Search crews are scrambling to find survivors of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria that have claimed the lives of at least 4,300 people.
The first international rescue missions have arrived. People trapped under the rubble are enduring near-freezing temperatures.
A magnitude 7.8 quake struck southeastern Turkey and northwest Syria in the early hours on Monday, as many people were still sleeping.
There were dozens of aftershocks in the hours that followed, including one that registered a magnitude of 7.5. Thousands of buildings collapsed. Turkish leaders say it is the "biggest disaster" in the nation since an earthquake struck in 1939.
The quakes have brought more destruction and misery to Syria, which has been wracked by years of conflict.
One survivor said, "The quake was very severe, very scary. We were hearing sounds from all over the place. It took almost two minutes for the shaking to stop."
Many residents fled their homes in the cold and rain. Rescuers are racing to free others. Near freezing temperatures have been recorded in some areas.
Countries around the world have been quick to respond to requests for help. On Monday, rescue missions from Lebanon, Romania and other nations arrived at the city of Adana in southern Turkey.
Countries have rushed to send personnel, equipment, and humanitarian aid.
US President Joe Biden said his administration will provide "any and all needed assistance."
Japan has also joined the rescue effort. Six firefighters departed from Tokyo's Haneda Airport late on Monday. Tokyo police are also planning to send officers and rescue dogs to the affected regions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent emergency teams after he called the leaders of Turkey and Syria.

Key words : kishida Northern Territories Day
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230207_27/
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio has stressed that his government will continue to try to settle the territorial issue with Russia and resume bilateral exchanges, even though negotiations have stalled due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Kishida spoke at a national rally in Tokyo on Tuesday. The event is held annually to mark Northern Territories Day and to call for the return of the four islands.
A Japan-Russia treaty signed on February 7 in 1855 recognized that the four islands belong to Japan.
Russia controls the islands. Japan claims them. The Japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory. It says the islands were illegally occupied after World War Two.
Kishida said it is regrettable that the territorial issue has not been resolved and that a peace treaty has not been signed 77 years after the war ended.
He said his government will continue to pursue these goals, even though Russia's aggression in Ukraine has hurt Japan-Russia relations.
Kishida added that his government will continue to try to bring about the resumption of bilateral exchange programs. He said he considers the issue a top priority. One program permits former islanders to visit the graves of their family members.
At the rally, Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa described the territorial issue as the biggest sticking point for the two countries.
He promised to try to fulfill the hopes of former islanders, who are advancing in age.
The rally participants issued a statement appealing for the return of the four islands.
The appeal included the phrase "illegal occupation" for the first time in five years.

Myanmar has opened its first-ever nuclear education facility with Russia's help. It maintains relations with Moscow even as it has been mostly isolated since a military coup two years ago, and these ties are expected to deepen through cooperation in the field of nuclear power.
Myanmar's state-run media said the nuclear technology information center has been completed in the country's largest city of Yangon.
The opening ceremony was held on Monday. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing attended, along with the Director General of Russia's state-run nuclear power company Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev.
The facility was established based on a memorandum of understanding signed at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok last year. Authorities say it will be used for education to deepen understanding of nuclear power.
The state-run media reported Myanmar plans to build a small research reactor for human resources development. It said the country aims to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and healthcare. Russia is expected to provide technical support.

Many rural communities in India are dominated by men. Women rarely have opportunities to work outside their homes. A local NGO with support from a major Japanese precision-equipment maker aims to change this.
