a 3 month state of emergency. we weren't allowed inside or told turks and syrian refugees lived separately, but sure, a common misery of no access to water or bathrooms and no electricity. this man says he escaped the war in syria with his family, and they've now been displaced for the 11th time. and, and i'm apologize enough to look over that. we don't have any demand in this life. we only ask god for diff, or we ask the will to help us take us back home to live in our land safety. the government says is provided shelter to 1200000 people. there is no exact figure of how many remain homeless in the 10 provinces declared disaster areas. the president of the turkish red crescent says 2 and a half to 3000000 people will require support in the coming months. turkey is entire stock of tents has been depleted. now there is concern about possible public

health crises, including the spread of the flu. cholera, respiratory elements, and other infectious diseases. waters castiano hygiene situation, the straw, but so renewed, renewed water sanitation on hodge and capacity. astronomy possible, a communicable diseases heavily into conditions for many threats. actually, public health threats, we will face, the turkish red crescent says it's also working to provide mental health support to the millions who will need it. as these earthquake survivors leave a decimated city to begin life anew, they can't escape the burden of tragedy. natasha name l jazeera on tuck, yet turkey ha. wrestles out has been visiting a makeshift camper in the city of a german to find out how people there are coping with the aftermath. this place was

the biggest stadium in the city or for audio month. and now it's turned into a kansas 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 authorities are trying to deal with this crisis. i've talked to the mayor of the city, actually monkish, an ever asked him about the displacement about sanitation and infrastructure problems and the challenges that they are facing. financial under his computer, the 33 degree or for infrastructure issues, of course include in water networks, class network and electric network. of course, fortunately, we have in 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 the buildings, dis, distracted and ruined. so we are working round the clock. a lot of people are homeless shots that are a large number of people who want to go out of the city. they are trying to arrange data transferred to other cities around the country, or the amana was one of the hardest hit cities in south, trickier by earthquake, a 1175 buildings have collapsed here and as a result, more than a 1000 people have died the mere 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 after blocks are leveled dawn and the did impact off the earthquake is everywhere. and also the south of normality

among people of this city is comp lifted lost resources that of jazeera or the amana southern trickier center coffee. l. as in a right crescent aid center in ankara were tenser being made for people who lost their homes. they have been doing this for decades. here they are pretty currency is, is so intent to deploy to dispatch, to the earthquake areas are these the 10th which are the most likely need right now until people find a temporary shelter room for themselves. and these are each 10th is 16 in a health class meters. it has separate sections for the family gathering place and a small room and an entrance. we are told that the material all of these plans are waterproof, fireproof, and mildew group. but of course, these are temporary solutions, but at least until the new houses are rebuilt. as

a turkish present promise of these plants will be one of the temporary solutions for the people who are going through tough weather conditions during winter. 8 yesterday, turkish president has a press conference after the cabinet meeting. he said he will start rebuilding houses in the earthquake areas after the end of february, within a couple of weeks. and the initial phase will start with $30000.00 houses. but of course, this is not enough, nothing is enough in the region right now. we're talking about 10 cities, 13 and a half 1000000, having been affected by the earthquake, and here in this production central to turkish red crescent. the workers are working around the clock. they have increase their employee capacity, the expert working hours, everything and where we are told by people who have been working here for more than

20 years. that this is the 1st time that nothing is enough. know personnel is enough and they have increased full capacity into care. the number of people being find alive is reducing by the day despite the odds that are still some incredible stories of survival on widened state. the woman has been rescued from a building and cut them on the last 222 hours after the quakes hit. stephanie deca has more from kind of mom rush, but other survivors have been fined by rescue. cruise. 2 young men were pulled out of the rubble on tuesday, but those stories of joy are becoming less and less. it is overwhelmingly the dead that are emerging from their homes while we're standing. these are apartment block said they have been cleared, but this is, as one of our colleagues described, a mass graveyard. the city has become a mass graveyard. it is like this across huge areas of the city and the buildings

that still stand are broken. they are structurally unsafe, their residence will never be able to go back home. so looking ahead, you have the challenge also of how to how's, where to how's over hundreds of thousands of people. one of the challenges here, it's not just one city that's been effected by this earthquake. it stretches across major areas of the se, certainly in this city hit by the 2nd earthquake. it's epicenter very close to where we are at the people are devastated. i've many of them still can't believe that this is happened when you ask them what you need. many will tell you, we need our relatives back. i need my daughter back. i need my husband back. but life goes on now. many of them are having to live intented cities. this is a temporary measure, and it, that's not just here that's a cost the entire southeast of turkey, but certainly the stories of heartbreak and devastation in their hundreds of

thousands. stephanie decker, al jazeera car, am on my dash south eastern turkey. i still hadn't opposite of 4 people are killed in new zealand off to cycle, and gabrielle causes widespread flooding and destruction on the proposal to reform columbia's health care system. that's fracturing the government's coalition. ah, while the big showers of spread themselves out of it and acid dropped particular harris to focus on for heavy rain in the full cost. but if you were to look probably at java and maybe solar waste with the biggest tops there is some on shore wet weather for viet nam and that in his association with the shadows you see at a season showers in me and montague brought the temperatures down from what were pretty high levels,

otherwise he says what you might expect and is particularly wet in the top end of a strategy where this clyde may, will turn into a circulation might even be named. certainly so tropical low, which means is full of moisture and not be realized as huge mass of water on the grams from flooding likely northern queens saturday. that's when barson dry remarkably hot. actually because this melbourne's 35, an abilene 38, which exceeds purse rather poor, 26 in comparison, we carry on the same vein, but not time to vacaville and on shore breeze. this is during friday, but look at the rain still further north, newsy, and story. it has been one of why was, you know, throughout north islands a lot of flooding and it's a wind damage. now there's a cycle, has gone, the forecasts on thursday actually bring some rain and strong winds back up through weddington catches christ church that hasn't entirely gone even on friday. ah. the

african stories from african perspective, short documentary from african filmmakers from ivory coast just to last year from a chauffeur deployed with bus, a listing for home and south africa. tina i would change and it showed me that i'm actually tracking and fire with africa direct on al jazeera lou. ah, watching our da 0 reminder of our top story is this. our united nations is appealing for nearly $400000000.00 to help provide humanitarian aid to earthquake

victims in syria. it comes as 11 shocks carrying you and aid crossed into opposition held areas. on tuesday. a woman's been rescued from a building in carmen mirage. 222 hours after the crates hit, when the number of people being fined alive is dropping by the day. more than 41000 people have been killed. ah, ukraine says russian forces have bombarded troops and towns in the eastern done yet screeching in what appears to be a new offensive, but keeps as his troops have repelled attacks around the frontline city of buck mode, as well as causing russian losses in the nearby town of villa dark russia has intensified attacks in the region as the 1st anniversary of its invasion approaches. it rains president says his forces are fighting for every meter in the east of the country. let me as zalinski, made the comments as nato defense ministers, meat,

and brussels for a 2nd day to agree on more support for cave said ice and apparently the assembly of another matching into the situation on the front line, especially in done it. skin hunts cremains very difficult. the battles are literally for every metre of ukrainian lance. we got confirmation from our partners about more air defense weapons, more tanks, more artillery and shells. more training for our military. as it was said today, ukraine must be successful. we're in agreement here, success must come to my board or services, whether it's mel from brussels step. i understand that the nato nations is saying that they are willing to increase defense spending. what, what are the aiming for well, the target is basically 2 percent. but as di estonian, defense minister just so told report there's only 7 of their 13 nation. nato nations are achieving their this target to of 2 percent of. ready annual budget, basically what happened is in the last decades

a lot of countries and natal have done some serious defense cuts because of a lack of a, a direct threat where they have. now notice of course in the last year is that the production has been a very low production lines have basically been there been halted and they now are saying we need to step up this production. so that needs to be also a lot more money. the german defense minister historian said that actually needs to be more than 2 percent even, and germany is particularly lagging behind or last year, chance a lot of shows announced that there would be a special of fund of 100000000000 euros to basically compensate for all the lax that they're still have in their defense or spending. but what we see now in this past year is that it's been very slow in spending all this money because of bureaucratic procedures. and also does the fact that a lot of products are lighter simply stop. so a lot of things need to happen and need to change according to nato,

to speed up their deterrence, especially on the eastern flanks. i noticed that feminine sweden are joining to dues music. what's the latest on them? actually joining nato. although sir negotiations have also been halted, or since it is qur'an or a brittany, in at the turkish embassy and sweden last month earlier when president irwin of turkey has then sat he, a once of finland to us to join nato. but sweden, at the moment, there is no discussion about that. so when the finish or defense minister entered the nato headquarters this morning, he said there's no way that we are going to join nato by ourselves. it has to be with sweden. this is an advantage for nato to have both nations entering nato at the same time. so there's still some optimism that that might happen during the nato summit in vilnius, in lithuania, in july add a polish for president, has offered to negotiate and also to try to persuade urda one to let sweet enjoy.

and we will hear from the polish president here later today at the nato headquarters as well. and we'll see what he has to say about that. so thank you very much. indeed, that's to advice and talking to us from brussels, la opinion pause, and south korea suggest those growing support for a program to develop nuclear weapons. 7 out of 10 people say they want sol to independently counter north korea's escalating military threats. but mcbride reports from the south korean capital living next to a neighbor that's long been developing its nuclear arsenal. it is a debate that often surfaces here and it's been given extra impetus with the unprecedented increase in missile testing by north korea. opinion polls here seem to indicate that more and more people in the south want to be nuclear armed south korea. house for decades had the protection of a nuclear umbrella provided by its allies, the united states,

which has promised to use its missiles to protect the south in the event of a nuclear attack that seen as being especially important. given the efforts by north korea into developing sure to range tactical missiles aim specifically at the south gate and going into and had the current situation the republic of career is facing is the worst since the korean war. the question increasingly though, now that north career is thought to have longer range missiles capable of hitting mainland united states is whether the u. s. would come to the protection of south korea. knowing that it too could suffer in a nuclear exchange. and she did all 100 such a moment came most experts are skeptical. the u. s. president would protect soul or risking the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even millions of his own people, ghetto, yonder, tongue, our presidential demand, president bade, and that the u. s. supreme bag is tactical,

nuclear weapons or end or south korea's development of nuclear weapons. officially, the line of the south korean government is that there are no plans to develop a deterrent. but for a growing number of people here, given the growing threat, the argument seems to be, it's better to have your own nuclear weapons, just in case rob mcbride al jazeera. so 4 people have died in new zealand. after sight on gabrielle swept across north island, causing widespread flooding and landslides about a 3rd of the population live in affected areas, and as a michelson shall east reports. the storm may have weakened, but it's left a trail of destruction. an unprecedented natural disaster in newsline snot island, entire towns have been cut off by flooding and land slides. farms, houses, and bridges have been washed away. cyclone gabrielle has now passed, but the impact of the storm will be felt for weeks to come. oh, florida,
