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

most of the population around us is too afraid to go inside. my team, we re sleeping outside as well. that s the reality. we have to be prepared for anything that happens. we re talking, with the turkish red crescent about sanitation modules and chemical toilets to get ahead of the potential for any sort of communicable disease. we really need to be adaptable and flexible as this operation shifts, and as perhaps the population flees out of the earthquake area because they re so scared. but at the end of the day, operational flexibility and partnership with government is a critical way to do that effectively. how concerned are you about people who were in need, whether it be there in the border, in turk ry, or perhaps even in syria, roads are inaccessible. how do you get to people? how do you assist? it is a great question. in turkey, we established an operation that goes to the border with syria, and in syria, we re using the syrian red
