they were levies laid down and that they have been taken out to, to the, to the trucks that take him to the hospital. now you can see that another truck over there, just to more buddies have just a couple of minutes ago. i think taken to that as well. and the families here are really going through the tragedies as the bodies more and more are coming in that rock that are at least 4, but is still now waiting. and just for actually has been pulled being pulled out from there. there's a rub off. so this is a collapse building, so the blocks after blocks apartments off. the apartments are just collapsed. under this rubble that are dozens, tens of people still laying down and the rest care for here it's frantic, heavy machinery to leave the vehicle of people rescue team. they are working tirelessly, relentlessly. however, it's the race against the time. because now it has been more than 102 hours since

the quick heads this city, but so far through the last 24 hours that you, despite those of bodies have been taken out from under the rubble, none of them was alive and families. they've tragedy is the biggest one as the, as the sad events are still unfolding here, they are going to and, and the prolonged pain. and with the hope that somehow they will have their loved one bags. they have that bodies for better way. ally, so i met some of them that he did has been waiting here for more than 80 hours hoping to find her loved ones. i love her son, daughter in law and grandchild,

are still under this rubble reports on there so that people know my pain. my dear ones are burning under this rubble. this syria family has 6 relatives in the same collapsed building. they fill out the civil war and came to caught among rushed to begin a new safer life. here is turkish and sealing families on now she had the same pain . people are trying to call a lung, they are relying on aid and sleeping in cars as the off the shocks continue o n n a lock list that i got shall save us. we are no refugees, she says, death and life are intertwined. here, as survivors are per why that food, the dead bodies keep arrive in. this was one of the largest stadiums in common rush . it has now been turned into tense city. for those who survived that houses

$3000.00 people around 15 in each tent. oh donna and her family moved in this tent a day ago. she says she and her 3 children had to survive sobs with temperatures for 2 days when her home was heavily damaged. some of her relatives also died in the disaster. grande's alaska. young. we are safe as much as attend can defend us. kids a cold at night, i have the 3 year old son. he is scared as soon as the tent shakes and runs towards me asking, is it happening again? let him the residents here are sir. 210 were closed out, but at night the weather is extremely cool and they say they struggle to stay warm, especially the children i as the sun sets above his phone. oh, her son has been pulled out from under the trouble, but he's not the life. well that her hum,

but his off stories in the city that are going on there old, similar to reside as story. so the families are here still anxiously waiting and the rescue team over there. they are periodically quoting for silence and hoping to hear a was from under the rubble. and when they called for the silence, you can see hope on their faces on families faces. but then suddenly to work to restart and the pain of the world's now reflect itself on the same family's faces. so this is an ongoing story. i was just this family here. they have. they have nieces on this rubble and other lady that they have just told to stalled me that her father and mother ought under the rubble and other men who is coming from the town north of this done, which is in the province of carmen. much he said that his brother is under the rabo in boston, but his sister is under the collapse building here in this street. and he came to

get her sister, his sister's buddy, at least to give her a proper burial. and now you can see that the rescue team are calling for silas again, there might be a voice, so the families are now maybe for a short while. but hopefully this is an ongoing ever psycho of hope and despair that is going home here. and it is quite tragic, this is a race against the time. and as it is now more than 100 hours after the 1st week, no, the hopes are fading. right, so thank you so much for bringing us the latest from the epicenter caught him on my dash there. that's go now to stephanie deca. she is joining us live on the town of doggie and gods young tech province. stephanie, tell us what you're seeing, where you are for we were actually on our way to another town. it has been completely flattens out and got beyond that. but that along the way,

the extent of the structure that we saw everything flattened along the way. so we just stopped earlier along the route, i think just picking up a wouldn't read all the same down. what is though extraordinary, about the standard devastation and heartbreak is that entire families have been killed in one go. we were talking to one woman who is waiting for a recovery operation happening by and also they have found the body and are keeping their digging more now to to try and retrieve it. but to tell you is that an entire families have been lost, is one woman said to me, she's lost 4 brothers, her mother, all the children of her brothers, and to cousin. so in the collapse that he's building, people have lost the entirety of the extent of their families, and this is what adding to the devastation everyone has been effective. i it is. i think it's very difficult to convey to you on camera,

the extent of the devastation of this region. the extent of the heartbreak that people are going through. i mean, we're trying not to put the camera in people's faces because they get very upset. of course, the relatives waiting here for news of the bodies, people who are telling us they have lost hope. some of the medical workers here been using thermal imagery to try and find any survivors. there is no 3rd and nothing was found here. 30 bodies remain, so it's now meticulous job to retrieve the bodies. and this is why you have relatives waiting here. we get, they cry there, hugging each other, constantly breaking down simply watching. so now, just behind the bulldozer we keep seeing them putting up but towels blankets to cover the body that they're expecting to retrieve. but of course it's taking time. so again, this is just one of a myriad of tens of thousands of homes are found is been affected by this earthquake and the tremors continue. the aftershocks continue constantly. we feel

them throughout the day, particularly over night. we had 2 heavy ones overnight that we felt so, so they're still this terrifying trula that people have that it's not over yet when it comes to the earth shaking. so it's very difficult to convey what exactly is happening here, how people feel, and the devastation are we actually there is the living also, there's also the living tragedy of those who are displaced. we went to talk to them, some of them as well. this is the living tragedy. more than 300000 people in government shelters and many more sleep elsewhere. thus, with people view, we lost our homes with us. our neighbors is very, very difficult for the people. people are helping each other. this man collected milk from farmers and has come here to hand it out for free a bit. we will be bringing semi and phase 3 to we are doing this by ourselves,

by our own will to this is the long term problem, tons and tons and tons of thousands of people homeless across this region. these people are standing in line to get out a your job a little better yet, and that's go this route. the good deal can we get interrupted. he says, we don't have any issues here. everything is super, everything is great. we were intimidated and harassed by a number of men in order to leave, determined to make sure there was no negative coverage. the government, it seems like turkey's disaster management agency is coordinating both local and international teams from this center and got the on tap. it is a major task the turkish president arrived in the city on thursday as part of his visit to the disaster zone. so vicki? yup. hello, jack allan jose, this big day really dead. while the damage assessment is underway. in this

transition moment, we will provide $530.00 and financial aid to our citizens out of india. and with this financial aid, we want at least to alleviate their problems a little bit. oh, does anyone hear my voice? he shouts. they still haven't given up hope they may find more survivors against all the odds. 3 people were pulled to lie beneath the shattered building on thursday. some much needed good news in a region of tragedy. while law, not so much good news here. it looks like they're again putting up for the blankets, perhaps having now accessed one of the 30 bodies that remains us under this building. and this is unfortunate themes of tragedy happening across this region. we spoke to one medical team, they drove over a 1000 kilometers to get here to help and all along the way they were telling us police kept stopping them asking for help because the scenes are stretched across

such a vase area of geography. and there are still places that help hasn't reached yet. so again, i think very difficult to convey the sense of damage and destruction and heartbreak here. stephanie, thank you very much for that. that is stephanie deca with the latest from the doggie. thank you, stephanie. let's go now to sim costio. she's joining us from the turkish governments relief coordination center in the capital ankara and said m as stephanie was saying, there are still parts of the affected areas that have not received any help or aid . we know that a lot of roads are damaged, a ports have been shut down, but how was the government reacting to the criticism of its preparedness for an earthquake such as this and also to the response to it? well, there's a very huge crisis center in this building where i am standing. it's upstairs and

all ministries are represented in working groups. they are trying to coordinate the aid the needs, the responses for the earthquake hit region or when we spoke to the officials here yesterday. and they explained us that a yes ed. there were some places that they couldn't have reached out to at the very 1st moment on the very 1st day, but they are doing their best. apparently. yes, there was an earthquake expected and the region, especially a ca, her mom mirage. the epicenter of this earthquake was warned about this by the geology and seismology experts earlier when an earthquake hit it again and it's their province. eliza, in 2028, but no one was expecting an earthquake of such an impact as like we are talking about an area of more than 100000 square kilometer is the air. the officials were telling us yesterday and according to the urban ization and environmental minister

ad, there are 13 and a half 1000000 people. the inhabitants of this area who have been directly affected by this earthquake. so apparently, the human resource this by turkey says that it has a solid infrastructure and solid human resource in rescue and search operations because of its experience with the air earthquakes. and its recent history, the resources, the human resources, the preparedness was not enough. but of course, wanting to blame here is there been, is ation. maybe the municipalities because we're talking about urban areas of have been hit, the city centers that have been hit. if these are the earthquake songs wyatt, who are with seeing a tall buildings out there present, our don yesterday's sad that he's promising to finish the new housing projects in this area within a one year. and those buildings will be on the 3 or 4 stories maximum. but however

thing is going to be managed is unknown, the government says they're doing their best to deal with it. but of course, there are critics still ongoing, as there are so many people are there, there are trapped under the rebels and am thank you for that solemn cassini with the latest from the turkish capital ankara will. meanwhile, the 1st international aid has arrived across the border and rebel hal areas of silvia 6 trucks carrying supplies from the united nations entered one of the main border crossings from tokyo to northern syria. bahama vall has more the 1st you and plucks loaded with 8 supplies left for syria through the babylon hoa crossing on thursday. they're destined for residence at liberty health areas. the supplies can't come soon enough. why? honestly, it is the 1st response after this earthquake of the convoy consists of 6 trucks loaded with sanitary materials in blankets and other items that will be delivered to one of the organizations that operates in the liberated areas of an organization

. that is a partner of the when in order to be delivered to our people need in those areas. what city and white helmets say the shipments are not enough because they contain only a regular aide and not tailored to the disaster. elsa desperate need for that equipment here. it lip where rescue workers use their bare hands. along with the few tools they have to dig through. mountains of concrete and twisted metal for survivors. thousands of people have lost their loved ones, as well as their homes. in italy went elsewhere across north east from syria, an air of despair and helplessness is taken over this if you hear me. hello la, we still have hundreds of families trapped under the rubble, including 16 of my own cousins, along with their wives and children. we can see what we know of the bodies of our relatives right under these roofs where there is nothing we can do to collect them and at least bury them. civil defense teams are doing their best,

but we need modern machinery to remove the debris. medical workers are also calling for help. oh no, we're dealing with quite a lot of dead bodies and injured people. we send the bodies to sailor moon and the wounded to sal keen for treatment. we provide emergency care for the wounded, but we have a huge deficit in medicines and other essential medical equipment. in the city of al epo, hundreds of residential buildings not survived more than a decade of air bombardment of light come to the f quick. those that still stand are being inspected. some people have been evacuated from their homes for safety harbor. second number ha, green. this is where we live in that building over there. around 415, a powerful earthquake hit apart. we managed to get out with the children's up with them. when we got out, we saw this building collapsed before our eyes, vertically. we were evacuated for safety reasons, because we share a wall with the building that collapsed at the border with turkey,
