collide ok, tom, tom bateman, thank you, in the city of iskenderun in southern turkey.e to hit turkey in almost a century. the epicentre was here in the south close to the city of gaziantep near the border with syria, one of the world's most seismically active regions. that's because turkey sits on the fault line, where three tectonic plates come together. the arabian plate is constantly pushing into the eurasian plate, which squeezes this one, the anatolian plate, to the west. it's moving at about 2cm every year. where the plates grind past each other, more fault lines are created, leading to the earthquake we saw yesterday. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is here. james, we can see from those maps how close the earthquake is to syria, but we're not seeing as much coverage of the destruction there — why? that is because syria is still at war, after more than a decade, so this region that has been hit in the north—west, part of the territory is controlled by the government, part held by the rebels, part of it are almost ungoverned space with competing militia

in iskenderun, southern turkey, dilek was still trapped under the rubble.an could hear she was alive. after more than eight hours, rescuers still hadn't arrived. so hasan decided to pull her out himself. then, another large quake. fatma! when news of the earthquake broke, volunteer rescuers in the uk got ready to go to turkey. from the alert i could see that it was very serious. there's a huge amount of uncertainty, and those hours, those early hours is really about trying to understand the scale. it was very clear that this was a major thing. josh macabuag is a civil engineer and helps to rescue people in disasters. the people there that have been affected will obviously be in a state of distress, and there'll be loved ones that are trapped and that are missing, and there'll be those that are outside the buildings who are desperate for help. as night fell, the search for survivors was under way. thousands were buried in rubble. the next day, the true scale of the disaster began to become clear. in towns and villages across the quake zone, people were havin

reports of fires and earthquakes have also been published in some areas, including the port of iskenderun, turkey . turkey is asking the international community. it has gradually decreased in syria and a meeting of the council of ministers was held under the chairmanship of president bashar assad. a number of countries including iran, iraq, kuwait, jordan, russia , germany, america and greece announced their readiness to help turkey and syria. the president of our country told the presidents and the people of turkey and syria expressed their condolences and to announce iran's readiness to send urgent relief aid. to know the latest news and more details , i will talk with mr. kameli, a journalist of turkish radio and television. do you have any earthquake-affected areas in turkey? dear sirs and dear viewers , i am now at the entrance of adana, the center of one of the southern provinces of turkey . the temperature is extremely cold and the rains continue . meteorological warning of cold wave and snowfall in most parts of turkey . especially the earthquake affected areas unfortunately, i ha

our field is from the city of antalya, hatay, which has been severely damaged, near the port of iskenderun , and on the other hand, it is close to the border of syria, and there are no healthy and usable buildings left in this city. in some places, there are streets of people, and buildings everywhere are full of sights and rescue operations in this city. also , its two heroic cities continue, and there are still people who are miraculously pulled out from under the rubble. yesterday, in the cases that you mentioned, what should i do? according to the turkish natural disaster management organization, any rescue operation will be stopped from tomorrow, and in fact, the debris removal operation will start in these areas, which includes the south-south, which means that there is almost no hope for finding alive people. there is no beginning, and due to the unsanitary conditions of the cities and settlements, the statistics that were announced an hour ago should be removed . unfortunately, the number of casualties in this incident exceeded 40,000 people, and the number of victims was 40,642 in

ruins, such as this city of pattaya, antakya, a city bordering syria's aleppo and near the port of iskenderunxposed to the earthquake. two weeks the cities in the south of turkey have been turned upside down. the most damaged city has become a ruin due to the earthquake and there is nothing left of it. most of the people have left the city and are outside the city under tents, but some of them have searched around their destroyed houses. they didn't stop and the article came dead. unfortunately, he died under the rubble of this building. may god help us . there is no place to live here. most of the buildings have been leveled to the ground or are collapsing completely . although nothing is left of this building, but every at the moment, it is possible that several people will collapse completely we took out the inside of this building alive, but now there is no one left, so that if the building completely collapses, no one will be hurt. now, 14 million displaced people in the southern cities of turkey have to spend days, months and years in their homes, hoping for life and peace again. hamid

we will try our best to emerge from this better reporter: at the ruins of iskenderun hospital, meysas it ready to start over yet. she will be waiting for news about her grandma for as long as it takes, and she knows things may get worse before they get better. reporter: julia has been traveling across southern turkey. she covers her impressions a week after the earthquakes. reporter: to be honest, it is at times very difficult for me to describe what we witness here on the ground because the scale of the destruction and the grief is just so huge, very difficult to comprehend. like meysa and her family, many survivors have been waiting days and nights next to collapsed buildings, desperately waiting for their loved ones to be retrieved. we have seen how their hopes have slowly faded and any people just want the chance to say their final good rise. we do still see miracle rescue stories on turkish television, but the chances of finding more survivors are now very, very slim. any buildings were so poorly constructed that they collapsed into very tiny pieces, leaving very few spaces for

it's an apartment block built in iskenderun in 2019. the opening of a new housing complex in antakya. look at it now. some of it collapsed. the owners of the complex deny any wrongdoing and say almost every building in the city has been affected. and across the affected area in turkey, the sheer power of the earthquake is one factor. but it is not the only one. you've got deformation beyond what the building can withstand. it will move to an extent that it can no longer stand up and as it goes down, it will completely fall apart. and that is indicative of pretty bad building standards. but turkey has modern construction standards, designed to help buildings cope with earthquakes. these standards were introduced after an earthquake in izmit in 1999 which killed 17,000 people. rules have since been tightened even further. but those rules only work if they are enforced. and in many cases, that hasn't happened. so—called construction amnesties allow owners of illegal buildings to receive an exemption in exchange for paying a fee. the last a
