10:04 am
most specific destination that they are coming from. we spoke to some people, some of them were from mulatto. they told us that they had no losses, but they lost friends, not from the family, but they lost from a friends. this place is now poor families. of course, there are people who are living single as well. and families are located in one of the buildings, and we were told by the officers here that this dormitories not being used as a temporary shelter or some of the earthquake effective people. and some of them are using this place as a transit destination because when they find a safe road, better place, maybe moving to their relatives or renting home in ankara or in other cities, they move have they, they continue their lives. but apparently these people will need to stay for a longer time. we are told that actually we have the chance to see that as well. there's a small health center, there are doctors there. and they are a initial treatments are being held here, like, you know, routine checks, vaccines,
10:05 am
other things, and for the bigger incidence or for the bigger treatments, they are transferred from this preliminary health center. to do is state hospitals, then there are some spots for children. they are having some psychological support as well, which is very necessary for the earthquake affected people, as our friends also have been telling for the last couple of days. for now, this is the place that they are using as a refuge, but some of them do not know how long they will have to stay in the storm to where university students were staying until 2 weeks ago. of course, just one step down a very long way to recover using them castiano on the ground for us in ankara. thank you very much. and well, as we've been hearing, many people have made their way to larger cities that in the north, but still many more are in camps across the quake whit quake hit south. ben smith has one f, a relief camp in a donna that's in southern chicky, or a thousands and thousands of temporary shelters that have been set up like this.
10:06 am
are behind me. the idea of these is they, they will be temporary. this place should be closed by monday because what's happening is a lot of the evacuated people, 3 and sent 4000 people evacuated. a lot of them are being moved into university dormitories to give them at least a solid roof over their had as the rebuilding process. goes on, there are more than $1000.00 or $1889.00 unaccompanied children survivors. most of them are with relatives, but 589 of them are not. and $74000.00 buildings that didn't fall in the quake must be pulled down. demorest as soon as possible, because they're not safe. the government keen as a say to emphasize the scale of this, but also frustration from people that many of these buildings were talking about should not have gone up in the 1st place. a government granted before the 2018 election here more than a 140000 building amnesty is in this part of turkey for all sorts of structures
10:07 am
from sheds to large. apartment blocks buildings that didn't come up to scratch in terms of the building stand as they needed to be at post an earthquake in $99.00 to $999.00 to $9.00. what happened instead was though people had to pay a fine, but earn the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00 in 2018. but the paid a fine and they didn't have to build, bring the building up to scratch. thousands of thousands of people here furious about that all with those homes and buildings destroyed many communities and ticket has been left virtually empty. our correspondence settled, decker has wonderful faculty. in town of understand, elvis done the exact epicenter of that 2nd earthquake. the city resembles a ghost town. we've been driving around at streets. we haven't seen a single building. left standing either collapsed, partially collapsed, destroyed,
10:08 am
nothing remains livable here. a lot of its residents have left. there are not many tents here. and many residents also complained that help didn't come fast enough. l . boston is nestled between snow covered mountains. it takes a long time to drive here. when you see nothing but mountains, it's also freezing below 20 centigrade at night. we've also seen the turkish john got. emma with a cadaver dog, the rescue operation ended a long time ago here. now it is only about recovering bodies. some of the buildings have already been marked. zoning on it saying things like empty saying damage noted . it seems that the work to rebuild this area has already begun, but at the moment, the devastation and we've been to many cities across the south east remains beyond comprehension. stephanie decker al jazeera albus, done in south eastern to kia. we've just been hearing there about albus done,

10:10 am
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 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, ya all across the border and syria and as finally reaching its northern regions. after the re opening of the border crossing activists and emergency teams have criticize the slow response to the disaster vessel said
