Turkey-Syria Earthquake: First UN aid convoy reaches border

The frantic hunt for survivors in the devastating earthquake last week which has so far claimed 38,000 lives in Turkey and Syria is slowing to a trickle as the clamour for aid and equipment intensifies.
The first convoy of UN aid has made its way now through one of the newly reopened border crossings from Turkey into the northwest of Syria which is mainly in rebel hands.
Our chief correspondent Alex Thomson joins me now from a refugee camp in Gaziantep, in southern Turkey.

I'm a Turk living in Australia and a few days ago I went to buy some middle eastern sweets. It turns out the girl at the counter was Syrian and we discussed the impact of the earthquake that hit our countries and how helpless we felt being so far away. I admitted that I felt hypocritical and heartbroken that at least Turkey was getting a lot of help from all over the world while Syria was neglected and barely had anyone helping after suffering years of war. Sadly she said that even the Syrians within the country itself were struggling to send help to each other let alone anyone else from around the world. Despite our chat I noticed that she had undercharged me for the sweets so I went back to buy more. Syrians are on a whole different level of humble. She was Christian and I was raised in a Muslim family.

You have all these millionaires and billionaires in the world hoarding wealth while these poor people are struggling to find their loved ones alive. The ultra rich in the country affected should have to forfeit a percentage of their wealth to help the local populations. After all, it's the local populations that make them rich. It's called giving back to your community. Shouldn't have to force people to help but here we are. We have politicians and celebrities in America who own multiple million dollar mansions, many expensive cars, and still have millions to their name. It's disgusting
