A spokesperson for the White Helmets deliverance group described the megacity of Aleppo as a” disaster area”, stressing that there are families still trapped under the debris.
A occupant of the megacity of Jenderes in Aleppo told the French news agency that he lost 12 members of his family in the earthquake, while another said that his cousins were still trapped under the debris.
He added,” We hear their voices, they’re still alive, but we’ve no way, no saviors , and no outfit to get them out.” In areas under government control, all exigency services have been transferred to the area, including army forces and pupil levies. Hisham Shawish, from the BBC’s Media Follow- up Department who specializes in Middle East affairs, said that this isn’t enough to deal with the scale of the destruction.
The International Relief Committee, a charity whose staff on the ground in Syrian opposition- held areas now figures,000, said it had formerly begun measures to combat the first outbreak of cholera in a decade and was preparing for a blizzard when the earthquake struck.
