5:06 am
a normal school day july web, a would be greeting his students instead, the principal of marianna boys school walked through empty classrooms and take stock of the damage caused by the quake. children can't return until it's deemed safe, but it's not clear how long that will take next. i mean has that if the, that the i was that we are afraid of aftershocks that may in turn lead to more damage in the future. i urge the concerned parties to help us to continue the educational process here for the sake of the children. the school and the teachers and the students all need help students stuck at home or making the best of a bad situation. my stuff and cassim do what studying they can, but mostly they're helping out at their father's shop. their school isn't rebel controlled, it live. so it's not the 1st time their education has been disrupted with them her . i think when we were very scared because of the earthquake, we ran out of the house and we haven't gone to school since
5:07 am
a date happened. asked was previously shown by government forces. then the earthquake caused many cracks in it. it wasn't long ago that their school looked like this. the building needed extensive renovation after being hit by a government farm. the damage of the quake is yet another set back to their schooling for level the ball, the earthquake goes many correct and it was of the school. so we stopped going to school for fear of after shocks. everyone here fears for our lives and the lives of the students. for now, all schools are suspended in opposition, controlled parts of syria. students don't know when they'll be back in the classroom again. some could reopen as early as next week, but others that are badly damaged could remain closed for a lot longer than to modern al jazeera agencies of voice concerns
5:08 am
about the safety of unaccompanied children and syria. aqua based on this and a wage and refugee councils advisor for the middle east. so stood, are secular risk. we have and we have the angels and activities emotional too, which is where they come to release some stress. talk about their experiences. these children have, obviously not necessarily lost the parents that might be in hospital, but they might be in the chat, you know, situation. it doesn't allow for the children to go. and so they need someone from their family to tell them that their parents are ok, or even sadly, to break the news that the parents passed away. so the children all take a risk of mental developing mental issues. last like hello, just work with with, with cases of see cases the children, his and a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks later they start to develop reactionary behavior could be. so my
5:09 am
question is could be obviously tears. these children need to be looked off, just like other communities, one of the categories, like people with disabilities and obviously babies. so yeah, we're talking about an issue that i think will start to emerge later, later on at a later stage when we start to become come up with to, to, to discover the number is how many children have, obviously lost parents or now across the border and turkey schools that survive the earthquake have turned into shelters as that bag reports from one of the hardest had areas of thought among the rush on house students because in, with the disaster, their amended destruction in this city. this school is remarkably still standing. now there's no lessons going on here. that's because the government has suspended
5:10 am
education until the 1st of march. now across the 10 provinces is around 4000000 st . since and 200000 teachers are primary and secondary level. now the government says education will resume after the 1st of march, but that depends on the districts and school by school basis, because some of the buildings are damaged and they have to be inspected before students can be returned. now this building now is being used for emergent emergency relief efforts to help those that are left behind on there is no one left to go to school. a lot of people have died. only a few people are left to those on ebay to at least the schools are being used for a good purpose. now, education has been suspended and it will badly affect us. but i am sure the state will do what's necessary for our education. they hadn't got food, water, blankets, and clothes, but not only to the people that are left behind, but also the rescue workers, the relief workers, and the police who have been working tirelessly throughout this crisis now asked,
5:11 am
rescue efforts begin to wind down. the government will be looking at how they can get vital humanitarian aid to those people left behind. and because the destruction is so vast and because so many buildings have been damaged, they're using schools like this one that are still standing. no education is taking place inside, but they're using it as a cru, monetary on hub. and that's what the government will be doing in terms of looking at buildings are still standing that they can use to get vital to monitor and 8 to those people that are left behind that don't have homes, are completely dependent upon the state and age organizations to get by i said vague. i'll just either carmen brush, southern dorothea or raw that show is the chief of education at uni seth ticky office and he says that makes ship schools can be a source of both education and emotional support for children impacted by the quakes in the most impacted areas. says around about 4000000 children a at the moment and not in school. and she naturally schooling a stock,
5:12 am
but we'll start again next week for the rest of the country. but in those areas, there will be a gradual reopening of schools as a when the schools are in a situation where they can accommodate them. bearing in mind that the national ministry of education is part of its response, provided access to families using a school buildings, dormitories teacher training centers as temporary accommodation units and oversee. we now need to get children back into school. there's also the issue of the many, many schools that have being either destroyed or cedric since severely damaged. that requires some alternative means to be put in place 10 preschool shelters mobile classrooms. doubling up a shift to schools will run to shifts a day in some areas to accommodate the learning needs. i think it's important not to underestimate the lifetime impacts of not being in school,
5:13 am
particularly coming back to years of disruption from co it. but also schools play a really important support for children. it's an opportunity for them to socialize, to discuss and engage in what they've been, they've been experiencing. one of the things to unicef will be doing will be working with the ministry to make sure that psycho social support is also delivered in the school in the school environment. our rescue operations are winding down and to care, but they haven't ended. a 45 year old man was pulled from the bottom of the southern problems of hot, high, 11 days after the 1st powerful earthquake. he had been trapped the collapse building for 278 hours. and one man who has rescued on friday has met his newborn daughter for the 1st time. and many was born on the day of the earthquake. she met her father, was the fire a hospital in the turkish city of met same despite the widespread devastation, not all city for suffering, the same fate as natasha the name of ports. now from, as in not
5:14 am
a single person died in irs in not a single building collapsed. yet there are plenty of people in this city of 43000 people who say they are angry and scared. there are damaged buildings. the government has advise people not to go back to their homes until an inspector has deemed them structurally sound. so we've spoken to people who say they're living intense cars and outside. they complain the fact that ers in has not been as devastated as other areas has left it overlooked when it comes to receiving aid as an young osama. but on the, since the mayor said as seen is not damaged so many survivors came here. they're staying in their cars, they also new tents. they suffer as much as we do. they may survive in terms of food, but they have no place to stay. there are a couple of factors explaining why ers in was not severely damaged. it's next to
5:15 am
a fault line expert, say that fault line did not shift. there is a mountain next to ers, then that is creating a barrier. and the city is at a higher see level, which means the ground is harder. buildings are constructed on bedrock and for years the city has strictly enforced building codes and the use of proper construction materials given how well ers in has fared. people from heavily impacted areas and had tie province have now come here seeking refuge. natasha name l. jazeera ers in turkey. i still head on the bulletin, the philippine government brands. dr. a terrorists is out of a policy activist according read tagging. and libyans hook for a democratic future. 12 years after the overthrow of mormon gadhafi. ah.

biggest symbol in all of this is the relative helplessness of the state in protecting the protectors of the people of pakistan. and that being police services, and certainly the policemen and the soldiers of bugs are the least deserving of any kind of speculation that somehow their work is lacking in any way. i think they're being failed by military and political elite that is distracted. and this united, they're dealing with a global geopolitical scenario in which of honest, on and pakistan don't matter as much anymore. and the mass that the americans left behind and on it's done. one that focused on had repeatedly warned the americans and the rest of the world about for 2 decades. now that mouse has actually come home to bucharest on itself to the philippines. now, with a government has designated a doctor, a terrorist activist,
