millions of dollars to supply humanitarian aid to syria. this comes as dozens of n g o z working their call for unfettered access and a massive scale up in assistance following the earthquakes. aid has started moving across to more border crossings from turkey. it after the asset, governments granted the un permission to use them on tuesday. on the 1st un seemed to enter the rebel held northwest as also toward some of the worst affected areas. united nations is launching a city end of the $97000000.00 u. s. gall o'dee, meditating that bw for the people of earthquake ravaged celia and these will cover the beauty of city months. we are in the final stages of a similar it bw for food kia. in the me this often most of the exc wakes, united nations rapidly provided $50000000.00 us dollars. so the sentinel emergency
7:03 pm
response funds. but the needs body mass. we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across her kia and inside syria, zayna hood that starts her coverage from jen that he's one of the hardest had areas in syria. there is desperation on the grounds. we are in gender as one of the hardest hit areas in northern syria and this town alone, more than $1100.00 people were killed, a whole neighborhood now reduced to rubble. people here say that they've lost their family members. neighbors in this house alone, if you remember that newborn child, which was who was rescued still attached by the umbilical cord. she's now in hospital and she lost her whole family. so you have many stories like this here. but unlike in southern kiya here in syria, you don't see the international rescue teams who don't see an international aid
7:04 pm
effort to help the people on the ground. news of the opening of the 2 border crossings undoubtedly will help of the situation on the ground. so far, 8 has been trickling in from the bible, how of crossing? now the syrian government says it's going to allow a to enter from 2 other crossings from turkey and the international community, the united nations that are hoping that to their initial response, which really has been criticized, was inadequate. will step up. but people here are angry because they're saying why the united nations or the world have to wait for an approval from the syrian president, bashar assad. those you know, people here do not consider him a legitimate leader. but a brutal dictator who killed tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people during the course of the war. they were hoping that the international community would just use those routes without his approval. and the fear here is that what
7:05 pm
sharla said is trying to do is gain political legitimacy by showing that he is still in charge. so you have that anger. and at the same time, you also have a lot of frustration. people here feel that they were abandoned by the international, by the international community. more than 5 in syrians, maybe homeless auster last week's devastating earthquakes. that's according to united nations official. and these are the stories of some of those survivors and the desperate situation. they now find themselves and what law he saw, the generals of the people are working day and night, but we need to find refuge. but don't know where we are waiting for god to give us relief. as you know, it is winter. now there are women and children, so we need to secure heating, security, food, water, which is a minimum until things get more organized. i know that the the, i just another model denise of the displeased or know, tend foods and water. we receive food aid, and many good people help. we still need food and water,
7:06 pm
nothing more than that. thank god, we now took refuge in the stand. last, everything around her last everyone i know in the 3 building that used to be next to me. i lost my neighbors and my children, 7 friends in the building. next to us, we lost a large number of people who used to live near us. my neighbors, my friends, colleagues, and partners. i went to you then across the border and sir, kia, the number of people being found alive, is getting smaller by the day. but despite the odds, there are still some incredible stories. on tuesday, 2 women were pulled from under debris and ty, province more than 200 hours after the quakes hit earlier, 2 brothers were found alive. some say done is joining us from donna. that's in southern turkey. so sammy, still some rescues, which is quite unbelievable where what is happening where you are right now?
7:07 pm
yeah, absolutely. there was some incredible rescues today. at least 6 people pulled out of the rubble and mode and one day 8. and you might, you can't ready feel it of course, but you can, you can see the, perhaps the cloud, the have, it's a cold night. it's not easy conditions for people to survive. so these are in incredible scenes. but sadly, as every hour passes by the frequency of those sorts of joyous moments of pulling people out of rubble, they're becoming more and more rare. and we're seeing more more sight turn to places like where i am right now. in a donna, you might remember a couple of days ago, we were here when that was a pile of rubble here and rescue teams working here to pull people out of that rubble. one of those rescue workers who is working that night is with me right now . his name is matt met. talk dash metal. a lot of mamma bay. you were working here at the time. adam, i met that nail. do you, are you,
7:08 pm
do you know what happened here? that was a big distraction to deny it. again, this is the name of the building. this was a 14 started building minus 2 floors. so this is the top of 16 for story building. and we found a large number of people living in there, there was a large distraction here. so on the day of thought into santa that's about 6 o'clock in the morning on tuesday. and unfortunately, we did that. we're no survivors in this building. we had to take that that the but the a and the phone that i know also some families came and identified that sound fortunately. and then subsequently we started to clear that but after the instruction me ok bus come. a
7:09 pm
lot of that could come a policy on lot more. did you continue to search and rescue operations in other neighborhoods? as soon as i know they don't continue any more around here, the search and rescue operations and it may not start to clear the level of a from the s i'm a high tide vot come on my side in, in the, in current i'm, but i will still continue, how long this is going to continue. you never lose your hope from the got but it's got a critical don't am very critical. time has gone past since and that some people have been pulled out of to read rebel alive, which is very good news,
7:10 pm
but i hope the people of it is still continue to be pulled out of the rap on the in the coming days. hopefully. boom, done. sondra. all that knocked off now. all of jack. sure. from now on. what are you going to be focusing on at the moment, doors, damage buildings or the problem buildings or those people who which have problems with the people. so as buildings are living in intensities 10 pounds, just to be on the safe side, but the lunch is, oh wow. so that will be some precautionary measures taken for people to gradually moved back into those buildings where it is possible to do so. because as you out of a have lost tens of thousands of people and to address just waiting for more people
7:11 pm
to be pulled out or, and such as your financial say, read as i'm necessary. we certainly hope of course that those operations come to the best ending possible in the circumstances, mcvey, chuck tisha. kara didn't well, as you can see here, things are pretty quiet. but all throughout this day we've been seeing extremely emotional scenes. people coming, stopping in their cars, getting out, or people walking up to this point. they were people who used to live at the sites, just standing, sometimes sitting down in the sand. in one case, we saw a lady to sit down and cry here. these people who clearly been as scarred, if not more scarred than the ground underneath their feet. this is a situation which is going to go on for a while studying. thank you so much, sammy, they don reporting from a donna inter to you. so as sammy was just saying,
7:12 pm
rescues are still happening, but the windows to find survivors is fading, more often responders or finding bodies. instead, stephanie decker has more from her mind mirage. it's the epicenter of the 2nd earthquake, the vast majority or dead bodies that are being pulled out of the rubble. we saw 2 at a site just behind. we spoke to the driver of the more car you see the everywhere. he said that he's been driving the bodies back to their families, back to where they want to bury them, and that this is part of his duty. very, very difficult. also tension here. we saw one area just a little bit north of here. the chinese rescue team was there, they listen and tension ensued between it could have been a relative and some of the, the workers. there was a fight, a physical fight, so much as the army had to fire in the air. which is the 1st time that we've seen that from our travels across the devastated region. but it shows you just tell us
7:13 pm
how high the tensions are. this is going to be a major challenge. they're going to have to clear the rubble, the buildings that remain standing are certainly not fit. none of the residence will be able to return. so it is a long term challenges as a heartbreaking challenge. and it's going to be very, very difficult one to manage. certainly for talking over a 1000000 people that are meeting long term housing. russell farther has more now from your mind on how the city is coping with the aftermath and how authorities are responding. this place was the biggest stadium in the city or for at the moment. and now it's turned into a pants city or 5000 people currently are living here. and this is not the only 10th city in the city of idea, man that are tons of such makeshift camps that are spreading across the city. so the displacement here is becoming a humanitarian issue and or tortoise or trying to deal with this crisis. i've
7:14 pm
talked to the mayor of the city, ashley monk collision ever asked him about the displacement about sanitation and infrastructure problems and the challenges that they are facing. financial under his control, there is a fair is fair degree or for infrastructure issues, of course, including water networks, class network and electric network. of course, fortunately, we have m made. some improves in our water, water resources and water supply may be 4550 percent off. the city is now starting the mains, water cancer are set up, but in an hour, a lot of people are still out. this is because because of a large number of it, the buildings listed, distracted and ruined. so we are working round the clock. a lot of people are homeless, children that are a large number of people who want to go out of the city. they're trying to arrange data transferred to other cities around the country, or the amana was one of the hardest. he had cities in south turkey by earthquake,
7:15 pm
a 1175 buildings have collapsed here. and as a result, more than a 1000 people have died, the mirror told me that they are afraid that this number could go up to 15000. indeed, wherever you turn in the city, you will see the collapse, buildings are blocks off, the blocks are leveled on and the did impact off the earthquake is everywhere. and also the sense of normality among people of this city is completely lost. let's not cross over to syria and get more on the situation there, where many people are still waiting for help will speak to ogden, coffee, and hendo, who's an activist. he's also a residents of it live. joining us from there, welcome to al jazeera. can you tell us what the situation is like an inlet? thanks a lot of facts and nowadays we are in the 8th day and then the catastrophe that to hit already think the night a date of the catastrophe that hit in northwest uri as well as south 13th and here
7:16 pm
. i mean like in the rescue. teams are an impact to stephen working to look for or some people under the rubble of course, but getting people or i already test like getting people like is almost 0 nowadays . all of they are doing, in fact, to get out somehow buddies out of the rubble as well as impact to move the suttles into other places. but of course, i mean for the other play a for the other sides. if you are working about the material sites for those people who are picked up by the said it, it capacity will be those people who survive, but in fact they have lost everything. they are infected, suffering, know, in many places here we have those who of the earth class, can you tell us what their, what their biggest needs are right now in terms of aids. yeah, in fact as the early impact is all they did the best they did before the way. so
7:17 pm
these people in fact po themselves without anything. in fact after that that could be that you need to. they need the carpets they need and then kids need food. they need medical treatment, all these things. in fact, unfortunately, we didn't have the resources as well as the materials to give at the 1st days. so these people in fact didn't know, in fact are in very need of all of these things. and united nation in fact, are almost delayed in responding to these people. and in giving them a off till they got it back there. and, you know, get permission from russia from outside and, and know in addition to the humanitarian ration. in fact, i'm speaking about the psychological situation that all these people are suffering from here in north the syria, which is almost in that devastating. yeah, that mental trauma must be very hard to deal with. what sort of aids is coming in
7:18 pm
right now into it live? now that 8 is going through the bible have a crossing and also the un has now started aids going through to other border crossings as well. so what sort of 8 is going in and, and is it enough? in fact to yes, today, in fact, the 1st day that somebody started getting through about a salami closing order as well as even today and some aids started getting from about how in fact these impacts are not enough and will not be long for a long time. because the catastrophe is much, much bigger than what united united nation is, is giving for these people. and in fact, that the, the amount of response from your end is really disappointing for everyone who is here in north is we, as begins, in fact, we try to help the other people with everything we have. but of course,
7:19 pm
as i told you here, the it is already in fact, lacking of all, you know, resources needed. even if you go to the market nowadays, you don't see food enough. you don't, you don't even apply it in the market to give to these people. so all markets are almost empty because the trade accordingly between us and the therapy is almost long as turkey is suffering gr, okay. we thank you for talking to us from it live in syria, giving us your point of view. thank you so much. thanks. still ahead on al jazeera, a crackdown on child marriages in india. why experts say social changes the way to protect millions of girls? ah.
