and international aid effort is now underway with the united states. the european union, nato, israel, and even ukraine offering assistance. the 1st quick hit overnights, but there was still, unfortunately more to go from the skies. the scale of the devastation caused by the giant quake is laid bare hitting in the early hours. it caused tremors that levelled entire sections of cities with hundreds of buildings collapsing as people were still asleep in their homes. authorities in turkey say as many as 10 provinces have been effected. this video posted online giving a sense that the damage caused in the city of caravan marsh. we do not know how far the number of dead and injured will rise as debris removal works, continue it,

and many buildings in the quake zone. our hope is that we will recover from this disaster with the least loss of life. rescue is now face at daunting task in the search force of ibis. their efforts impacted not only by the sheer size of the rubble piles but the i did danger of falling debris and even further collapses local tv cruise capturing the moment when a 2nd quite kits forcing people to run for their lives. the at the center of the quake was in southeast, in turkey, but it also hit parts of neighboring sylvia leaving a trail of devastation with members of serious opposition. civil defense force, also known as the white helmets, claiming many rebel held areas in the north west of the country are in a state of catastrophe. our themes responded to the

old, the sites and the buildings. and i still know many families know are under the rubble . oh, 005 our teams trying to serve them, trying to save their people to save the o, the people from on the level with all cavities. but it's, it's, it's very difficult us for us. we need help, we need the international community to do something. and there is some hope of that with international support now in its way and moments like this, providing some joy for rescues, raising expectations that more may be found alive. now we want to go to or corresponded dorian jones. he's standing by in istanbul door. you watched a situation right now in turkey. well with night descending across the region, the rescue work because of facing enough our enemy and that it's cold with

temperatures paloma teen below 0 coupled with snow and freezing rain, and that poses the risk of hypothermia. fulton. for those traps in the building of the many more of those on the streets whose homes have been destroyed, or they've been seeing those 2 unsafe stay in them and all prove that they we have seen more and more of these buildings collapsing like piles of called wall for more and more off the shots, and along with this of a very powerful earthquake striking the region. and with each of these collapse building comes a tragic story in the amana hotel was hosting to secondary school volleyball team. now that hotel is not more than a pile of rubble rescue work is trying to find any one else alive. and as the days and hours on hold, more or more of these tragic stories are expected of the country price itself for probably the worst crisis in living memory. in dory in the, the area that has been hit by these 2 quakes. tell me,

just about how populated it is because that of course, has a direct impact on being able to get heavy equipment. for example, in areas where they're trying to pull up big blocks of concrete to try to find survivors. well this area in the southern turkeys is very densely populated. now we have this massive powerful of quite one of the most powerful to strike the country in decades and a similar the powerful one following just a few hours later. it's an area that has 10 turkeys, larger cities, this whole area is home to around 13000000 people. know all of the cities have been very badly affected pictures of claps, buildings, whole st. public, 20 claps in many cases. and this is putting much neutral load of pressure on the say the emergency services turkey has experience of dealing with quakes as o countries, printer quakes. but it has never really faced the scale that it is all of 10 cities,

all being it similar, painlessly by this devastating of the powerful quake. and this is pushing emergency services to the limit. they all calls the military of the mobilize all across the country, mobile mobile, to teens on going to the area, but they getting the area to problem. one of the major pulled down that has been rendered useless by the quake. and many of the rows, the seem destroyed by the powerful quake and following off to shop, to getting to the airy, getting a motion to people. there is also a challenge, but the scale of this problem mean turkey is reaching out of bolt, is looking for international assistance to help with what is expected the days of really huge emergency efforts to find any one trapped in b condra. possibly thousands of buildings across this region in terms of rescue workers being able to get to people dory. what are you hearing because there was a 2nd quake that happened hours after the 1st quake, and there was enough time between these 2 tremors for rescue cruise to get to the

scene. and they were basically standing on piles of rubble. when the 2nd quake hit yeah that's, i mean, that's right. i mean, so the rescue work because they really are putting their lives in the ads because they, they are really many cases. they are just burying the powering deep into the clamps buildings to try and find people alive. it's really the only way to get the heavy lifting equipment is impossible because because of a collapsing the building. so you have the power in deep when that happens and there is a powerful, this powerful 2nd quite useful. many of the work is running for the lives of buildings all around them. but collapsing on top of that and on the face over a 100 off to shop, most shocked, but continue to shake already we can building. so these rescue work with really all monumental tough, very dangerous job, recording a lot of expertise, a lot of bravery. and i think that going for their pricing's also very difficult

days ahead. debbie's orient jones with the ladies tonight on these 2 major earthquakes in turkey and syria. dory. and thank you and we want to go now to jonathan brown. he is in operations manager at the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. jonathan, it's good to have you. with this. we've heard of been 2 major quakes now that rescue workers 8 organizations are having to deal with. could you tell us more about the work of your rescuers on the ground right now? thank you very much for having me and that you had appears the program is here. the moment at the moment is everything from specialized equipment which utilizing the access people to handing out kids to ensuring that says good communication to for, for families are looking for their loved ones. i really, it's a spectrum. everything from finding people, which now is the,

the window of opportunity. and as you see, we have seen some, many cases where people have been recovered, but really over the next few hours it was critical. and once we have people removed from the rubble, they need phases to say they need food and clothing every law, much of their stuff because they, they've left their homes to for the 1st the many have not returned. the 2nd earthquake then resulted in more homes collapsing, so it's really a spectrum of issues at the moment. if you are in a race, it gets time right now because you want to find as many survivors as possible. what do your workers, what do they need? right? now in through the night through the night it's time, it's probably the most important thing people need. but as you heard, it's hard to get the heavy equipment in that it's at the moment really, it's ensuring that those who are on the street,

those it doesn't have to homes are being looked off the warm they have food. those are in the rubble. and now many thousands of people still to be accounted for ensuring that the workers have the access lights the want to be able to keep working in jonathan, what do we know too about the situation in syria? the people in turkey, obviously i'm turkey has not been hit by a civil war. the way siri has for the past 10 years. that makes the situation there, particularly are in the it live province even more dangerous for the people who survived. what can you tell us about rescue efforts there tonight? why again, and that, that continuing. obviously here in turkey, there's many 108000 1000000 refugees to i'm from, from syria. so again, this situation is being, it's 5 hon. those who are still in syria,

of course the, the situation that facing is, is extreme just because of the fact that they don't already have resources that they're living on the edge. anyway. that said, the rescue workers are doing everything that he can to ensure that they're recovering as many people as possible and ensuring those who are recovered are accessing the assistance that they need. jonathan browns operations manager at the international federation of red cross and red crescent society johnson. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. thank you. we were talking about syria and there are many buildings there that were already in poor condition due to years of neglect during the countries war. and that has made the damage, particularly severe rescue efforts, are being hampered by poor infrastructure as well as bad weather. rebel held areas in the northwest of the country were among the hardest hit. the white helmet volunteer group says that it fears hundreds of people can still be trapped under

the rubble. and i'm joined now by young son shockey. he's the ceo of the marana foundation, which provides assistance to syrians from its headquarters in the city of gus, the intent, it's good to have you with this. what are you hearing right now about the situation there in northern siri? well, it's very bad. we've been communicating with my team and we set to ship them very shirts to have people who really did their houses and we're not looking at, as you mentioned, just like it building it. we're talking about the set, the met camps who are like it were destroyed and really walls were falling over to like people. why would they were sleeping and young said you're talking to us from inside your car and that's not just by chance, isn't there? are you, are you where it is? is it to be right now?

well honestly i didn't, but thinking that their store and the whole been thing was shaking, i drove around them in that check with the other colleagues and friends and it's not, there is no safe place i want to. i'm not only mean, i mean even say don't go back to building so we're not sure what going to happen tonight. we also traumatize to go and sleep in the same bed where we woke up for am was, was shaking. so we, i think that the cars and some small shelters were going to, that's the same 1st place, at least for, to buy in the numbers that we are getting, the figures that we're getting from syria. how reliable would you say that they are? i think it's a basic numbers as numbers, way more because what i'm communicating my team, even with that that we're having. and of course, with other agencies, un agencies and, and to my son agencies we get things that basic numbers that not to mention that the freezing of there, it's called. busy it's almost 0 temperature celsius and the like nose. so

basically it's, we're working and they're very, very harsh conditions. and at the same time, we have know that were sent to each to all the areas. and the area there in northwest syria, we know 10 years of civil war in the country. there's already a lot of physical destruction. the earthquake will just compound the suffering for the people there. i'm wondering that when we hear the red crescent, red cross societies are trying to get people and equipment into northern syria. how easy is that for them to do compared to the situation in southern turkey? deny? well, i mean it's, it's like it's a state, so you have a government, you have emergency team, we were walking the streets, we're getting text messages form about what we shouldn't do. i would not say we don't have this, we don't have government at the northwest area. we don't have government. we have

actually people who i, n g o as in civil society or trying to manage. and that side all difficulties. we very short term funding when it's being cut by the international community because other shows in different countries. so basically the hospitals like being cut over 50 percent. so we are the behind the medical supply. we are already behind winter, our kids and we already have the chunks and pants. and now we have this emergency and we used to say emergency within emergency plus we have great. i mean, you can imagine them not working for 47, was less wanting this equipment. so it's, it's hard. it's like, there's no way to describe it. yeah. well, you know, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight, sharing information about the situation there and we wish you and the people working with you, you know, all the best, especially getting through this 1st critical night. thank you. thank you for having
