soon as possible, stephanie decker, al jazeera, chuck mock village in south eastern, to kia or going to speak to us at baker, who's in a camp in agile man in turkey. and the overall picture that we're getting is that the rescue operations are beginning to be wind down, but the focus now was on recovery and helping the survivors. and of course that's happening at places like the one where you are yes, it is right here. people are really struggling with the cold, the mountains that surround the city are covered in snow and people here are carrying wars and trying to burn anything that the again can to keep warm. now there is food and water hair. i've seen rubbish trucks take in rubbish away. but before there were some complaints that some of the tents were winter tents, so people are struggling with the bitter cold here. but the over 5000 people, there is a huge task for the authorities. now in the main city they're cleaning up there, you can see the trucks carrying rubble away. and even this morning we saw
11:14 am
municipality workers out on the streets, reaping those streets. but there's lot of age coming in from different organizations. there's a food, there's water, and some medical students have set up a pharmacy at the university in the hospital is also still operating. so the authorities are trying to help these people, but it is a huge task because now it's moving on. although the rescue operation has ended officially, but what's taking place in the city is this cleaned up operation and eventually they will have to demolish a lot of buildings because they've been damaged that how to deal with so many people that have been displayed. so many people that have lost their homes and had to deal with the aftermath because these people are living close. why there's a lack of sanitation to the real fear that there could be a spread of diseases. so they want to address that to have medical staff here, but that's the real concern. now what happens next? where will these people go? now president, out of the one has said that they will rebuild in the, in the space of a year. but for the meantime, they'll were 5000 people hair and his bitterly cold for them as her. thank you very
11:15 am
much indeed that i said big in angie among while several countries are sending humanitarian aid. so key is military is involved in delivering it to the 10 affected provinces. as some is done reports, it's a challenging task for teams to deliver to remote areas. a busy military control room received requests for help from air is more numerous than the pen to write them all down with the military decide to send a helicopter to carry a doubt to ashanna sutler. it's one of the many earthquake hit villages high up in the mountains of a remote part of southern tortilla. in no time, the trump is ready. the aid is loaded all drinks food and clothes amongst other things. so while journey or one hour, 10 minutes, the pilot says everybody is hopeful. when we get back,
11:16 am
we'll still find survivors. people alive enables that help unload this up and get help to the people who needed the most. soon the mountains appear, the temperature drops and every peak is covered in snow. this does not look like an easy place to lose, even if you haven't suffered, devastating earthquake. i've been when landing it looks like almost all, all the very see it all down. but again, we're on the ground now. the military on taking the book. we're looking for the people where what happens to the villages? what happens to the people living here we all people have made a mistake in a dream. taking a we desperately wanted to get out and ask the villages what they've experienced,
11:17 am
whether there are still people trapped under the rubble and how they survived. but the on the asked us to stay on the chopper and we didn't want to get in the way of saving lives. i wrote a generating file wrote of late. you know, that good thing is ready and emotionally, mom moma, because i want to get out to those people like me, looks like a grandfather in so many young children. well, we have to go. we have to go. all right, look down and see these kids as we fly all waving out of this situation. how they going to i was gonna say, what the situation do they go home? i'm not sure how much of a home they have left it was it difficult flight back thinking of those left on the top of mountains. but on the ground we witnessed the cycle of loading aid and
