An aid convoy on Tuesday, Feb. 14 passed through a newly re-opened border crossing into rebel-held north Syria, where help has been slow to arrive since last week's earthquake, which killed nearly 40,000 people in the region.
Before the earthquake struck, almost all the crucial humanitarian aid for the more than four million people living in rebel-controlled areas of northwest Syria was being delivered through just one crossing. The United States, which refuses ties with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, called on both the government and rebels to work to allow in aid.
"From now on, the survivors are likely to be in a more critical condition. The majority of them will need life-saving treatment," said Aydin."Her heart stopped two times but we managed to bring her back," said doctor Nihat Mujdat Hokenek."We have reached the point where we could simply be happy to find the corpses," said a civil servant in Antakya who requested anonymity for fear of losing her job.
