Residents in Türkiye's earthquake-ravaged Pazarcik region are battling extreme cold and scarce resources six days after twin quakes killed thousands across southern Türkiye and northern Syria. With nighttime temperatures plunging to -10°C, survivors huddle in vehicles and burn debris for warmth as aid struggles to reach the disaster zone.
CGTN footage reveals collapsed infrastructure and dwindling supplies in Kahramanmaras province, where makeshift shelters strain to accommodate displaced families. Local authorities confirm emergency response teams face logistical challenges due to blocked transportation routes.
\"The scale is overwhelming – we're seeing entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble,\" said CGTN stringer Neyran Elden during a recent assessment. Despite international aid pledges, critical shortages of tents, heaters, and food persist in hardest-hit areas.
