the devastating earthquake has struck an unimaginable blow it. assyrians, already struggling with years of civil war. many of the people living in the latter kia province had fleet, the fighting, and it lab only for disaster to hit their new homes. community leaders say many refugees were living in these collapsed buildings and i've been young bobby remarked, or margaret, my cousin and his wife have 3 children. we do not know anything about them. their home is on the 2nd floor, nor swollen my palm. the united nations estimates 3 and a half 1000000 people may now be homeless after the quakes, which have killed thousands of others. but assistance has been slow relief if it's hampered by the complications of more. 7 and roads damaged by the shaking. in a carefully choreographed tour of the quake zone, president bashar al assad visited

a hospital. he has agreed to international demands to allow aid into regions, not under state control, meaning it no longer needs to go via damascus. clerical . luckily in a 2nd, un 8 convoy entered a short time ago consisting of 14 tracks loaded with various relief supplies and materials for tans or hygiene and some food ivy. but will be handed over to an organization. partnering with un operating and liberating areas. rooms at home from there, the 8 will be distributed to those affected by the earthquake with power outages and a lack of food and shelter the races on to get assistance to those struggling to survive . the earthquake response now turning into a desperate humanitarian situation, dealing another blow to assyrians, who have already endured so much. we're now joined by augment byron from the norwegian refugee council based in amman. jordan,

that provides help the syrian refugees there. augment what is the single most challenging task humanitarian organizations like yours faced right now in syria client. the challenges are both too many. the biggest will be. one of them is the overwhelming nature that is off. we talking about millions of people affected millions of people who have, you know, walk off with no home. and people are saying and collect shelters where there's not enough food. there's not enough heating, there's not enough water. people have to sometimes walk outside a few kilometers to just get to the nearest bathroom. and so when the situation is very overwhelming and with the, with the trickle on that we have seen so far, it's going to make everything more challenging despite the good, the hopeful and optimistic trick with, with hearing on the ground, the situation off on the ground as we speak, and they are talking about the massive,

massive challenge ahead of everyone. you talk about the fact that people are waking up and finding out that they are homeless and they do go into shelters that are not exactly up to speed, so to speak. who, how is that situation going to be rectified when you have thousands of people trying to make home in the shelters and those shelters are, are not providing the basic needs that people people have absolutely, absolutely, we've learned from folk is if the, if the prices that you know, is staying away from home, comes with, with the, with the whole catalogue of challenges. i mean, people are, have to say in overcrowded shelton now a lot of the thing. well, i mean, this is of the, one of the issues that i have not been you know, how good to know the impact on children's mental health children here for the, for slightly, you know,

to some extent that they overcome the 12 years. and now the, the go stand, dogs movies will have come back the k to the solution ahead of everyone is huge. and simply because a lot of these people were talking about, i think that the numbers on that was over 5000000 people affected by, by this a lot of those were not the go back home. and that mean long term place on top of another way, the places the crisis and that's what he wants to come together. the human government says it will allow aid to be delivered into rebel held areas. how confident are you that this will indeed help relieve the situation? i mean, we've been, we've been saying this full spot for 5 days. we need to explore all fronts, all modalities or routes that, that the mission is one. and of course the challenges one for everyone which is to get people, you know, people out out from,

under the rubble alive. and at the same time, the tend to those who are in shelters. now of course we, we work across student government areas and we are providing aid as we speak. and we are, of course, in place like like like how, like, like it is where we know that, you know, every little decision here or back and go a long way to helping you and help to find help people overcome this. this overwhelming disaster. this is why you think that recently the recent base with the last 24 hours, we have a lot of good progress on that from now it's, it's time for action and time for those you know, the big, big go on as the international power. just saw pushing this file and for saw funding. the design has, you know, overwhelmed,

everyone has evolved the whole of the, the north and central of syria. yeah. yeah. i think we will have to in there that is a mid byron from the norwegian refugee cancel in aman jordan. many, many thanks. thank you. in turkey where the death toll has top 20000, the cold weather is also setting in in fears. grow that few more victims will emerge from the ruins. but there have been some incredible stories of survival in turkeys, a tie province, dw, witness. a german teen pole. a woman from the rubble in an operation lasting more than 2 days. deep under the rubble trapped beneath layers of concrete, here in the town of carrie con, is 40 year old zainab. she's been trapped under this debris for days now.

but there is hope she will make it out alive. a complex mission to free her is underway, involving a team of german rescuers and using drills and specials equipment. they've been able to cut a path to her. oh all right. i under surface, sitting amongst the rubble is debated. they naps, younger sister. she's been here since monday, waiting and worrying and in a desperate attempt to give her sister the strength she needs to keep going. zabeda

bravely heads under ground. later showing us a video of the moment they shared beneath the rubble. the name? debated it. oh yeah. oh yes, i'm a or warm so they may i should go even if she is the guy that 9 i be saying. i need 1. 9. zayna is buried very deep under the rubble. i could only hear her voice. i can no longer hold out, save me. she said, i'm in so much pain. help me cool young to me than they are. the

rescue team works deep into the night offerings, a beta all the comfort they can even go shopping with a day attempt to free her sister. and by the early hours of friday morning, there is good news. after 50 hours of non stop work rescue workers miraculously pull zane up out alive. she sat to be in stable condition. the relief is overwhelming. alleged. we're all just so relieved, so relieved the swimming. she got herself through it, yet she didn't give up. is an allison dog, we are so thankful that she is in this ambulance now and i have no words absolutely on the attention was extreme really up there. when she was out,

i said now i believe in miracles. after 100 hours fighting for her life and they know it's free and her sister's desperate weight is finally over. other stores now making news around the world at this hour, russia has launched their renewed attack on ukraine civilian infrastructure. the latest wave of strikes included drones, rockets in cruise missiles, many of which were shot down ukrainian officials in the dumb boss say russia is ramping up it's attacks as part of the major offensive expected this month. authorities in chile have arrested at least 20 people suspected of starting forest fires. the blazes have killed dozens as drought and record temperatures fuel the flames. a curfew is in force in the worst sheet areas. the u. s.

military has shot down an unidentified object over alaska, on orders from president joe biden. official say it posed a threat to civilian flights. the u. s. air force down to suspected chinese spy balloon. last week. the white house says it's not clear where the latest object came from, out of an abundance of caution, and the recommendation of the pentagon president biden ordered the military to down the object and they did. and it came to an inside our territorial waters. we have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose, or origin. the object was about the size of a small car, so not similar in size or shape to the high altitude surveillance balloon that was taken down off the coast of south carolina. on february 4. we don't have any information that we can from a stated purpose for this object. we do expect to be able to recover the debris

since it fell, not only within our territorial space, but on what we, what we believe is frozen water. so recovery effort will be made. we shall washington correspondents, who misunderstand what this incident and the one last week involving a chinese balloon mean for us security. so the parent was actually asked that question and in a press conference earlier on friday. and the question was, you know, how's the us now essentially reassess national security with chinese, my balloon incident this object and the spokesperson said that really anything that is considered a threat to national security, of course, is dealt with. and that this particular object was deemed a risk to civilian aircraft, as i said, but the reality is where he lived, that the country is on high alert, and there are also political considerations at play. here us, president biden has been heavily criticized particularly by republicans who accuse

him of allowing the chinese spy balloon to fly over the country over sensitive military sites. they've called him week in the face of china. so i think it is safe to say that that pressure, at least somewhat informed at the decision to shoot down the object off the coast of alaska. but we still, as i said, need to find out more information about what the object was and what was behind it . and we will, and if they are you watching t w news up next shift living in the digital age, which looks at the perils facing children in virtual reality a michael ok, thanks for watching more news again at the top of the out with how about taking a few rest, you could even take a chance on what i rearing to ah, don't expect
