when we start to really understand the scale and impact in hard to reach areas, especially in northwest syria. this area of syria was extremely difficult to access and it was largely reliant on humanitarian us instance with challenges with infrastructure from health, water, and electricity and it also has very large populations of displaced people who have been displaced multiple times over the 12 year conflict in syria. >> many people have lost their homes in this earthquake. obviously, they cannot stay out in the elements overnight. it is freezing cold in that part of the world. what is happening in terms of providing shelters for these people? >> exactly. we have been warning for a very long time about upcoming harsh winter conditions and the need to scale up military assistance even before this current earthquake and now, we are finding people that have survived are now left out to brace the elements, the cold. they urgently need the means to survive which is shelter, which is food, which is basic heat, even for our colleagues based in northwest syria and also in turkiye. they have been s

across the border in northern syria, it's in the northwest of syria the last rebel held enclave thathit of this earthquake. areas in the north under syrian government control have also been hit, including the major syrian city of aleppo. we were able to obtain permission and we've translated his report for you. translation: we are now. in the shahar neighbourhood, one of the areas damaged by the earthquake. aleppo is the closest city to the epicentre of the earthquake. until now, around 400 people have died in the city of aleppo. hundreds of injured remain in the rubble. in this area, rescue efforts are being supported by government forces in the search for the injured. they are also working on demolishing damaged buildings out of fear they might collapse at a later stage. around 60 buildings have collapsed, but there are around 400 others that are so damaged and at risk of collapse at any moment. the reports say some 55,000 people have lost their homes and they are now spread across different shelters in the city. the death toll has surpassed 4,000 people in both government and rebe

aid has finally arrived in northwest syria three days after the quakes. efforts in syria have been complicated by damage and displacement from 12 years of war and harsh sanctions. in turkey's border province of hatay, devastated residents say help took too long to arrive as they take stock of the disaster. >> we went to the city center. the situation is worse than here. it is worse. it is almost like a ghost city. we have gone back 50 yea in time. our children are devastated. our lives are lost. we lost our children, our parents. at least three people died from each home. amy: in syria, displaced survivors around aleppo say they face freezing conditions amid shortages of heating oil. many are too scared to remain indoors for fear of more tremors. >> to be honest, it is harder than w. in war, a strike, and it passes. your we don't know end when it ends. we are terrified but it is all in god's hands. amy: the overall humanitarian crisis facing syria after over 12 yrs of war is staggering. prior to the earthquake, the u.n. estimated over 14 million people in

i have just returned from northern northwest syria, where i visited the 16 locations between towns, village your cities. so the situation is quite disheartening and it's a really a desperate situation as syria has been forgotten before before the the, the earthquake that the region on monday, february 6th at 4 15 am as since then continues to be forgotten. i have witnessed in these 316 locations, hundreds of buildings that have collapsed completely. i have seen people living in the street. i have seen bodies being extracted from under their uncles a scene that was very, very painful and very difficult to describe. most of these difficulties was in gender where not a single street that you walk through or drive through does not have it. buildings that have been completely destroy, actually the exception in the scene. if you see a building that still standing or up so i can go through a lot of a lot of details on, on what the seen as like, i've seen in the town of cool a town that was hit by the earthquake. it has about 16 buildings that were completely destroyed, but since it is near the las

of other countries also by laterally was very disappointing. virtually no aid was delivered to northwest syria, which is the, the part most vulnerable in the country. basher al assad, blame the sanctions that the u. s. has put on syria for the lack of aid is he right . sanctions do play a role in him during the humanitarian response. that's just a fact. however, the impact of sanctions on the humanitarian response is hugely exaggerated by the asset regime. so what's actually limiting that the delivery of aid is the factory of the regime? the, the diversion it's, it's a factor that matters a lot more than sanctions. now do that, how do sanctions hinder the humanitarian response? so say you are an organization based in any country around the world and you want to send money to, to syria. you would actually struggle to send that money using the formal channels because of western sanctions on syria. now what i mean by saying it hinders the humanitarian response, but it doesn't stop it. there are many alternative ways to getting that money into syria. there are other impacts for sanctions on the hu

which provides aid inside northwest and syria. he describes the devastation, millions are experiencing. are you talking about misery upon misery for people. ready living in northwest 4500000 people, 2 thirds of them have been displaced. 2.1000000 children. they don't attend school . 66 percent are in the northwest syria. 90 percent of the syrian people are below the poverty line. all of this is before the earthquake and now come to the earthquake. this is, this is a very, very tough disaster and tough experience for people to go through. i myself, i'm starting to wonder what did the syrian people do to this international community that they are treating them like this. this is, this is my day after the earthquake and i can tell you, i have been there 7 days and i did not see a single evidence of aid coming through the country. so what are people doing? what are people doing? they are trying to survive into care. the number of people being found to live is getting smaller by the day. but despite the odds are all still some incredibl

but in northwest syria, appeals for help, you know, are only growing louder. indeed have been told to issue the political difficulties of those areas in northern syria, a difficult to get to the best of times. so to tell us what's been happening was any progress on trying to get the 8 in a bit faster. aid has been arriving, but there is no international response if you like the syrian government. what they wanted to do was control the flow of aid into the northwest corner of syria by 1st allowing cross line deliveries. that means aid is able to cross the front lines from government to opposition. territory. the opposition didn't want this because they didn't want to be held hostage by, by a regime that has killed hundreds of thousands of people in the past 12 years. what they have been demanding is for it to be delivered across the border from, from southern turkey here. but the problem is a turkey, which was really there, lifeline is itself devastated by the earthquake. many of the n t o is picking up the pieces themselves. so it is, it is very, very difficult task, but at the same t

many of them lost their loved ones in the earthquake in northwest syria. they are waiting to cross into syria to attend the funeral and meet those who survive. buddies of the city, refugees who lost their lives from the turret. your site are also being sent back home for burials here. foremost it is on the lifeline. they're about to get that lifeline way. cutter 8 and cut the red crescent. this is the 2nd 8 convoy sent by cutter to north syria. in the last 2 days, these rebel held areas were heavily bombed by the regime throughout the 12 year long sea with war. last week's earthquake has made things worse, killing thousands, an injury and many more. right there sally, the head of the syrians, civil defense forces, also known as white helmets, says the globe responds to the disaster has been to a little higher than a thought. so that i am bad. i've had the most difficult 7 days of my life. we've been forgotten for years and the world didn't hear us. if the world had heard our voice. we wouldn't have lost these souls in marta to be seen in italy province wher

crisis for a people whose sole purpose has long been to survive. center for their elders. eda, northwest syria. what annoys poacher, hassan that he to head of the syrian for him. this is an organization that's been providing aid inside north, west and syria. he described the devastation that set millions of syrians are experiencing now, but it comes after years of civil war and violence. are you talking about misery upon misery, for people. ready living in northwest 4500000 people, 2 thirds of them have been displaced. 2.1000000 children. they don't attend school . 66 percent are in the north, west syria. 90 percent of the syrian people are below the poverty line. all of this is before the earthquake and now come to the earthquake. i have seen people standing as sitting on a rock at the, at the front of the collapse building. and when i want to buy them, and i greeted them, and i asked them, who are you? and they give me their name, and then i tell them what do you live? i live here and they point at their house and i'll tell them how's your family? and they'll tell me my family is that the en

the tremor shook neighboring northwest syria, forcing 1000 to flee their home. more than 100 were injured up according to age group. the president of our putin has announced moscow will suspend its participation in the so called new start treaty, that limits stockpiles of nuclear weapons, the arms control agreements as the last last between russia on the us, you made the comments in a wide ranging address to the nation, we allude, they want to deliver a strategic defeat. if i have to say that russia suspends its participation in a new start treated, russia does not abandon the treaty, but suspends its participation. now, before resuming the discussion, we must 1st understand what 2 countries of north atlantic alliance like frogs and great britain aspire for. and how will we take these strategic arsenals into account where let's we're going to summer been job aids for moscow. so what's, what reaction has there been to this announcement that food and will be suspending the, the new start treating was this expected at all? well, it is the last remaining treaty betw

syria. so these areas northwest of syria have had been, had been born heavily borne by the syrian regime for over to that of 12 years of the civil war. the many of how this and the towns here are already are already heavily shelled and damaged or cracked. and the people, syrians, how built makeshift homes and the camps here. it wasn't too much, but still it was warm for that. however, this earthquake has taken that also from them. so disaster of their disaster for syrian and why we were the crew of the campbell crossing. the border here have seen hundreds of the city and families that are trying to pass the border to go inside syria and to find the relative or to to, to join their funerals. the syrians, how me tricky home for them. so over the last decade and now they had been hit by the heard creek and inside syria they have houses of the relatives. they have lost humbles of their beloved ones. now they are trying to pass the border and to join their funerals or to meet up. those who survived are let's get the latest out of anti kn. natasha name is there and natasha more than a week on and

but the real concern is in the sift to northwest syria, it has taken days to get aid into northwest syria. wheel we did see flights going into damascus, it is concerning that the aid is not making to rebel-held territories in the northwest. according to the u.n., 22 aid trucks have crossed the turkey border into northwest syria today, so there is some hope that it continues, but something more needs to be done in the region. >> thank you very much. >>> let's bring in jamie laseur, head of emergency operations for the international red cross, in europe and central aish. he is in turkey. so good to see you. what you are seeing on the ground there? >> well, we're seeing a lot of people that are outside. the reality is, is that many buildings have toppled, the loss of life is immense. and although we're here to mourn and grieve for those who passed, we're here to save the living, so what we're doing with the turkey red crescent, we're running hot meals and in the last six days, 4.5 million who have gone out for the turkish red crescent have helped with the blood supply and the medical facilit

meanwhile, the well world health organization says that it's greatest concerns now are about northwest syria and have our syrian president busha. alas, had to open more border crossings with turkey, nearly 6000 people have been killed and syria, and many survivors feel like they've been left behind by the international response . well, we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster, but we get with that salary days, an who's been on board a helicopter delivering aid supplies to remote areas or but southern turkey. a busy military control room received request for help from air is more numerous than the pen to write them all down with the military decide to send the helicopters, carry a doubt to ashanna sola. it's one of the many earthquake villages high up in the mountains of a remote part of southern tortilla. in no time, the chances are ready, the age is low, dissolved, drinks, food and clothes, amongst other things. so while journey or one hour, 10 minutes, the pilot says everybody is hopeful. when we get back, we'll still find survivors people alive and able to help unload this s

this will say that al jazeera, moderate machine, northwest syria, alpha 0 as amazon hela b is that a camp and syria's rebel controlled african region and families. their fear they could lose what they have left because of aftershocks. fee monta had colored these at home. we are standing at an area that cannot be described as a camp. simply a number of tents have been put up among the damage the residential buildings on the outskirts of our free, but i free for planning, right to show you those 10 c m we pan left to this mosque one which was partly damage as a result of death quite water. it is now a show to housing, dozens of families whose homes were destroyed for either other families. mostly women and children have taken shelter in the mosque or few of the aftershocks at the last of which was just a couple of minutes ago. we go back to the tenants. we spoke about earlier. this is a civil defense truck bringing more tense to house, more displaced families who were not able to go further into north west syria because of a power outage caused by earthquakes. here. mr. butler, mozilla,

like so many towns and villages in northwest syria. jan doris was already dealing with food insecurity. poor sanitation and a cholera outbreak. when the earthquake hit o'mara long hold on the ground in rebel held areas like this one. it's this serious civil defense known as the white helmets who leads search and rescue efforts. team leader yasser nini, is on his way to a destroyed building. locals say they've heard noises under the rubble. he digs to get a better view, but they neither here nor find any one unless i don't help people, no one will know the international community or nearby countries. no one comes to our rescue. he says he feels the world has forgotten his country, even before the disaster people in northwest syria relied almost entirely on aid for survival. since mondays quake international assistance has been slow to reach survivors in areas outside of government control. in a tweet, the un humanitarian aid chief acknowledged the international community, is failing. the people in north west syria. martin griffith wants the un security council to authorize the opening o

problems after being trapped for a week and a category, a convoy of 7 trucks has crossed into northwest syria. answer from turkey are you when it's calling for more border crossings into syria, to be open to light in humanitarian supplies? kelly clements is deputy high commissioner at the you in refugee agency. she says, politics needs to be put aside to help with thousands of people who are displaced in serial. there are people, families, women, children, that are now in parks. there are tense in multiple locations and it's cold, it's really cold. so we have it working very speedily with others partners in terms of collective centers, trying to get more support to community centers. a shelter remains the largest single need right at the moment. for the many people that are displaced, but they're also deep trauma. now that we're seeing with families who've experienced a year after year of crisis in the un refugee agency with, with many partners have been present in this country for many, many years. we have a large operation here in syria and in fact we had preposition stocks that we were abl

even before the disaster, people in northwest syria relied almost entirely on aid for survival. since monday's quake, international assistance has been slow to reach survivors in areas outside of government control. in a tweet, the un humanitarian aid chief acknowledged the international community, is failing. the people in north west syria. martin griffith wants the un security council to authorize the opening of 2 more border crossings from turkey. currently, there's only one international crossing open to you and agencies severely hampering deliveries of life saving food and medical supplies. the u. n says damascus is considering the proposal. i met with us. oh, to consider additional good us once for this message is for survivors engenders the time to act was when the earthquake hit. anything else is too little too late. still on the center, ballasa was low for 40 years. mustang and his family have lived and jan doris. now they're all gone. my children, my brothers and sisters, every one died in the related. he says the earthquake took more than 50 of his family members bott

as northwest syria relies on aid from un, this was disrupted during the week, but those a convoys have continued. now in terms of earthquake relief and response 8, we have yet to receive anything. so what's happening to the relief aid that's actually needed? where is it? what's holding it up? that's a very good question and to be honest, we're asking the same thing that people are asking the same thing. are wondering why after 5 days of a huge catastrophe, i have no emergency response groups coming to syria has no a. i mean, we need tools, we need to fuel our volunteers on the ground are now i don't know if you've seen the videos, but they're using their own hands. they're using hammers. they're using very primitive tools. we have the experience to deal with such a catastrophe, but it's way above our capacity. at this point. there have been calls and accusation accusations against the united nation, saying that the un is on the side of the government, not the people. what do you make of that? well, we're very much so focused on the mandatory aspect as opposed to the political aspect .

you have the risk of cholera in northwest syria.p to this particular disaster. so the effort now is to retrieve bodies, and maybe the lucky few who survived, the ongoing medical needs will be long term. >> and saying in syria, the medical community was already strained prior to the earthquake because of the years of war. how many equipped doctors, nurses, are there to help people? >> well, there are a lot of staff, medical staff who have continued, what we do know, at the facilities that they were working have either been destroyed or damaged, according to the world health organization, some 48 health facilities in northwest syria are unusable at the moment. and will need to be repaired right away. so the focus is to shift everyone who is able to work, including many of our staff. we had and continue to have, roughly 500 staff working in northwest syria, to ship them from the places we had to evacuate, or that are too damaged to be able to work in. to the facilities that are still functioning so that includes the maternity wards tha

the people of northwest syria, martin griffiths, once the un security council to authorize the opening of to international aid crossings from turkey into syria, to speed up the delivery of life saving food and medical supplies. through home of the lumber logo, the road for 40 years must often his family have lived in jan doris. now they're all gone. my children, my brothers and sisters, every one died in the right. he says the earthquake took more than 50 of his family members. bottles the likeness meaningless to me now, what good i wish you had died with my children are doing as a well brother at 60. he is suddenly alone, like the buildings around him. he says his life is in ruins. like so many towns and villages and northwest syria. jan doris was already dealing with food and security. poor sanitation and a cholera outbreak. when the earthquake hit o'mara long hold on the ground in rebel held areas like this one. it's this serious civil defense known as the white helmets, who leads search and rescue efforts. team leader yasser nini is on his way to a destroyed building. locals say th

the people of northwest syria have been left to deal with a disaster on their own. last week's earthquakes that struck southern turkey, devastated many areas in this country as well. their lives now a pile of dust. none available. we are a vegetable chillers, our shops. we're under new far homes. now we lost everything. we're sleeping in the streets. no one from the international community is helping us. jan. that is, was one of the towns and the opposition controlled enclave worse hit by. the 2 quakes, it's, they, 9 of that disaster. rescuers who have been appealing for heavy equipment still haven't received any as they remove the remaining bodies. and the rubble across the border in southern turkey are missing. survivors are still being found alive and pulled from the ruins. here in northwest syria, the search and rescue effort was called off on day 5 because rescuer is didn't have the resources they say could have saved many lives. so far, the aid entering the opposition north is not enough for people's needs. the un says syrian president, charla said, has now gi

syria. the un say it's your hardest shockey pine northwest and syria hampering be relief efforts. so why do you think that he wasn't decided to take responsibility for failing to resolve that situation? well, there's a lot of double speak going on and different un agencies also that see the terrible problem and know that that there's like a double game that's being played and has been played all along. i want to say on, on my own pass visits to syria, you could see the problem and that is that the government is on every level blocked and the u. s. right openly steals the oil and the gas from syria burns, the crops syria was at one time, a grain exporter of bread, basket, an exporter of energy, and had an export or a pharmaceutical goods. they no longer are able to do any of this. and it's because of the u. s. sponsored war on syria and the sanctions, the terrible sanctions that are blocking aid to syria right now. even with an earthquake, even with tens and tens of thousands of people made homeless still this blocking of aid there. 74 countries sending aid into turkey, but not int

you know, the main crossing for aid from for northwest syria is through turkey and you know, roads and infrastructure like bridges have been damaged. and this means that it will prove really difficult to get the flight to the neatest ag. i think that even before this earthquake, monetary and this is really constrained in this area and most of it comes to one specific point. and from what we know this point was closed yesterday, but it was operational today. but what that means and practice for what can actually getting, we don't know what we're reading, monitoring the situation very closely. and we're working directly with our partners within northwest area to see what the consorts on the ground and how we can start to ramble and implement. eh, you know, responds immediately and remembering that most of the people that you know are stuff. but also working in these partners, they're also now trying to recover themselves from living through this experience. point to make the jennifer higgins with the international rescue committee. jennifer, we appreciate your time and all the best to yo

syria. the majority, at least 8000 are here. and the opposition controlled northwest were health facilities are already under strain due to 12 years of war, giving them indicate care appropriate physical care for such patients is something which is complicated because you need everything. and the problem is we don't have anything. and some hospitals re shortage and goals they could not find goes to to, to give, to would, on the ones for the patients. i hope that the nations will come to the area aid and doctors have entered northwest syria. but there's been a lack of an international disaster response. hospitals are overwhelmed and they lack the means to deal with complex cases. this emergency means patients with chronic illnesses like kidney failure, are not receiving the necessary treatment or not, not any 3 dialysis sessions a week. now they're given me to because didn't have enough equipment to deal with all the cases from the earthquake. our situation is very bad here in northwest syria. we could die because of the lack of care. many victims suffer from crush inj

sir russell soda has more from the town up maddox miss had been in northwest syria. these rebel held areas were heavily formed by the regime throughout the 12 year long civil war. last week's earthquake has made things worse, killing thousands and injure in many more on the radar. sadly, the head of the syrians, civil defense forces, also known as white helmets, says the global responds to the disaster has been to a little while i had a thought so that i am bad. i've had the most difficult 7 days of my life. we've been forgotten for years and the world didn't hear us. if the world had heard our voice. we wouldn't have lost these souls in marta to be seen in italy province. where the earthquake kit, the hardest aid is desperately needed. but not right now. we've been displaced several times in the last 9 years. we don't know what is ahead of us that this earthquake displaced us again when we lost our homes and families, but we need shelter. the country aid conway has broth pants. diapers, heaters, gas cylinders, blankets, food and medical keys, toyota, and more detail

then there was ita, northwest syria, was a virus in the worst hit, parts of syria have one plea. bring in the aid a well you offered in the us from the 1st day we had around 3900 families who were affected without any shouter. we had 270 buildings that were completely destroyed around a 1000 buildings and not suitable for use. we have 3900 families who have no shelter home early on. second, danny were desperately need 10th. i can stand the cold. no problem on i can sleep anyway, no problems, but they are women, children and injured who we took out from under the rubble on who need care. i just dropped my kids off at the hospital. they whole bodies all blue and was still alert . we want our voice to reach the whole world, but where's the 8? there are hundreds of people who still need tense and they don't even have somewhere to sit. find the solution. where is this 8 coming from? let's see. 8 is never going to come here. william saw some syrian refugees living in tokyo, save the count, returned to their homeland. they would rather just die in an takyo for nearly 70 percent of build

honda reports, the search for the living has ended in northwest syria. it's now about removing the bodies trapped under the hundreds of buildings that collapse following the earthquakes that pitter kia and syria. on monday, those who responded to the human tragedy. say the world failed. the people in the opposition controlled enclave. the civil defense, also known as white helmets, said people died because repeated requests for rescue support. teams and heavy machinery never came. i mean, i have been deeply affected by the voices we heard from under the rubble. they were crying for help. in one instance, we worked for 4 hours before were able to reach a man, but it was too late. he died. destruction and devastation are not only in the opposition held areas in the north. but in heavily populated government held cities like a level hummer and latter kia as well. the united nations estimates more than 5000000 people are now homeless. when we evacuated people from all the buildings that dangerous shelters have begun receiving people. and it's a new wave of di
