huge strain on the turkish health care system. did o e correspond. jack barrick is standing by outside a refugee camp in gaussian tip where people who have lost their homes from the earthquake of found shelter. jack, what have you been seeing? hi, good morning. been, well, this is sort of just waking up time here in this one very small camp on a car park in one place in garcia's tap and there are hundreds of camps just like this one filled with people that have lost their homes. people whose homes are not yet safe to return to. and people who have come in to gassy, untapped from the surrounding region. we just spoke to this family that are having their breakfast in there. that morning. coffee behind us and their house is actually just down the road is not very far away, but the gentleman was showing us the cracks in the walls and that they're not ready to return yet. and as i say,

there are many small little comes and indeed bigger ones, all over the city of cassandra, which is a city of 2000000 people. not very many of the people that the population of this city have yet returned to their homes for fears of the structural damage to the buildings. what's the set up like, what, what, what are people saying that they need in these camps? well, there's some really differing needs across the city and across the whole region here in turkey. and of course, in syria as well for the people here. these are turkish people that living as the and have have lived in homes their entire lives. they have find themselves in the last 9 days or so, living in tens. this is a very new experience for them in this region of a series of turkey, there are a lot of syrian refugees that have come in. now those are people that have already lived in refugee camps before, and so they have different needs and there are some seeming divisions,

psychologically between those 2 groups of people. and that is something that a workers have told us is starting to become something of a concern, but fundamentally is dropped massively and temperature overnight. well into the minus 3 minus 4 degrees celsius. there are real concerns about a sort of additional humanitarian issue of people getting very cold. doctors have told us there are lots of issues around about lung infections and people having difficulty with breathing. the whole of gas, the am tap, has a sort of sickly sticky taste in the mouth where inside the tent they are burning and different materials to try and keep themselves warm. so across a whole city there's a sort of linger in the air, and the aid organizations are saying that something needs to be done as soon as possible to prevent this becoming a bigger crisis than just what, what, what the earthquake caused jack, what do you mean exactly, by psychological divisions. well, i think the reality is,

is that for a lot of people, they've lost their loved ones. so that's an incredibly difficult thing to go through. and some people have just lost their homes. as i said, some people are being re refugee, they've been refugees and found a place here in got the answer for the region. so these are concerns that are very differing. and the overwhelming sadness and grief in this area is obviously causing a lot of people to feel systems to feel that this is an even more difficult time. you know that they're living intends on the streets for these people. this is a carpet, they would have walked past many times over their whole lives and that finding themselves living on it. as i say, the 8 organizations are keen that this doesn't spiral out of control. and what they want is the buildings to be cleared. as soon as possible cleared eva sort of destroyed to be rebuilt. and they say that rebuilding is extremely important. or to be clear for people to return to,

to try and get as many people off the streets as they possibly can. and the question being of course, how long they're going to be stuck in these refugee camps jetpack for us. thank you very much for your voting. let's get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines. in new zealand, at least 3 people have been killed and more than 200000 left without electricity. after the country was hit by psycho gabrielle authorities have declared a national state of emergency to deal with the extensive damage. torrential rains triggered flooding and land slides. that rate have a con, roads and infrastructure. a service has been held in portland, florida to mount the 5 year anniversary of a school shooting that left 17 people dead. the memorial comes just a day after 3 people were killed in the latest mass shooting at a university of michigan. u. s. president joe biden again demanded that lawmakers take action against what he called americas gun violence epidemic. rio de janeiro is gearing up for its 1st full scale carnival since before the corona virus
