week's earthquake. $400000000.00 is also needed to help quake affected regions in syria. there the release relief effort has been delayed by the lasting legacy of civil war opposition held areas in serious northwest have only seen a trickle of a delivered so far and medical facilities are on the brink of collapse in the turkish province of carol mon. marsha teenage girl was pulled alive from the rubble 10 days after the initial quake. but such rescues are becoming increasingly rare. thousands of survivors are living and made shift cameras with a limited facilities. and that's raising fears of disease. more than 42000 people are now known to have died. but authorities have not yet announced the number of people still missing. so the death toll is likely to rise. we have a team of correspondence covering the story. stephanie decker is in chuck mac. i said, beg is an idea man, and natasha,
1:03 am
good name is following the story from an takia 1st though we begin with this report from russell soda. who is engender, is syria. this people are the residence of generous in northwest syria. they have been hit hard by the earthquake, and now they're here and trying to get the aid. they said that aid is too little and too late. however, it's still very much precious for them because any drop off the aid can help them to survive this winter. you can see that there are thousands and thousands of people that they have lost their houses or relative there did ones. now they are here waiting for aid for food, for warm clothes, for heaters, and for the medicines. so it has been days that they were waiting for these aid.
1:04 am
there sat there angry, and they say the feel that the international community has forgotten them. they said they was, is not hurt. many of the relatives have stayed on the robles for these and days. didn't have more than more than equipments to, to pull them out. very rudimentary equipments, even sometimes with their bad hands. they needed to, they had to get their beloved ones out of the rebels here. so not were syria has been bombed heavily by the regime over the course of a decade. they already lost a lot. they had been displaced several times and now they are displaced again, and the tragedy is still unfolding here and the kids many of them, they still do not know how much they have lost. many of them are now without the parents. so that's why, particularly now the international aid is significantly important because it's
1:05 am
winter and particularly drink tied to the night time. it's freezing cold, and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive or aid is starting to reach survivors in serious rebel held areas. but there's also been criticism over how long it's taking to negotiate the opening of border crossings. world health organization says it's particularly concerned about the people in northwest and syria medical facilities that already fragile from years of war, a close to collapse than a 100 reports on that. now. here in northwest celia medical south have little choice, but to use damaged incubators. last week's earthquakes and southern turkey or hit this region hard medical facilities and this opposition controlled enclave were already weak. do 2 years of war and the lack of funds there now close to collapse. now allow them we have always face short addition, but this is not new. but now many incubate is a damage,
1:06 am
as well as other equipment that we need to treat the children. many children were affected by the powerful earthquakes where russia was among those who survived. but he still in shock didn't i was asleep when it happened for lapse. my brother and i would clap under the arbor for 3 days before they brought us to hospital. international agencies say they are facing a catastrophic situation in the north, where limited access to aid has complicated efforts to handle the aftermath of the disaster. it's a different situation and government controlled areas where plain loads of supplies are being delivered to airports. the world health organization says the impact is significant there, but services are available and people are able to access them. unlike in the northwest where it says people have been through hell so much now, william during the 1st 2 days in hospital, i didn't receive any treatment. there were no doctors available volunteers or
1:07 am
students were trying to help us. aid has long been politicized in a country divided by front lines. the international community is promising a scaled up response after the syrian government approved the opening of a cor doors. 4000000 people in the north relied on aid before the latest disaster and the realities only getting worse. shelter and food are needed on an unprecedented scale. when can i look at our situation? it is cold, our children no longer go to school. we lost our home, there are no toys here. the u. n. is appealing for emergency funding and has long been working with a shortage of funds and with many describe a forgotten conflict. the earthquakes destroyed already crumbling infrastructure. you know, only when we moved to italy, 3 years ago, we knew the building was not structurally sound what we had no choice. now engineers have told us that we can return to our home and now we are homeless. the challenge now is to care for the living who already endured 12 years of war,
1:08 am
santa hood, or l shakita. and while such cruise continued to dig through the ruins, were still hiring stories of miraculous survival and caroline marsh. his 17 year old girl was pulled a lie from beneath the rubble. she'd been track that for 10 days. while there are still cases of people being found alive, the number of rescues is becoming increasingly rad. health work as a saying that many earthquake victims and now suffering post traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks are poor natasha. good name has been speaking to psychologists in on takia. we follow to clinical psychologist around to day there with the turkish red crescent and they're trying to help people begin to make sense of this collective trauma that is going to be felt across southern turkey. the clinical psychologist say during a disaster like this, their 1st priority is to help restore
1:09 am
a sense of safety. make sure that people have shelter. there is still a critical shortage of shelter in southern tortilla. sometimes it's giving people a blanket or a hot cup of coffee and then it's settling in and just listening. we watch the clinical psychologists offer hugs pats on the backs. they often play with children . as for children were told they're being overlooked, and that's not uncommon in a situation like this that they've experienced, seen and heard things that no child should have to experience. and the clinical psychologist says, if they don't get the mental health services they need, that could emerge as a bigger problem as they grow. well, he earthquakes affected an area almost the size of person. millions of people have been displaced. thousands are now living in camps completely dependent on a to survive. i said they visited one camp in the southern at tucker city of andy,
1:10 am
a man. oh, a moment of happiness and play amid the destruction they've witnessed. these children now live in the captain of the yemen, in southeastern tortilla, and our being helped by volunteers. we came here to provide psychological 1st aid to the children and to help them return to normalcy of life. our i miss to make the children laugh because we say if one child laughs, the whole world last father, more than 5000 people live here, providing food, water, and shelter for them has been a combined effort. mammoth is a businessman, who came to help this, this is a part of our country. we know they need both physical and financial help. we came from 1200 kilometers away. we've been here for i days. we live like them. we'd like them. we sleep in our cars and tents among the tents that make up this camp. they burn whatever they can to keep warm in the freezing temperatures and they're
1:11 am
grateful for the help they've received. then which we got my very big areas affected. a lot is needed and we need every once a bought from across the country. people are helping one of children breaking their piggy banks and giving us money. some have a little money, but they buy medicine and send it to us. he shows us his tent. some have heating, some don't, he says some have mattresses, some don't across the city. another group of volunteers has opened a pharmacy. they travel from istanbul more than 1200 kilometers away. charles shouldn't reside at gal. i took a annual leave to come here. we bought some medicine ourselves. some were donated to us. this disaster has shown how people of this country are not only united in their grief, but also their determination to help each other rescue operations and are shifting to cleaning up the city. and the tension has turned to those init. it's
1:12 am
a challenge that will remain for the foreseeable future, but people across the country a help in the effort, as i beg, i'll jazeera, or the yeoman. so then dorothea, t a l e r s boat in las apple. i to, he is a regional senior communications media manager for the international rescue committee, gaussian tab, i asked him about, well, most urgent need sli right now. what we need is, is funding international committee needs to step up and not failed the syrian people once again. and increase the funding because the needs are immense. even before the earthquake, we had over 4000000 people in northern virginia, almost 90 percent of them in need of assistance. now you can imagine how the scale and now how much the, the population going to be in need of shelter, of a place to, to be protected from the elements from the weather, from snow health care. i mean dyers, he is currently responding. we have
1:13 am
a house health care facilities and providing medical supplies, but we do need funding. we need a lot of funding to, to cover all these need on the ground. that's in terms of health and based of course, of these 2 basic items to the water. our of our crucial areas, a lack of clean and safe drinking water and sanitation on both sides of the border . but how concerned are you about the outbreak of disease in syria, particularly given that they don't have the, the medical supplies or capacity to be able to treat it. our concern is, is significant because again before this earthquake, the color outbreak just, it was announced in october. so it wasn't too far long. and even before the earthquake, it was, we were calling for more support to cover these days. because again, we're talking about a population northern chia where there's there's lack of assistance in general.
1:14 am
people do not have all the basic idea that they need. some of them have been displaced over a dozen times during the this conflict. and the color was, was spreading at a fast pace at the beginning, then it's slowed down for a bit. but now with this current earthquake and the impact and the after effect that we're witnessing on the ground, our concern is huge because with health care system to disseminate this decimated and not strong enough to bear or to or to cover these needs. i mean, we, some of the hospital, our staff work in health or in the hospital. they told us that some of the people that are coming in, we just don't have the, the supplies to do, to support them or to treat them. not to mention colorado when it comes to color are certainly the, the response needs a lot of escalation, a lot of support increase in funding and access, of course, extra for the, for the population north. and we need to ensure that distance keeps coming in and flowing. so it can cover as many people as it can well away from

u. s. president joe biden spoke for the 1st time about those incidents involving the unidentified aerial objects. not only the chinese spy balloon, the military downed off the coast of the carolinas, but also those other 3 objects that were downed over alaska, canada, as well as lake huron. the president saying there's no evidence of a sudden increase in those objects. still, viewers, president laying our parameters or rules to deal with these objects in the future. in other words, so that they can be identified and determined whether or not they should be shot down, or if they should be allowed to float across the united states. and whether or not the threats to civilian or military aircraft are indeed a valid or whether or not they are benign. now, in the case of these most recent 3 on an identified aerial objects, the president says they are benign. however,
1:24 am
when it comes to the chinese spy balloon, there is still some debris that is being retrieved and in the case of all of the objects, in some cases, weather is hampering those efforts. now, when it comes to the chinese spy balloon incident, the u. s. president says he will be speaking to china's president, she in his words, to get to the bottom of this. what he does say though, is that the u. s. will continue to engage with china. what the united states wants . he says is competition, not conflict. that's why us diplomats will continue conversations with china in order to further that relationship. the u. s. has condemned israel's decision to expand a legal settlement activity in the occupied westbank. white house press secretary carrine jean pierre says the move creates facts on the ground that on the mine a 2 state solution. we are deeply dismayed by israelis announcement that they will advance thousands of new settlements and retroactively legalized 9 outposts in the

west bank that were that were until now illegal under is really law. the united states strongly opposes these unilateral measures which, which exacerbates tension, harm trust between the parties and undermine the geographic viability of the 2 states which solution. during this, his recent trip to israel secretary blinking was clear that all parties should refrain from actions that heightened tensions and take us further away from peace. meanwhile, is ready. soldiers have cleared an olive grow from land in the occupied west bank following a ruling by the israeli high court. the trees were planted by israeli settlers 15 years ago in 2021 palestinians who claim the land petition the court to have the trees removes the cases highlight attentions within benjamin netanyahu. government which relies heavily on support from the ultra nationalist. so i write reports now
1:26 am
from the occupied west bank. freshly dug out soil and more than a 1000 olive trees are removed by the israeli forces here on occupied palestinian land in the west bank under israeli high court ruling. because all of the olive trees that were planted here were planted by israeli settlers illegally. now, this olive grove here has caused absolute outrage. the removal of these trees amongst the right wing politicians within the israeli coalition government. but this situation here highlights simmering tensions within the government that have been bubbling underneath the surface for the last few weeks. you have the national security minister, it's something i've been given who has accused the defense minister of bringing in board police here to remove these trees. something he says comes on the have your restriction. so the conversation here now is about who controls what, especially when it come to occupied westbank. you also have the finance minister,
