A second crisis looms for the hundreds of thousands of people in southern Turkey and Syria who lost their homes in last Monday's earthquake.
In Osmaniye, about an hour from the epicentre, hundreds of people are sleeping in tents, living on handouts from aid workers who have set up makeshift tented villages and food stations.
There are families there with young children and babies sleeping outdoors in freezing temperatures. They light fires, burning whatever they can to keep warm.
They all have stories of Monday's earthquake.
On the side of the road, staring at a mangled apartment block we met Seyma.
Her uncle, who used a wheelchair, lived in the building when it came tumbling down after the earthquake. He was trapped on an upper floor and could not get out.
Seyma and her family rushed to the building to save him, and only managed to get him out by stopping a passing fire truck with a ladder and lifting equipment.

She then went to help others. She talks about the stench of blood and death, and having seen things that were "not right".
She witnessed bodies and body parts being pulled from the rubble. She saw her city brought to its knees.
"I don’t know if it will ever recover," she said.
On the outskirts of Osmaniye volunteers have organised a tented village, and hand out food, supplies, nappies and hot drinks.
Two female volunteers tell us that Turkish people all help each other in times of crisis, that this is the best of their spirit at the worst of times.
In the city of Adana, at the edge of the disaster zone, hundreds of people have left their homes afraid to go back.
Among them is Hakan Kocakara, a worker with the Irish charity Goal.
"Everyone is afraid", he tells us, as he recalls rushing to hug his children when the quake struck.
"I hugged them in close and we went into the bathroom and lay down on the floor as the earth shook," he said.
Afterwards, he took his family to a park and they stayed outside for several hours.
Hakan is now living in a caravan while his wife and family have moved to Turkey’s capital Ankara where they feel safer.
