Good evening. We begin tonight with the search for survivors in Turkey and Northern Syria

after one of the strongest earthquakes on record struck the area at the worst time imaginable

early in the morning with most people at home.

Those are just two buildings, two of more than 5,600 that have collapsed in the quake,

make their way to a 14 year old child trapped in the wreckage of a two story building.

They go as quickly as they can, but it is delicate and dangerous work and the team stopped

at one point to try to work out how to proceed. It's unclear what the team's condition is.

We do know, however, this is hardly the only such scene across the area. There are many.

Sinan's Jamanikarachi joins us now from Istanbul. What is the latest Jamanik?

across 10 provinces in southern Turkey and across the border into government controlled

parts of Syria as well as the rebel-held northwest of a country. We're talking about a part

of Syria that where you find some of the country's most vulnerable women and children who

have been displaced several times over the past more than a decade of civil war. These

are people who are entirely reliant on international aid. This is coming at a time where they have

been facing a very, very harsh winter. Couldn't have happened at a worse time for the population
