calling for international aid to the student from the early beginning from the 1st moment of the week. what entered from robin howell gordon from the u. n side is kind of tracks who did not exceed 15 tracks. these tracks were planned to enter the studio even before the week. so it was one of the week as we've been hearing, the united nations has been under intense pressure to get more 8 into the serious rebel house northwest. the un says 50 trucks have already crossed from take years to the bible. our crossing during the past week, but it will start sending others now that he has permission from the syrian regime to use the bob salam. and i'll try border crossing the announcement of the decision by prison as to now the 2 extra points from and to no question was welcome. now, because we are all urged the to move quickly,
5:08 pm
implement that decision to get trucks been been what this process wind agreement will do is to up the volume of supplies that we will be able to use in small west syria across the border in turkey, the humanitarian situation for those who have survived it all is also dire. sanitation, housing, food and clean drinking water are all difficult to come by dr. say they have transitioned from treating quake injuries to infectious diseases. and p t. s. d. as go live to al jazeera sam is a darn, was in a dana in southern to kia sammy rescue operations. they're still ongoing. i understand. tell us about what's been happening. well they're still ongoing in some places, not correspondence, which will be joining us live in the show later. we're able to tell you some good news stories from places where they are ongoing,
5:09 pm
but the window is closing and in some places like where i am right now. here in a donna, i will, as you can see, we were here a couple of days ago when that rescue and they, they, they pulled out people but they were deceased. well now the dust has settled, but it's not the end of the story. as the dust settles, it's revealing. a very scarred landscape and those scars extend beyond the landscape in to the lives of the people who are left here. moments ago, just as we were going to air folly, people were standing here. neighbors. people used to live here, came back here, just to cry. it shows the connection that people have with what was their home, with this area, and how it will continue to impact their lives. i have been seeing a stream of people over the last couple of hours since we've been here doing exactly that. people come here, they look at the place, they cry,
5:10 pm
the emotional trauma, the emotional damage that's been done to people, is immense. in addition to that, you might find it surprising, but some of the neighbors and the people we talked, you said, well, we don't want to move out of that building, which is still standing. but obviously it doesn't look like it's in great condition . and you might think, as an outsider, we come here, we look at those say, well, i'd be happy someone to move me somewhere else. but some of the neighbors and some of the people who live here are actually arguing with the government, saying you've declared this building unfit for human habitation, but we want to live here. undo your declaration, then resisting the government attempts to try and resettle them. i guess in a sense it's understandable, is that this chap on the motorbike pastor you can hear me. i, it's understandable. i guess when we look at it from the perspective of what you see sometimes in rural zones, in hurricane zones where the authorities try to evacuate people and they don't want
5:11 pm
to go because when this is your pass, however badly damaged, however traumatized. your pass is you sometimes don't want to let go of it because the us is all that we have ever. no. folly. sammy, thank you very much for that. some easy done reporting there live from a dana in turkey. and a number of people being found alive is getting smaller by the day as sammy mentioned there. but despite the ard, they are still some incredible stories of survival. on tuesday, one woman was poor from under the debris in her tie province. more than 200 hours after the quakes hit earlier, 2 men were also found alive. live to stephanie decker now, who is in kind of mom, marashi, you're at the epi center, stephanie of that 2nd earthquake. bring us up to speed with the latest there. yeah. what is more of a recovery operation now, there are very slight moments of hope. i. you still have
