6:18 pm
they will not forget the people who have been less homeless by this earthquake. the minister of openings ation has been speaking with a short while ago promising families that they're going to rebuild home. so them, every family will get the say, the 3 bedroom apartment, everyone will get a 93 square meter home going into details, i guess, to assure people government is taking this very, very seriously. remember of course, in the early days of the earthquake, lot of criticism and to some extent in some places, criticism that the government isn't doing enough for isn't acting fast enough. also today they kicked off phase one or what they call the container city project. and that's to get people be, you know, into some kind of better housing conditions until they can build new homes. they're hoping to get starting from today, 15000 families into these containers, get them out of the 10 are also putting out prefab homes and we've been driving around turkey in the last few days. and we've seen laurie's carrying these prefab
6:19 pm
homes going towards some of the hardest hit areas. this can't come soon enough because if you listen to what the u. n is talking about, the picture becomes very clear. they're saying one and a half 1000000 people have been left homeless by the earthquakes in southern care. they say half a 1000000 new homes need to be rebuilt. and they say up to 210000000 tons of rubble needs to be cleared away. and just to give you a sense of perspective on this, we're talking about when you put all that rubble together, something like 30 square kilometers of land to be filled. 3 meters high, they say with rubble, a lot of rubble. and these are talking about rubble. we've seen families and we've seen people pulled out alive from the rubble over the last several days. i caught up with one particular family that has an incredible story,
6:20 pm
a heart wrenching and heart warming story of how they were trapped on the rebel themselves. thought that they were going to die and they recorded a message to the world asking for help, but help for others. outside of the rubble, he'd only show and track under the rubble families pinned down by collapsed concrete and struggling to breathe. telephone if we die and this found his found that our fire was here in carmen. rush under the rubble of this massive earthquake, then they decide to fill what they believe of their final moments. but this is not the incredible story of their survival. this is the incredible story of their selflessness. whoever finds this phone, please help me fulfill my promises to people. please give me stuff. a tooth has a 500 layers and you own the children from 5000 lire place and paid to them on my
6:21 pm
behalf. the family had collected donations and were worried, the money in their apartment wouldn't make it to the needy. this is what's left of what the current family once called home, the powerful earthquake reduced an entire compound of towers to dust underneath, fatma otto and their 3 children endured 10 hours of agony. incredibly, they were rescued alive, all except the youngest son belie. his mother filmed him, playing with his brother before the quake in what would become his final moments. for in concert, we heard the tremor in the early hours of the morning. the billing shook into the children and my wife followed. i called out loud and he looked at me. but before i could pull him out, the building collapsed and surviving an earthquake. and then surviving being trapped under the rubble of your own home. that's an unimaginable old deal. but then walking above that rubble,
6:22 pm
that can be painful to. we're looking for beloved things of his clothes or books. i had a son here. he talked laugh and slept here. when you're walking on top of your path, each footstep forwards takes you back with drops or so it's very difficult to be here. it's bringing back bad memories. a lot of the each scoop raises hope. each item uncovered pools at the suddenly a mother is confronted with what she thought, but didn't desire her dead son's shirt. some food and tea can fill the void of hunger and not the emptiness of losing a son. so you're in the middle of an earthquake. why were you thinking about charity for others? i mean, that's a beautiful thing, but most people would be worried about themselves, upgrade or change, because the money was for orphans,
6:23 pm
people trusted me with their money. the story of the family has spread into care prompting donations to the orphans partner was so worried about under the rubble. the could take comfort in knowing that through their actions, the old deal that ended belie of life has started a new chapter in the lives of others. an incredible story then incredible family. when i spoke with them, and i asked my coach where does your devotion to helping kids come from? she mentioned an incident to me. she said after she got married, the financial situation was not that good. and the times came when had kids with cry for candy, and they simply couldn't get candy for them. and in that moment she said, she decided to devote her life to helping particularly kids and orphans in need. while people in need is a broad theme here into care know kinds of needs, including medical ones. we can now go to today's
6:24 pm
a bow and how to and how to talk about some of those medical needs, how they taking care of it that theresa while there are stories of despair of pain of loss everywhere in this part of the country. this past few days, we've been talking to people all across the region and you know, loss and despair is plenty. we're right now, it's a field hospital. this was established by the indonesian government assisting people, helping people in the flow of those coming here. if constant they come with respiratory problems, some of them are telling us it's because of a cold. others are saying that is because of the rubble that is in the year of the dust that isn't the rubber. that is having an impact on their health. we're seeing entire family, some of them with high pressure, other we fever, among so many other things. and many of those people are still leaving out doors intense, saying that they have lost their homes and many are afraid to go back to their homes. are experts here into kia,
6:25 pm
are saying that there's several active whole plans of the possibilities of aftershocks of another earthquake are high. so people are afraid of going back to the home. but among the issues that we've been talking to, their women humanitarian are going to stations are extremely concerned about the impact that the earthquake is having on women and especially pregnant women. because many of them thousands of them, they're saying will be giving birth in the, in the next month. and we've been talking to some of them. and this is our report. i mean, i left the pregnant and without a home she has been living in attend, in shallow, far to the earthquake, destroyed her house 2 weeks ago, a refuge from the war in syria. she has been living into kia for 5 years and i am looking for a place to rest and hopefully hospitals will be in a good condition. we hope the situation will get better. i'm pregnant and the
6:26 pm
situation is difficult for everyone. the un says over 1500000 houses have been destroyed, and many of the victims are now living in camps like this one. health care is a major concern for humanitarian organizations, especially among women. thousands of them are expected to give birth in the next month, and many hospitals around this area have been destroyed. and that's why it is a concern that they'll be able to do it in a safe way. the united nations has deployed doctors and nurses intent comes to check on how women are coping with a disaster. jackie, they had her baby 2 weeks ago and is also living in attend. we are scared and cannot go back to our home because it is all damaged. it's warm here and better for the baby. there are also providing women with medication and treatments. some i read risk of miscarriage. the u. n. is estimating at least
6:27 pm
$25000.00 birds in the next month. unfortunately, many of the house places were either destructive or they are not in. they are not operating at the moment. but what we are doing within our capacity as supporting and working together with the ministry of how to ensure that section and productive health services continue. we need urgency to provide mobile storage clinics and other support services for to ensure women and goes access to the services. the turkish government has promised to fast track with building. but until that happens, the hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people who have been left without a home base, i will, i'll just, cedar, shall we will far too vulnerable. people being left, that's a big theme here as well. and a lot of people, as we've been explained to,
6:28 pm
they've been less homeless sadly by the earthquakes. but even those who have home still standing, as i said, beg, explains sometimes to afraid to return cold and afraid fall in 3 earthquakes in the space of 2 weeks. many people don't feel safe in the homes. they're sleeping in the open areas like park and carport mccomb took my losses when it's dark. my son starts to say, mom, can we go to the cafe mom? the chandeliers shaking. when someone touches the table, my son gets afraid and says, there is an earthquake, my children feel safe for i side. so we stay at side in our cars. the fire keeps their hands warm, but it's the kindness of strangers that warms their hearts also fall to our house was marked as slightly damaged, but we couldn't answer for 2 weeks. we didn't have gas and water. we had babies and small children. so we stayed here for 2 weeks. we were lucky, this restaurant open its door to us. so instead of staying in attends or sleeping
6:29 pm
in the car, we stayed there. may god bless her. most of the city of 2000000 have been told by authorities, the homes are safe, but many don't believe that there are no fish in numbers and how many buildings are secure and does the enter. predictions are further earthquakes and social media of heightened people's sense of fear. our house was checked by the authorities and we went back in. the building was marked as slightly damaged with 95 percent non damaged, but the walls are cracked psychologically. we are afraid to go back in, especially as the aftershocks and the latest ethnic madness. wife says she'd rather brave the cold than the 9th floor of the building. it shakes every time. it's enough to shop. we've seen residents across the city. the thing in the cars and in the park, they've been traumatized so much by the earthquakes that nothing can reassure them . to return to the home. i said vague. i just got into the
6:30 pm
me. all right, we can now join dot com model. be paul, he is a psychiatrist from the syrian american medical society, joins us now live good to have you with us. so 1st of all, let's start with some of the trauma. some of the psychological issues that you've been seeing as a result of these earthquakes. i need you to experience this is something new. they are living with us through the 1st a quick. then after that, when the addition of pretty quick took place, they started having more children are having difficulty getting a proper meals and their buttons are also embedding most of the adults also what is the about the,
6:31 pm
about the lives children lives. so this is making it difficult for kids. they are getting into some aggressive behaviors, getting back to a younger age or behaviors, a not feeling well. they have a list of domains on some of them. if they are what they eat, there is different the presentation for the psychological effect or b a r d, i'm just unable to support that if they are taking care of themselves. how difficult or how easy is it to try and provide support to the people who are
6:32 pm
suffering from the psychological impact of the earthquake, particularly to the children you mentioned when so many people in such a wide area have been exposed to this trauma, this is not just like a normal, if there is such a thing as a normal but a single incident where a person or a few people are exposed to trauma, the entire family, the entire neighborhood, the entire region has been traumatized. that the actually the, the issue is to start with a relation to make them feel a little bit easy to tell them or to educate them about the consequences of that with who no one defined their own feelings to be able to express their feeling when they expressed that feeling with comfortable then they can, they can help their kids go back to, to, to have
6:33 pm
a feeling. and safety is the major issue. and the way we can make the kids feel safe when we effective or we can make this and we need to educate people to get information 1st from the level sources. because, you know, social media is filled with. and he was often your essay quick. and this is submitting banning actually even the government is working with those who submitted fake news and trying to make sure that we will get the right news for the sources that a level this is number one, number 2, the safety audit from it is being taught here in schools, so we are asking barons to remind their kids to remember what they have been taught in school doing it that they can stay safe,
6:34 pm
even if there is an if it week by being in this is that is more safe, a tool to move after the, if the, if they want to move to move after the bus to get out of the building, they to go to the abilene. police is actually here also the government is trying to work a lot on creating these using the available spaces for the families. and talk in sooner, normalizing their date by having a daily routine is one of the effective measures that we are getting back to the kids that they are still save. and we want to keep on you. yeah. so did so many things as where i was at all i have dr. ahmad because thank you so much for joining us. yes, thank you very much for sharing that with us. our coverage has to continue. i must
6:35 pm
say that we have been seeing psychological care givers. i was surprised to see them even that some of the rubble spots. but this is a country with a lot of people who've been traumatized, and one of the common complaints or concerns you hear from people is that they are very homes, have become a source of fear for them. now, back to you in doha, thank you very much. that is a semi site and for us and adena, well still ahead on al jazeera, toxic fumes, why residents from a small town in ohio are afraid to go home. panama book this spot at the women's world cup for the 1st time. that is coming out and sport with peter. ah, a story of love, patient, and payable. now what, what forces me to live in that camp is my love for him. oh it is you to world fellows this trouble only

6:37 pm
a watching l, just a reminder of our top story, the south, the senate candidate and nigeria has been killed by gunman, a hit and saturdays election. bol hugo shook, who was attacked on wednesday, in se, and nuclear stays. he was returning from a campaign rally for his opposition labor policy. israel has carried out and strikes on the gallons a strip. it comes off to him. i said it would respond to the killings of at least a live in palestinians during a ride by israeli forces and novelists on wednesday. in less than 24 hours, the war and ukraine will into its 2nd year. thousands of people have died. millions have been displaced in the country has been devastated by the fighting since rushes invasion who after nearly a year of war here is the current situation on the ground. russia controls much of
6:38 pm
the territory east of that in the pro river, but the ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn, reclaim swathes of land in the north and south, including the key city of her song. now the front line is concentrated on the city of buck mode, which presents landscape is, has been turned to ruins by the russian offensive. look around, a gurgle which is a senior lecturer as united states study center in the university of sydney. she joined us from berlin. thank you very much for being on this news. our earlier we mentioned that china says it's got a plan to win the war. and do you have any idea of what that could be? well, everyone a eager to hear what that plan is, but certainly we know where china has been for the past year, and that has been a position that was announced just in the lead up to the war in ukraine when russia and china wailed what was been announced as the no limit strategic partnership.
6:39 pm
it's hard to see how this could be a plan that would be sort of neutral party plan that is willing to really push and kind of make an effort towards the peaceful resolution. what's more, we are hearing the, the announcement of some sort of peace plan when at the same time, we've also heard some news that china was doing with the idea of supplying weapons to russia. something that hasn't been happening that far. but obviously that happened than any sort of plan of kind of proposing piece would be seen as completely incredible. i mean, how would that you have china to go ahead and give arms to, to russia? how would that impact the war? i mean, they would obviously give russians a major advantage, wouldn't it? well, for sure, china, his already attitude is a bit of a lifeline to russia. given the unprecedented magnitude and extent of
6:40 pm

6:41 pm
a style might at this point in time? well, in the world of academy, and i think commentary tech think that there is a consensus now that they swore is currently in a phase of being a war of attrition. so in essence, what you're alluding to the kind of grinding get out to sort of very incremental changes on the field is what we've been seeing for the past at least several months . and certainly since that big counter offensive that the ukranian military had been able to mount back in september. so what the next couple of months we'll deliver is we are already seeing some form of mobilization part of russia. we've already seen that some of these potential detraction where we are increasingly hearing that front might be extending as far as beller would send down
6:42 pm
to more. but also now with the delivery of weapons that the width promise to crane ukrainian military certainly doing what it can to try to reclaim as much of the occupied territory in the, in the coming months of spring. okay, we will have to leave it there. thank you. so much for your time that is gone. a good senior lecture at united states study center in the university of sydney. thank you. measure we have a week long special series on the far reaching consequences of the ukraine war a year into the conflict. make sure you tune in after this. we will explore both sides, military strategies and how the war is fueling and new global arms. rice, or to other news, and more than 2 weeks after a toxic train crash in ohio. residents are still waiting to hear what calls the derailment. the u. s. president joe biden has waded into the ro, telling train,

6:44 pm
which ultimately failed. leading to the derailment. the ceremony that happened on february 3rd lead to no injuries or deaths, but it did lead to this hazardous waste of spill of $435.00 leaders of vinyl chloride, which is a very toxic chemical use to make artificial leather among other plastics. well, that was unstable, it could have erupt into flames. and so a few days after the derailment, it was decided by the railroad company and local responders to have a control burn for that chemical to be released into the air. but to be dissipated by fire. course we saw that huge womb of toxic smoke about 2000. some residents were commanded to evacuate this entire town of east palestine. was a ghost town when that happened. and the rural company said it was a success. which brings us to the question then why these health concerns which you
6:45 pm
mention people reporting now of headaches of burning sensation, animals getting sick even in fact, in the days right after that for not more than 3000 fish died in the surrounding waterways. all of those are obviously concerning people as they're showing up now trying to get those health concerns addressed. and now the environmental protection agency, of course, as it's continuing to monitor the situation, they say they have not detected any harmful comp chemicals in the air or the water . but the people here are still very hesitant to believe that. how do you, how was the clean up going though, you know, obviously you know, $435.00 latest is a lot to, to try and more pop we're is it at, at the moment? that's right, because i, you know, the soil that it was leached in to remain still at the site. in fact, i was just there
