still alive off to being trapped under the rubble for 7 days. now let's go to all correspond stephanie deca, who was next to the building with our rescue is taking place stephanie, that rescue going on now for about a day, i believe,
2:09 pm
which shows the challenges in getting people out alive. it is incredible, difficult work. what they're doing here, that there's a team of minors operating now you can see them standing down latham of the turkey, john, not just in our shop, with their tunneling through this shop. i basically where we believe to people, it is ready to be a mother and a child. there was a 3rd person believe to be a grandmother. they're not sure whether she is alive, but we've been told by the miners on the spanish who these are thermal imaging that they've identified for sure. 2 people alive ebony to be in a 7 story building that clap ab about 2 buildings to the back of where you see they're working. they are now tunneling from 2 angles from the side behind me, from another site to try and get to the area where they are believed to be, but it is extremely dangerous work whole. so last night we felt it in got the on
2:10 pm
them or were staying to earthquakes off to shock over $4.00 that damaged some of the um, the actual tunnels that they were building, as they had to start again. but to the head of the miners was just talking to us saying that they believe according to their information. they may be 2 or 3 meters away from where they are believed to be sheltering. they're also saying they're concerned about them, potentially forwarding down an elevator shaft. it's incredibly difficult and sensitive work, which is why it's been going on now for 24 hours. you've got ambulances here, you've got medics here. you have the relatives here who are extremely emotional, of course, for them 7 days on hoping for good use. but of course the good news is, thermal imaging has identified it. i was just talking to the doctor volunteer doctor of the spanish tv said our dog identified life and our dog is never wrong. so it is a race against time. but at the same time, it needs to be done meticulously and carefully as that they're able to get them out
2:11 pm
to life. okay, stephanie decker, thank you for now. we hope that you have good news for us about the people that are trapped there as dec. net, dec annex that building in common matters that building with at rescue is taking place of a mother and a child. we believe as get more on the rescue efforts in what's involved with dr. mark russell. he is with the u. k. international search and rescue team, he joins now from an takia in hattie province. thank you for joining us. doctor. we here we were hearing about these are operations, these rescue operations going on. people being found under the rubble 7 days on. what is the window for people to stay alive? track down there. are these incredible stories that we're hearing hearing of people staying alive? i mean what, what does it take to keep people alive? the stories are really incredible. we know that people can, can survive, fix jordan the length of time on what they,
2:12 pm
what they need in an effect situation that i have to say that the degree of luck they have to end up in a place where they are in an open area. we will call that survivable void space. it might not be somewhere where they're not physically trust, obviously. and then it's a question of really the physiology. the main, the main issue is lack of water and dehydration. i think we've been somewhat fortunate to have been particularly high and some of the survivors may have had access to, you know, they may have found bottles of water or leaking water pipe or some form of world nearby just to keep them going. and there's no doubt an element of all this is sort of an emotional resilience, incredible resilience. i can't even imagine how awful it must be for these, these poor people, but maintaining some hope. and in many cases with having the idea or the
2:13 pm
sense to be able to continue to make noise is often tapping with rocks or been metal. again, metal beams is that noise can travel through the rubble pile and we can use sensitive searching equipments and listen for that because we have to find them before we rescue them. so from a health point of view, is it the lack of food and water that people are most at risk from or can they be other things like presumably a. busy lot of dust down that could be poor quality for example. and coming poor quality usually within the, the, the rubble the left there usually asked basis to permeate through. so that tends not to be made from almost all of these casualties will be covered in a thick layer of dust, but that will settle in time as well. and isn't immediately life threatening. the other thing that is often a major factors, although they may have survived the impact and be in
2:14 pm
a void space. they may have lim, that's trapped, and then often they will have a crust syndrome, a release of toxins that inspect the kidneys, kidney failure, and that sort of thing. so most of these long term survivors may have escaped injury and just be entombed in a very small space. and then it's a question of how long they can keep going. and of course we work through the days and nights. it's hard as we can because we know the survival rates inevitably, jobs over time. and what is the priority when you finally do reach someone alive? what is this, what is it that they need? the most store is, is that on a case by case basis? well, we, what we do, so we have an embedded professional medical team. we have a team of $77.00 specialist search and rescue service personnel. we located the casualty. we then use various methods to set you tunnel in to locate,
2:15 pm
find and get access to the casualty. and typically the 1st thing we'll do, we'll end up doing is making a small hole to concrete through which we can pass simple things like water and just tell the person just take small steps. there are often very keen to desperate to drink 1st in and they may just bump it up if they've been drinking too much. so we encourage them, have small steps as we make a whole big get and soon as a, as we can squeeze in. and as soon as my foster is colleague allow space, me just squeeze into the casualty. then i can assess the level of injuries are usually put in an intravenous. can you give them pain relief because they're open in plain and give them intravenously. it's just thought hydrate and keep it, kidneys, don't keep them alive. while myself and, and colleagues then plan, how are we going to big them out, make sure they're free and then as you get them out to the building itself, because in both be taught, just then narrow complex tunnel,
2:16 pm
a sort of system that we've traded to get them in the 1st place. you yourself have carried out some amazing rescues. explain what you've seen in the time you've been there and half a well, this is the 4th major grade that i been to. i was in new zealand, japan. the full scale of devastation is truly remarkable and breathtaking. that's the best thing i would say. so the task is enormous in terms of what we've seen. we, the u. k. i saw in the british team come out to help 77 people for stokes and lots, especially treatments. we've managed to make age and a live rescues. as we recall, a survivors to a completely buried. it's quite remarkable. i've been to, to be part of to witness, to be honest to help the country. and so many people in such difficult time
2:17 pm
and it list the spirits of the whole rescue team when we, when we find alive survive. inevitably, there are times when we find those who sadly passed away. but when we have a survivor, the team just get and the job to work harder. we had a case on, on friday, but we, we had noise instrument out, male and female casualty, who were clearly alive and we're stablish contact. and we then started a 20 hour operation to tunnel $31.00 building and into another gain access because the race was on to just save them before they perished from the hydration and the injuries. an amazing job you too. thank you so much for all the work you do and will continue to do dr. now come russell from the u. k. international such and rescue team currently in. i'm talkin half
2:18 pm
