Syria earthquake: hundreds still buried under rubble, according to rescuers

The leader of the Syrian opposition-run civil defence organisation said on Tuesday that there is not much time left to save hundreds of families who are trapped beneath the wreckage of collapsed buildings from the earthquake on Monday.

Raed Al-Saleh told Reuters that the rescue operation being carried out by the White Helmets organisation in rebel-held northwest Syria, where hundreds were killed and injured, urgently required assistance from foreign organisations.

Every second counts when it comes to preserving lives, thus he urged all humanitarian organisations to provide immediate material assistance and deal with the crisis.

Early on Monday, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, destroying hospitals, toppling apartment buildings, and injuring or displacing hundreds of people.

Approximately 3,500 people were injured and at least 1,444 people died in Syria, according to data from the Damascus government and rescuers in the insurgent-controlled northwest.

As the death toll in that nation surpassed 3,400, rescue teams worked early on Tuesday to extricate those trapped in the wreckage of buildings in southern Turkiye.

Rescue operations were hampered in earthquake-affected parts of northwest Syria by a lack of supplies and frigid weather. Rescuers removed mountains of debris with their hands and homemade tools.

Despite their best efforts, Al-personnel Saleh's are unable to deal with the calamity and the numerous destroyed structures.

A non-governmental organisation called Syria's Emergency Response Team reported snowstorms had shut off routes inside temporary camps where tens of thousands of displaced Syrians were living.

Salamah Ibrahim, a senior rescuer working in the city of Sarmada, where an entire neighbourhood was levelled, stated, "We have considerable difficulties in procuring heavy equipment because of the broad spread of sites that were impacted."

Around four million people find refuge in the rebel-held region in the northwest of Syria, many of them were displaced by a Syrian government offensive backed by Russia that helped President Bashar Assad win the war there more than ten years ago
