oh, [000:00:00;00] i think in the city of got the n said, which was the epicenter of the 1st earthquake has been severely damaged. multi story buildings have collapsed in fine neighborhoods, reduced to rubble. major polls suggest the city was one of the hardest hit it over 200 lives lost the document. text media posted these photos from southwestern tech here and tired residential blocks have been destroyed, leaving emergency workers scrambling to save those. still trapped under the rubble

is what the head of the earthquake risk assessment. sense intake here at to say this order. you can also go after we obtains the information and refined it with data from a large number of stations. the earthquake magnitude was determined to 7.7 points instead of 7.4. many countries have suffered similar aftershocks, 3 of which were higher than magnitude 6, and the largest of which was $6.00. we're asking people to stay away from buildings because aftershocks can still continue for a long time. we ask you not to believe information from dubious sources, because right now the most valuable information is useful in true information for our citizens. so we asked the press not to mislead anyone. lynn took, he is the southern kerman mirage province. the epicenter of the 2nd quake, where at 191, people have died. rescue teams all working tirelessly, searched for people underneath the debris. as many buildings are destroyed, the according to turkey is interior minister at sorts of $92.00 after shocks have been felt across the country. so far. the earthquakes have struck south central to

kia, as well as north west, syria, as well as part of lebanon and bay roots. the chimera have been felt as far away as iraq, georgia, and israel. the disaster has brought multiple destruction to civilian infrastructure . ah, in this video you can see a multi story building collapsing after the earthquake. as many as 1700 buildings are said to have been destroyed across the country. under the residential buildings have collapsed with more than 5000 people injured. of course, the human impact of the disaster is been felt across the country. images of local residence, grieving are circulating on social media with people in says, trying to support one another anxious as they wait for news of their loved ones. rescuers continue to pull victims from the rural. earlier we spoke to alper cusack,

the director general of international affairs and migration at the red crescent. and he says that weather conditions in some regions are making the situation worse . it's mostly a. busy better condition, it's not only cold or rainy, solving in some of the problems and it's raining in front of them. so it's all going on the minor michigan and the most challenging part of the next year. for now, the better to get deployed, we probably have infected to be able to support all of you, providing food and also emergency blanket permission for example, some hospital for disney impacted. we at establishing drop, hol, can outside the hospital for for 3, our service and hospital are now be implementing for doubling outside the home and

outside because the main state hospital is impacted. so we are deploying shelter to effective public. moving primarily and verified video. circulating online shows the aftermath inside a student dorm in a province report say that some people still remain trucks under the debris india, because of the video circulating shows. rescue workers giving 1st a young man who just been pulled from the wreckage. at least a death have been reported when an 8 story building collapse. we spoke with miss dumble based journalist, who said that local residents are concerned that the death will rise. everybody living here knows that the risk of an earthquake is pretty high. and in fact, we all live in fear of that of the big one that we're told one day. everybody knows somebody's been affected. if not somebody directly,

then call friends who have family and 10 or nearby some have been and they weren't affected. but most of them who lived there felt quick though i have called who are finding it very, very difficult to deal with the hiring in the media. i saw one colleague here earlier looking at the everyone is afraid of the casualty, the wounded. absolutely. they can go up, they can because the rescue operation is still under way. there are countless people still stuck in the russel, countless people being rushed to the hospital. we don't, we don't really know why this number can go remember it. 999 magnitude of 7.6 resulted in more than 800000 people. there is a, you know, a great concern that the number to that level of course. but we are hoping that

the neighboring syria, which has already been suffering from over a decades of war cities have been further devastated by the earthquake. the nation's health ministry has reported at least 461 death and the other 2000 injuries in the countries north western regions with people that are describing the disaster as an extremely high griffin and terrifying events. the footage of the another building collapse in a series of electro which along with the cities are comma and luck. you have suffered the most severe damage. while boy, as being funded life recovered from the rubble of a collapse building. this footage shows the moments rescue workers told him out, and also some disturbing images from the syrian italy region of numerous victims of the earth. i've now been hospitalized. according to media, emergency rooms are overcrowded of some victims awful to wait on the floor. independent journalist, vanessa bailey, who's now in the city of damascus,

says the rescue operations are being hampered by lack of equipment. there is been some material damage or in damascus, but the bulk of the devastation um is in the north and north west. of course, jordan and lebanon also felt the earthquake, those various images coming from lebanon, in particular from surveillance cameras showing the duration of the crate, which, which seemed to go on forever. and, and that is something that friends all around syria telling me that despite having survived 11 years of, of military war, economic war, political war, media war, this was the most terrifying night of their life for many of them. and that says something, the emergency services have been suffering from a lack of supply of equipment thanks to the western imposed located and barbaric

sanctions are. while they are doing their absolute fast, you know, they're dealing with really a disaster that is beyond their capability. we know that egypt, iran, russia, have all off the top and i'm quite sure that the russian military on the ground is doing old. so what they can, but you know, another thing to understand for people is that many of these buildings, particularly in a lap or during the 10 year war. the taurus had tunneled under these buildings, therefore making the foundations very unsafe. anyway. some of them had previously been vaccinated and so therefore, the underground areas are not here is going to bring down more buildings inevitable because the war has already made these areas so fragile. and this kind of earthquake is, is just horrendous. meanwhile, moscow, sending assistance to the effects of regions rescuers from bushes emergencies, ministry are now headed to the disaster zone. to aid in earthquakes,

aftermath less as russian president vladimir putin has offered to key on syria assistance to help the countries recover from the effects of the earthquakes of well expressed in his condolences over the deadly tragedy, russian emergency services will also be come to, accompanied by rescue jo, dogs to provide all these distance they come and with our shocks, felt as far away as israel videos posted on social media show lights shaken inside buildings and local residents running for safety. according to the spokesperson of united la and israeli volunteer emergency medical service, the danger has yet to pass us face of deadly after shocks remain were sleeping but some people walking up by your bed moving a little bit. there weren't any injuries reported gun. what we're really here is sending a mission mission to to turkey the we're focusing on on assisting

3070. we've also reached out to syria, to offer assistance will be taken. but we definitely have made the offer to the most important value that we all share. and whenever we are an aftershock, there was a pretty significant one not too long ago on the 4 point or the and continuing on there's more to that region. and in israel itself, we've been preparing for training for which area been like the one where major in israel 1st, you know, the entire region is on a flight and something which we're very much take into account your operations and protocols here in israel as well. we're joined now live by an eye witness to the devastation of the quake in turkey, tight yelton outside. thanks very much for finding the time to speak to us this evening. first of all,

really working hard to deal with the situation now. they need to all part of the city and the people are trying to go with that. try to get that because as you tried to do also, the transportation is a little, it's hard because people are very, it's and they're trying to go somewhere and it's thousands for up again. but now i'm trying to reach everybody and everybody can find the place easily. now i'm looking around to try to find people shattered because also now we are rehab, play a guy who also host us as they are, who also the private schools. you know, that that's kind of the big resistant places are open to a host of people who is nope, are you able to, are you able to return to your home now or not? no, no psychologically,

no cycle. no. because after the 2nd it wasn't asked to show nobody ready, 7.6. it's not the aftershock. it was another way. and half the 2nd grade. really, i'm not really thinking of going to home or even the near the home. now we are waiting for a, you know, at something someplace like where to which place where they don't have the building . now we can't go home now. yeah. i can, i don't know. maybe maybe i will move to another place also because i was living in the 11th floor and it was really, really, really, really terrifying. maybe i think i won't be able to go to that home again. now i can only imagine how traumatic that must have been for you and your family, the for sure. when it comes to sort of infrastructure. so i can see the light is on

behind your mobile communications work and just the water. how much of yeah, about, you know, after that kind of thing. so you always think after yourself, you think 1st, before your sub, you think your family, you think a blow swan and you tried to reach them and it wasn't any difficulties to reach one of our family member or the people who love. and there wasn't, there wasn't any problem for some indication. ok, well that's, well that's 1. 1 good thing at least now from what you've seen, how is the response from the emergency service has been they've been well prepared and efficient for thought. as far as any country can be for such a disaster. this magnitude yeah. you know, it's just that i hope it's not like that. and we have a weight which called the yeah. lake which you are natural and that's the be. it's well florida place. it was also, there was also,

there were also work shops and also the building. it's the left. and after that, after that, the people who worked in the office, they were going to receive the people and the i heard that also the 2nd officers are also and they're also now under no building. now everybody's not only the, all the, all of the people, i like my people, this, the behavior really now everybody's trying to help everybody. everyone has given anybody. and we tried to do our best guess right now. and also the week, those like ambulances and the firefighters. the other thing we haven't and it was a good thing. you know, there are 2 good things with that. one of the well prepared, i think. and 2nd thing is it was a really huge to the earthquakes. and then even after that,

i think now the buildings are better than we expected before that if somebody tells me they're what they're going to be to earth and one of them was $7.00. want to get the other one's going to be $776747.00. i would say the bus is going to be no doubt, but there was no problem now, you know, 8 or 9 as i heard this. building the left, but the company now and we try live happened that there was even one single there was no one single building which left. oh, that's certainly a good thing. i'm sure that many lives were saved by the strength of those buildings. now a number of countries have offered aid to turkey, and there's also been affected by will also support would you think is needed? most is shelter for people. is it water food? what would you say? let me tell you that now it's really hard to find the food. now i think i

already should be food and shelter. also look that up on break in art. everybody's trying to find that shelter, but our priority is fine with because know i went out part 1st the i was my family life. and then i was trying to find a place to find some biscuits or baby foods for my son. but it was really hard to find something. now i think about the food we need help. well, the lot i'm going to let you go that because the weather looks extremely cold and wet. you go and get warm. thanks again for your time today. we wish you and your family all the best. you're welcome. thank you. thank you. oh, now turning to some other international developments. russia's foreign minister has hell talks in baghdad, with his iraqi counterpart discussing prospects of regional development and bilateral corporation. now the meeting comes amid attends time in the region, which has been affected by the massive earthquakes. inter kia is video released by
