cut short as hopes of finding survivors fade attention turns to burying the dead in hot eye province sculls allayed to rest in mass graves. as more bodies continue to arrive on the streets of untouchable, there are concerns over security and civil unrest. a shop saluted an atm, ransacked in the big deal. if people take diapers, food and drinks from supermarkets, it's normal. there's been no help for days. but some people are strange, they take a cooker or a coffee machine. in the market that we watch our houses,

our vehicles looted, looted houses. unfortunately, there's nothing to say. yeah. where devastated upset up or what we are experiencing is like a nightmare. her mother is younger, there is it. so the solution dozens have been arrested. and turkish president recipe type err to one. want those looting and committing of the crimes would feel a firm hand of the state on their box. german rescue work as an austrian soldiers were temporarily forced to halt operations owing to growing security concerns. and as soon it's very typical that the security situation gets a bit more 10 socket. that's partly due to the fact that food is now running out of water supplies are running out of it and then people out searching for food and water after. so when a 2nd thing is that the hope that people had is now increasingly fading at that hope can then also turn into anger. is often an all in woodland long. hm. almost

a week on from the earthquake. the importance of protecting the rescue operation is clear. as a 12 year old child is pulled alike from the rubble. in a rare moment of visible relief. earlier i spoke with the mud boncey who is with the international network for aid relief and assistance in ira you mud is now in a done a turkey and he described the situation in the affected areas today almost a week since the queen said, well, look, all day deriving from home to work, rescue workers organizations. everybody's coming together now. now it's time to put the writer downs and start targeting people on august on the streets. i'm able to provide their baby needs. so now they're good for breaking with them. are able

no, we can't see much what's happening. it's worth it mostly. how does that sort of social unrest? no impact on the work that you were trying to do. again, we can't see much social movement in all areas. but a girl that trying to move into the moment, much older people to reach old labs for things that we can still hear. voices of people shopping, quoting from on the rescue. workers continue with mansion if you can't imagine how much,
