6:03 am
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. 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 days 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 note was celia has

those behind the rubble behind me is the remains of apartment blocks that just crumbled within an architect tells us 10 to 15 seconds. of the quake started meeting those and the people inside had no chance a toll but across the street. amidst the rubble, there are other apartment buildings like that. one of the behind me that as you can see, still standing now, it's going to have to be pulled down eventually. but the point is it stayed up long enough that the people inside it were able to escape. nobody was killed by the differences. the buildings that collapse were built before 999. and that one and others like it were built after 999, when there was another major quake in turkey, which prompted the introduction of new rules and regulations strengthening the building was compounded the damage on the death and destruction is that even buildings built after $999.00, many of them were granted ominous days. if they failed to come up to scratch,
6:11 am
this was often done before elections instead of having to build a building, building the buildings up to standard. people paid a fine and that was paid to the ministry of environment instead of having to build, bring that buildings up to standard architects. we've been speaking to here. they said what they wanted to do that building behind me is the architects union office . it's low rise and what they wanted to do, they told the council about 3 years before this, they want to knock down. they said all the pre $999.00 buildings should be destroyed and rebuilt to new, a low rise standards. when the building is low, arise is more integrated with the ground. and then we're totally more able to withstand the shaking in the oscillation. the quake causes but these buildings weren't evacuated, it means moving thousands and thousands of people or hundreds of buildings and hundreds of businesses. so the buildings were left as they were. and the collapse, as i say, very, very quickly,
6:12 am
chamber of architect is angry and frustrated because they say that this death and destruction was easily avoidable. health work, i say, many earthquake victims and now suffering from post traumatic stress and panic attacks. all correspondent natasha her name. has been speaking to psychologists when i'm talking we follow to clinical psychologist around today 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 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
6:13 am
. 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 a you should be working with colleagues from here, from the field in you should be, you know, shoot me joy, cherry emotions with them, you know, you both share your emotions and bullets worked together. so it means basically this. so sites of your work and i've evil, very flavio soleah is from the world health organization. he explained what's involved in the next stage of the recovery effort. this you need to can level also also the structures. so what is it's important? today's ensuring access to the most vulnerable an hour to reach populations, extending korea to capacity to treat as is say,
6:14 am
before all the emergency and drama trauma cases at the same time. and it's showing that you've agreed to go mental m psychosocial support to those in need with double choice, providing that sheep. that's where medicines and supplies are designed to treat macapp with all those. when did that incorporate access to emergency and then trauma care, as well as surgical interventions. there's been the possibility to to move it to say they're the materials. there's been the g actually back welcome. they will be to move supplies and, and personnel in the, in the attempt to scale up the provision of the services. so we are here, we talk about element of get the ability going, ability and the need clearly off the scale ability to scale up those, those services. so i think we are the stage now to increase the response to the
6:15 am
next level. they reestablish their routine health services becoming basically the, the next back of the response, the showing that those they are the exacerbation for example, for non communicable diseases in any other condition. have access to those time pressure break here out of era. when we come back to the united states strongly opposes these unilateral measures abiding administration, condemns israel decision to expand the legal settlements and the occupied west bank of scathing indictments of peruse security forces by amnesty international of the weeks of unrest. morning ah, how i was say some really nasty storms moving across sir colorado pushing through
