what's believe to be a mother and our 3 week old baby. but they have seen too much death here. i'm really sad thing and we have been talking about this way. we have got it. when we found people, their children are always in the bed and bodies have tried to reach the children that come into the their bedroom. the task of the rescue and recovery walkers is voss you can tell where the devastation begins, or where it ends. as one volunteer told me, he said it will go damage across the southeast. that makes what is already an incredibly difficult task. even more challenging. g anger is a local volunteer. he's been working with fire fighters from missouri by john genesis in a diet estimate, even though we remove a dead body. and we give the course to the family. they still hug ourselves and thank austin, and that they got the body back and us to pray over and dirty, grateful even to be handed your dead. this is the reality of this unimaginable

a very tense day that started with hope with 18 year old. saw that being pulled alive from the rubble telling people my sisters in their my youngest is 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 has 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 operation 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 that will now come out of the rubble and increasing numbers in body bag that's

going to put a strain on the system too. and as i said, you can't see it now it's, it's nighttime, so we can get the drone up. or there's a tent city, which the authorities have put up here. and those people, they are now getting things like blankets to them, they're getting foods to them. but there's still an issue with some basic. while there are now nearly 10000 foreign aid workers in turkey from 74 countries and more are on the way in the port city of canada, and the indian army has set up a field hospital for my bonus met report the turkish public health system has collapsed here in a scoundrel. the indian army is filling the gap. its field hospital in a school is the only health facility serving a pre earthquake population of a quarter of a 1000000 people. initially we had dramas, loss of gloucester, full length, head, and oh, the chest dramas. patients were buried in the rubble. we had to do an am petition

to save a life of the patient, it's leg was gangrenous. then finally, we have saved stabilized him and moved him to other a donna. now, the patient profile is changing, now gradually immortal. the infectious diseases are coming in. the turkish government has struggled to cope with a disaster of the scale. so citizens are relying on aid from across the world. i know my hair fell on the morning of the quake. i made a search says everywhere was hell. i thought i was going to die and i started reciting my final praise. we don't know what we'll do next. we're on the street. there was another trend that just a moment ago and we're outside the public hospital. opposite. the school is in too dangerous a condition to consider reopening with more than a 1000000 people homeless across southeast and turkey. many living intense, there's an increased risk of a wide spread outbreak of disease. being an army says it'll only consider leaving turkey when the number of patients is treating begins to level off. there's no sign

welcome back. a quick reminder about top stories here at this hour. it's been a week since to devastating earthquakes, hit turkey and syria, and the you and his warning, the rescue phase of the response could be coming to a close hold on 37000 people have been declared dead across the 2 countries. the toll is expected to rise well against all odds. a small number of survivors have recently been found. a 13 year old was rescued on monday. after a 182 hours of the rubble, they collapsed. apartment building and a tie. in a d. m. and the young girl was rescued after being trapped for more than a $170.00. and syrian president bashar al assad has agreed to allow 8 deliveries to the rebel held north west through 2 additional border. crossing aid has been slow to arrive in the country, which is it had been ravaged by 12 years of civil war. new zealand has declared a national state of emergency due to the impact of cycle. and gabriel, it's the 3rd time in the country's history that the measures have been introduced

with authorities warning the extreme weather is likely to worsen. hundreds of people have been forced leave their homes on the north island due to rising flood waters. let's begin. logan church. if a journalist with tv and says one news, he joins us live from oakland via zoom, logan good to have you with us. so we're just saying that this is only the 3rd time in its history. that new zealand declared this national state of emergency logan talk briefly through the extent of the dangers facing the north island. i mean, this weather event is unprecedented. isn't it? well, it really speaks just how damaging the swimmer events has been for new zealand. as you said, it's only the 3rd time in new zealand history with the new zealand government has been forced to declare a national state of emergency. on the east coast of the north island, entire towns and settlements have been cut off due to even rising flood waters. all the roads going in and out of these places have been cut off by slips or fallen trees. in some places the entire road is gone. the land under them has just simply

disappeared. i'm wip in speaking to people who've been trapped in their cars, or am they trapped on the roofs of their houses wasting risky? which is a hard job considering just how windy it is. there are helicopters in the area, but there's only so much they can do in the middle of a site cleaned up. the zealand. the fence force has of course, been deployed to help as well. the list of towns affected though is really only guessing longer and longer and the status of these places where we simply don't know about many of them. and that's because communication is a big challenge for everyone. rise across new zealand at the moment's am that we don't know how many people entitle are without power and cellphone reception, as well as dodgy. yet, as is a logan, thousands of homes of lost power communities have been cut off mobile phone networks a down. so what are the immediate priorities now to help people? what are people need urgently now? where the my, with the piracy is communication getting in touch with those on this are affected here in oakland. you might recall that we dealt with devastating flooding only

a couple of weeks ago and we have communities. there are once again finding themselves cast off and those the arkansas for finding themselves an incredibly dangerous situations. just to give, give you an example, firefighters late last night, we're trying to evacuate residents from middle, why, which is on auckland's, west coast. when a house they were and suddenly collapsed, and 2 firefighters were tramps. one was rescued with critical injuries, but the other 5 pfizer hasn't been found and the emergency services haven't been able to continue. they said, just because of how volatile and dangerous the situation is. so the big number one challenge for authorities right now is guessing those connection as low as roads and also the phone, the phone connections, the foot, the phone lines back up and running. at logan, we understand that some coastal communities are continuing to evacuate their homes . to escape this, this dangerous storm surge and further flooding. what's happening to those people? what help evey being given when they leave their homes?

so civil defense and evacuation centers have been sit up in the worst affected areas. there were states of emerge local states of emergencies that have been declared throughout much of the north islands. and authorities have been very, very careful and prom and sending out evacuation orders ahead of when things might get really bad. even just now as we're talking it looks like that more i get coming through the p. residents have been told to get away from rising flood bosses. i'm don't wait for those evacuation orders if they see them and get to higher ground if possible. this is not over for museums and we're seeing reports of damage further down country in the north filings. and it looks like in some areas the west is really only yet to come. or i to logan church there in oakland, new zealand, updating us on the state of weather events. there. logan, thank you very much for your time. thank you. smell, firefighters and chile are still battling to contain massive wildfires that have been burning across south central regions. nearly 300 remain active and new ones

from helicopters that are dowden water as much as they can over the fires. but it's been 2 weeks and they have not been able to extinguish them. and the reason is that people are intentionally lighting these fires. no, no sooner do they put them out than somebody goes and comes and, and lights them again. now here they're telling us that they believe that all the culprits are members of the forestry companies that own the pine and eucalyptus forests that are directly in front of me. over there. we're going to show you, these are the ones that are, that according to the people who live here would at least get compensation from insurance companies. but the, they who are farmers, mainly they grow wheat. are they say they get nothing in exchange. on the other hand, the forestry companies are saying, it's my, put your radical groups that are sitting, fired to the albany or region. nobody knows. for sure, it hasn't been proven yet. who is responsible. all we know is that thousands and thousands of heck dares are continuing to burn year homes. people are being left of
