medical supplies. that means to them at a hail for me, while they wait for reinforcements, they manage as best they can. and that requires harnessing all the resources available and improvising hardy and that that will awesome. we've switched all the wards from cardiac care to surgical care month. how, what at the most of the wards have been completely transform as of the smoke amen. the entire staff has been called in for a full week because of the tremendous pressure on the hospital now, not from the heart of the land. and we also have a shortage of medicine and our stock lyles under him. ken ludwig live on more health is on the way to this hospital close to the turkish border. and advanced team from a spanish aid organization is paying the hospital a visit to lay the groundwork. it's hoped they'll soon have an emergency hospital up and running to help boost treatment capacity. here one al correspondent mohammed

has been battling against the odds in turkey and syria, but time for saving victims is running out. death in the region have now exceeded 25000. it was an operation, rescuers called a miracle in the southern turkish city of kiera. can we follow the story of a woman named zane ep cruz worked tirelessly to free her from the rubble. zainab sister kept vigil at the site and even went down into the rebel to speak with her dead. i should come even now. here's the god. it's 9 now the soon after spending more than 100 hours trapped, zainab was pulled out alive. but the elation of her family and rescuers was cut short zainab to come to her injuries. the next day in the hospital dw

spoke to the team. hi my operation. or we would get, we gave her the chance to say goodbye. we gave her brother her sister the chance to say good bye. she didn't die alone in the rubble. and this is a very important part of the job. barry and turkey has not seen devastation on this scale in decades. kara man, mirage is the turkish city closest to the epi centre parts of it were flattened in the quake, and aftershock, emergency teams and residents are working against the clock to find those still alive. for some hope is waning as help has been slow to arrive. moisturizer bears, children's version of civilian 5 of my relatives are still in all women. we haven't heard from them in 5 days. only now have they started to look for them. before that they didn't do anything to her to renew her after to go there is no electricity. so

what my aunt that we slapped an attempt to walk with. we slept on the street for 3 days and it's been raining so much. i don't want to know so good was in sickness we have food and water and also hating what we don't have technical equipment, nothing to cut through the iron balls to break the cement missile. it's just not enough. it is president wretched tie up there to want address criticism of his government's response to the disaster. acknowledging there had been delays in reaching victims. critics also accuse them of failing to implement infrastructure reforms. nations from around the world are sending rescue teams and aid to the region. relatives have not given up hope on finding survivors as efforts turned towards housing and helping those who have survived the quake. for more, let's bring in our corresponded and if stumble, dorian jones, dorian,

many survivors are still waiting for helps, but some aid groups have now said that it is too dangerous to continue work there. what can you tell us about the security situation? you know, those great could serve about this as be proposed, solve some clashes between the citizens in the region, possibly syrian refugees and tucks. although that hasn't been confirmed, but it just on the lines, the growing desperation that this region is facing. there were 8 a team of australia and rescue workers who had to withdraw from the scene of upkept building because of our confrontation, wrapped it around them. and there was concerns as the days unfold, that these tensions could flip or escalate. there was growing, chris's and still the build on not enough aid is being delivered specially with hundreds of thousands of people. many of them are living still on the streets with no shelter, not even 10 for even access to hot drinks or, or hartwell food. and even though there's a government assist,

so they all deploy more and more resources that the monthly facing seems to expand actually increase so that it does appear, they are really struggling over this. we even get reports where there are many villages in the region that still haven't received any support or any rescue efforts. and they're even talks of desperate efforts of, of even former radi drive as taking their full by full to go to bring help to these villages. such still haven't received any support, right. her desperate situation, indeed, at the same time, were hearing reports that turkish police have detained several people in connection to the thousands of collapse buildings who is to blame for the disaster. that is really a growing concern is why so many of these buildings failed in such a dramatic way. thousands upon thousands of buildings have collapsed now. they took, he does have very strict building regulations in the optim off of

a devastating up break. just outside of the stumbled in 1999, they set up a time. they meant to be some of the strictest in the world. to show that you would not see these dramatic catastrophic failures of multi story apartment blocks. but again, we are witnessing the scenes of fail buildings now the government said that they will bring on hold to account anyone has seemed to have broken law and failed in these regulation. but there is growing criticism over the fact the 5 years ago, the government, i'm the, the over building. so i didn't comply with the upgrade regulation. if the contractors pay the fine and call the stomach. but they say many 100000 building in the area that struck by the upgrade took advantage of the the so that will be growing question over the governments are handling and enforcing all these regulation. but as we speak, yes, there are more contract. is that all being to take another one in this stumbled to take just a few hours go this evening. so there is pressure out on these building constructors and pressure from people who want justice. wide. just briefly dorian,

from what you're saying and giving the scale of the quakes. could this disaster have been prevented? was this inevitable? a precedent treasure typo on always insist that this is a once in a century event. nowhere. no one has experienced 2 successive powerful quakes within a matter of hours. that said, inevitably that will be failings. but having said that, i witnessed the earthquake in 1001009. and again, you saw apartment box apartment bought catching, but one building standing. that raises the question, one can stand, why could all the others fail? and again, we have same, same image is all over this quite strict regional street, upon streets of fail building, but one building stands that raises the question again, how one can scram withstand? these are breaks, but others fail, and that will be a question that god will be facing going forward. dorian jones reporting from east ample. thank you so much, dorian and out of some of the other stories making news around the welt. trucks are transporting aid from armenia into to t across
