AMMAN — Time is running out to save hundreds of families still trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings after this week’s devastating earthquake, the head of the Syrian opposition-run civil defense service said on Tuesday. Raed al-Saleh told Reuters urgent help was needed from international groups for the rescue effort by the organization known as the White Helmets in rebel-held northwest Syria, where hundreds were killed and injured.“Every second means saving lives and we call on all humanitarian organizations to give material aid and respond to this catastrophe urgently,” he said.

The magnitude 7.8 quake hit Turkey and neighboring Syria early on Monday, toppling entire apartment blocks, wrecking hospitals, and leaving thousands of people injured or homeless.

Galvez believes ROTC can cure mental problems"&39;Yun ang pagkakaiba po sa NSTP. Ang experience training talaga pong naisasapuso niya po ang lahat ng ginagawa niya. &39;Yung [survival] instinct nandoon. So yung sinasabi nating mental problem, it can be cured, kasi yung frustration tolerance ng tao, tataas," Defense chief Carlito Galvez said Monday. "Meron po siyang makukuhang experience na &39;Bakit ako naghihimutok eh ganito &39;yung nakikita natin na mas malala pa pala yung ginagawa ng ibang tao.&39; Meaning, &39;yung mental ano pwede siyang ma-cure."  The Defense chief made the remark at a Senate hearing as he expressed support for the bills which seek to make the ROTC program mandatory. Please note that this gentleman was the Covid-19 vaccine czar and where billions worth of doses wasted. So not sure if he has the (medical) expertise to say that ROTC can “cure mental health.” Where is the study?
