Rescue workers in Turkey and Syria are finding more survivors in the debris as the death toll from the earthquakes last week approaches 36,000.
As of Monday, the earthquakes had claimed the lives of at least 31,643 people in Turkey and 4,614 individuals in Syria.
The head of UN relief operations, Martin Griffith, stated that the world has failed the people of northwest Syria thus far and that survivors there "rightly feel abandoned."
According to the UN, the earthquakes may have left up to 5.3 million people homeless in Syria. In Syria and Turkey, about 900,000 people urgently need hot meals.
According to the UN, permission concerns with the Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham armed organization have prevented supplies from government-held portions of Syria from reaching the rebel-controlled zone.

Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker stated in a report from Karamanmaras that rescuers were reportedly just a few meters away from a woman and child who, according to thermal imaging, could still be alive.
They are currently tunneling from two angles in an effort to reach the location where they are thought to be. Dekker stated from the city, which was closest to the original tremors' core, that the task was "very risky."
Family members were waiting at the scene during the lengthy 24-hour rescue operation, during which time rescuers had to deal with an additional two earthquakes overnight.
"It's an extraordinarily delicate and challenging job," she remarked.
A survivor in the rebel-held northwest of Syria claims that "the entire world let the Syrian people down."
In northwest Syria, where survivors claim the international community has abandoned them, anger over the lack of relief has intensified.
"The Syrian people were let down by the entire globe." The entire world would have gathered to save those who were slain if similar catastrophes had occurred in Europe or another nation, but in Sarmada, nobody seems to care, according to Abdel-Monem Qassem al-Razouq, who was standing in front of the rubble.
"There are memories here, therefore I'm here to observe and recall." I can make out my sister's outfit as well as her son's clothing. Their odor is present. I won't come when they take everything away.
