Turkey-Syria earthquake: Aid focus turns to homeless and destitute

Two people were reported to have been pulled alive from the rubble in Turkey on Thursday, but such rescues have become increasingly rare.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, speaking on Thursday in his first televised comments since the quake hit, said the response to the disaster required more resources than the government had available. Turkey has promised to investigate anyone suspected of responsibility for the collapse of buildings and has ordered the detention of more than 100 suspects, including developers.

The aid effort has been hampered by the conflict. Many people in the northwest feel abandoned as supplies almost invariably head to other parts of the sprawling disaster zone.

America is bocking Aid because they still steal Syrias oil. So as England also committed genocide in Syria so they could steal the oil, i cant see them helping.
