7:06 am
a week after the quake has struck it's the sort of situation that still, even though as you mentioned there, it has been a week since the earthquake struck is very difficult for anyone who experienced it . and those of us who are coming and trying to respond to it to really truly comprehend, look, i was a war correspondent with cnn for 17 years. a lot of people have compared this to a war zone. from my perspective, this is not a war zone. this is something else entirely, the sheer level of destruction that happened over the sheer expanse of space that it happened over is not anything that anyone, any organization in recent memory has had to cope would. and the situation on the ground is growing increasingly desperate for those who are waiting for any kind of news from their loved ones. and for those of us who are trying to respond to the overwhelming needs that exist, we're talking about millions of, or at the same time,

a significant and very heart warming flood an outpouring of support for turkey. we have seen international crews from all over the world, sending in their rescue teams. we've seen 8 coming into turkey from land, from see from air turkey's response has been quite innovative. in some cases they've transformed fairies into moving a hospitals. they put universities in person education on hulu, and they are using university space as borne with worries. but that's on the torture side of the border. let's talk about what's happening. right, northwestern syria, you do not see any of that. the you on has barely been able to get a few trucks across that border. get an aide into that area. so bogged down in politics, it's almost despicable and all that being said and done though, despite this outpouring of a that we're seeing into turkey because of the sheer scale of it, it's not enough. look, i was out in the field all day yesterday. we have teams here,
7:09 am
there are countless families who are not receiving the aid that they need, and that's inside a turkey again and northwestern, syria, everything is needed. everyone needs a reuben been even here, you have families who are unable to access distribution points. you have people scattered over in the area that are so bad that aid is not reaching them. and then you have specifically what we at not are focusing on, which is targeted distributions to these families that either are not accessing aid or that have very specific needs. and then there's things that are generally innate baskets or talking about, you know, clean undergarments, or talking about battery acts and flashing lights because power keeps out and everyone wants to be able to stay in touch with their loved ones. and let me just go back to what northwestern syria for a moment, there a lack of assistance, a lack of heavy machinery, a lack of diesel to run the heavy machinery that was inside the country. a lack of humanitarian assistance being able to cross across the border not is killing people
