3:05 am
a very tense day that started with hope with 18 year old sod that being pulled alive from the rubble telling people my sisters in their my younger sisters in the she's alive, please reach her while they struggled. they called an extra teams, international teams even joined the effort. they eventually found her sister. sadly, she was dead. and as time is gone by, it's just been an emotional rollercoaster hoping that perhaps the next member of the 15 members of that family would be found alive and one after the other. they were all located and sadly brought out in body bags. and we saw this cycle of hope turning to grief. this is going to turn into a clean up authoration. that's going to be an intensification of the focus and as well, to provide for the people who are left alive and what to do with more and more bodies
3:06 am
that will now come out of the rubble and increasing numbers in body bags. that's going to put a strain on the system to and as i said, you can't see it. now it's nighttime, so we can get the drone up. but there's a 10 city which the authorities have put up here. and those people, they are now getting things like blankets to them. they're getting food to them. but there's still an issue with some basic well, what i province is one of the hardest hit parts of our kia natasha. her name is in the city of takia, with more on the recovery effort there. untouched is now a city of earth quake ruins. this st gives you an indication as to why it has been decimated. one man tells us we are psychologically broken. there are no services people have been told to evacuate yet some remain. that's because they are holding a soul shattering weeklong vigil waiting for their loved ones to be pulled out of
3:07 am
the rubble. holding on to the hope, however, infant testable that they will be granted a miracle rescue. eugene only until the shoot our loved ones need us to be strong. my beloved nephew and his wife are under the rubble. g. know the tiny line between hope and despair. i'm going through this for the last few days between miracle and reality. she was the people who remain are also living in the rubble. they say they've been given food, they've been given clothing, but they still don't have shelter. they complain that the search and rescue operation was slow to begin here and on takia. they say it took about 3 or 4 days after the earthquake hit to begin in earnest. since the earthquakes hit more than a week ago, there has been a national reckoning over the well known use of shoddy construction material and the lax enforcement of building codes in compliance with earthquake engineering standards. warnings were issued, amnesty is given. now people are angry coverages. it's wrong to blame the
3:08 am
government, although they've made mistakes. i think all the responsibilities on the contractors, the ministry of justice has issued 100. 34 arrest warrants, arrested. 3 people and police are searching for more than 100 suspects in connection with building code violations. as for the people here in on takia, they say they know this diverse city with each it routes will rebuild. but given the is work proportions of this devastation, they know it will take very long time. natasha, good name al jazeera and tuck. yeah. turkey. syrian president bashar assad has agreed to allow a deliveries into the rebel held northwest through 2 additional border crossings. at least 5700 people lost their lives and syria. anger is now building their with survivors saying the international community has let them down. aid has been slow
3:09 am
to arrive in the country, which has already been ravaged by 12 years of civil war. racial city has more from northern syria, beer in modern the sin in northwest syria. this place was not he, it's hard by the earthquake. however, there has been some nearby legions. districts here that were hit quite hot and as a result, thousands of families have been left without houses. now. they need tans. they need warn clots because it is freezing cold. it's winter here and cut. there has been one of the 1st companies that responded to the disaster in, in syria, so to they cut their cent it's 2nd cornwell, off aid. and now we are here that it has been received by the people. so it contains diapers for the, for the kids, and also that tans and the heaters and many other essentials that are desperately needed here. so we can see that now the tans has just been set up and there are
3:10 am
some other places also, the tans of the tans are being set up by did the, by the civil defer to, by, by the civil society here. and also by the death cut that he aid workers as well. so north west syria is roughly horn to more than 4000000 people. and it has seen a more than a decade long civil war. so disasters are overlapping here and they're receiving quite a little here. i have been to they really and them weirdly. i have talked to one of the aid workers here and said that they are quite receiving very, very tiny from the international community. so every drop of age really saves lives here. so that's why this kind of 8 convoys are quite essential here. and also have talked to the head of white helms, rosella, he told me that if they could have received an international aid earlier,
3:11 am
they will be able to save much more lives. but now as of now, more than 5000 people have already died here. and the rescue teams who are still dealing with the rebels, they said that they do not have the dead at more than rescue recruitment. they do not have the diggers acts await theirs. and they do not have also the heavy lifting machinery that are quite needed here. and we, even, they do not have the light that they can continue through the night. they rescue a force. however, that is the situation here. as i said, did the north, west syria, all of syria has been hit hard by 12 years of civil war. but now after the earthquake, that they had a lethal but the earthquake has taken data as well. and the 8th here is much more needed than ever. this was out of that. i'll just 0. margaret miss mean northwest
3:12 am
as syria. will kristen louise at un headquarters in new york with more on a delivery into syria? the united nations has maintained that under international law. it needs either permission from the syrian government or a resolution from the security council to allow aid into the country in until this point. it only had one security council authorized cross border entry point into north western syria that it was allowed to use. so martin griffith, the chief humanitarian aid chief here at the united nations, went to visit syria over the weekend. and i made an appeal to the president bashar assad for more access to these hard hit areas. they were working on a more aide coming in from within syria as well. but they said that it wasn't happening quickly enough that the act of getting deliveries across the front line
3:13 am
in a conflict zone was causing too many headaches and too many problems. and they weren't able to respond quickly enough, so they were granted this extra to these extra to border crossings. the bible salaam and bob all righty. crossings in north western syria, ah, by the government. and that was the 2 that were announced by the united nations. but the syrian ambassador to the un just came out of a closed door security council meeting and said, in fact, any area is, is okay for aid workers to go to that they would support for the next 3 months. anyways, i aide getting into the country in whatever way possible to help the people there. i'll zeros amaral holiday is at a camp and serious rebel controlled a free region families. their fear they could lose wasn't by have left because of aftershocks, fee month to come have colored reason. we are standing at an area that could not be
3:14 am
described as a counselor, but simply a number of tents have been put up among the damage residential billions. come free, free for planning, right to show you those 10 pan left to the smoke one which was partly damage as a result of adequate what it is now is shelter housing. dozens of families was homes were destroyed for other families. mostly women and children have taken shelter the most fear of the shock, the loss of which was just a couple of minutes ago. we go back to the tenant we spoke about earlier. this is a civil defense truck bringing more time to house more displaced. we're not able to go further into north syria because of a power outage caused by earthquake to master that a longer, as a spokesman for the international federation of red crossman red crescent societies . he says the devastation is a huge challenge for volunteers and aid workers in syria. the scale of the detraction is really meant,
3:15 am
so i would say the top needs and the moment or center food the was just an additional psychological support. then it really events in which part of the board we are talking about. of course, what we said about c d is perfect. you might that in store, month after 12 years, we're coffee. the economy crisis, though, of course the needs in still growing and of course he's not to understand may the level of desperation of people who eat by the quick into the pilot in the strength of the red cross, the cuts and family of the i see network so i will, i will interior in the local community. so from the 1st moment after the strike, i would volunteers to respond to the emergency. i want to underestimate the fact that that will so i was in tears both in a crescent and this you know, not knowing where to go personally or the where they suffer with their family, with the friends, with their beloved the but then they decided to be the 1st responders after that,
3:16 am
so we, we saw a great response community level and then as i see we are supporting them. i think i think that the work was critical in the 1st the 1st space in the life saving response. and he will be can be goals and them on to come because they know exactly the needs of their own local community. lots of sorts coming here now, just area including living under the shadow of war we hear from civilian struggling to survive near the front lines in eastern ukraine. and the u. s. claims china is using a high up to balloon for intelligence gathering serious objects or suff down of a north american morning. ah. that light emitted from history kept alive only in the family. tales of those who survived is hard to believe for people who didn't see the use dawning story of the

3:20 am
war of attrition depends on who you ask. the eastern front line is more than a 1000 kilometers long. fighting too small to register may not make headlines. but even the smallest skirmish seen through the eyes of one family, can become the greatest of tragedies, evacuating from fuller door, the agony of one families decision to abandon their home. outweighed only by the pain of knowing. they waited too long. the strain, perhaps too great for one grandmother. her heart stopped moments before reaching safety relief at being out of danger. replaced by the grief of loss. though we have to convince the people for an hour or 2 sometimes, then your relatives persuade them. we talk to them the polish talk to dana, the military administration says you have to evacuate, but that doesn't convince them. for some reason. ukrainian positions and bullet are
