and it's exactly a month since 2 major earthquakes hit southern took here and northwest syria, killing more than $51000.00 people. human and financial costs have been huge and sir care the government says a 173000 buildings collapsed, was severely damaged. that's left between 1500000 and 1900000 people needing shelter. the world bank estimates the damage to be more than $34000000000.00, which is around 4 percent of the turkish g. d. p. in syria. more than 10000 bills were destroyed or severely damaged, displacing at least a 105000 households. although some estimates are significantly higher, the world bank says the destruction there totals about $5000000000.00, some 10 percent of serious g d p. well, the full extent of the catastrophe is now becoming clear, but a month on many people are still searching for their missing relatives from her tie . and if world reports, this is what's called

a cemetery of the unknown. it's one of the many where those who lost their lives in earthquakes in southern trickier are buried. but their identities were never recorded. like lots of others to bark, kara has been asked to give a dna test and apply to authorities for any news of her husband. young highland about his we are done always help me with. we still cannot get any news about him. we cannot reach him from anywhere. we looked at every place we were supposed to even to the cemeteries. we did the all the warehouse dynamic. i dont know if someone took him to hospital or maybe he lost his memory because we cannot find him anywhere. but along in the weeks after the quakes struck, many of the dead were buried without being identified. now they are relatives are trying to find them. marianne yielded from what i is a mother of 3. she said to her 3 children, but her 7 year old son childish is still missing. when i called on it,

i don't think his dead. i've never felt his dead mother. i believe my son will come back to me safe and sound and get it in to do. ma'am says she heard from witnesses that her son was pulled out alive, or the old lady told me a boy looking like my son was taken by some people, but she didn't know who they were. to find a missing person. family members give samples of their dna to the police and wait for them to check their records. photos and dna swaps taken from the dead have been recorded since the 1st day of the disaster. the government hasn't officially said how many people are still missing. many family members are trying to find their loved ones by putting ads like these in different parts. so to city, they're hoping that someone will recognize them so they can be re united again, al jazeera, catseye for more than $100.00. unaccompanied miners have been found inside and abandoned cheda, the mexican states as their crews and trailer,

the fans and ventilation ports cut into the roof. the migrants war, color coded list bands to identify them as a clients of smugglers. well, there's been a significant increase the number of people from central america trying to cross into mexico since last year. i know the apple joins us live, not from mexico city, so another deeply disturbing discovery highlighting the plight of migrants in this case, mine is as well certainly, and certainly a case of a large scale human smuggling here in the eastern mexico. the latest that we've heard from mexico's national, my immigration institute confirms that number is 343 migrants found in the back of this freight truck found alive, 103 of them reportedly unaccompanied miners. this freight truck was found abandoned in the state of vera cruz in eastern mexico. this is a state that's very popular among migrants from southern mexico,

from central america as well. south america were making their way north toward the united states. stuffing these trucks with migrants. unfortunately, it is a very common practice for human smugglers. unfortunately, these accidents are also for to come in as soon as we started hearing these news lines coming out of vera cruz, our crew for al jazeera, here in mexico city, i think immediately thought back to a story that we reported on just last year in june. in san antonio were 53 migrants were found dead in the back of a freight truck dying at who had died of as fixation of of heat stroke. fortunately, even though this case in vera cruise was very similar to what happened last year in san antonio. as you mentioned there in your introduction, carrie, there was a certain level of sophistication to this specific case. there were fans built in a ventilation system built into this truck. so even though the truck driver did abandon the migrants, they didn't suffocate,

they still had air. they could still breathe inside of that truck. so as far as we know, all $343.00 migrants, including a $103.00 on accompanied minors, were unharmed. there's one more thing that we should mention here. you mentioned this as well as those color coded bracelets that they were wearing this again, points to these practices by human smugglers. here in mexico, which are often operating in, within a much larger network, a much more, a sophisticated network. we're talking also about criminal groups. cartels that are now involved in human smugly finding that it's actually more lucre have to move human beings across mexico and illegally into the united states than it is to smuggle, to smuggle drugs. but again, we're not always seeing numbers. this big 343 migrants is certainly a very large number. but these incidents involving migrants being found in the back of trailers or accidents involving migrants are very common here in mexico just last month. in february, 14 migrants were killed in monterey february, 19th of 15,

migrants killed in while haka. unfortunately, these are instances that we can only expect to continue to happen because again, human smugglers find that it's a very lucrative business to move people illegally here in mexico. okay, mar, thanks for that update from mexico city opposition candidates to nigeria protesting against the results of last week's presidential election. they're rejecting the outcome and are planning to challenge it in court. but to new view of the governing party was declared the winner with 37 percent of the vote. and interest has more from the partners while i buy it done. did it on the people's democratic quote to himself, how do i go look at what's running $4.00 to $6.00 times in this election? he just am on the constellation of the election that, sir, but it murders of one i'm. it was declared by the electoral commission as the winner of the february 25, our presidential election. he and another key opposition candidate. mister peter will be of the neighbor.
