Just 40 days old, Abdulhameed does not calm down and he is too little to remember where his parents are.
Little Abdulhameed is in the care of his grandfather and uncles who originally come from Syria's Hama city. They live under a tent in the quake-hit town of Islahiye, Gaziantep.
"The most important thing that we now want is a tent for our children so we can take shelter in it," Abdulkarim Khajar, Abdulhameed's grandfather, lamented. "We are bit by bit losing our temper.”
"It is freezing outside. We keep switching blankets on our people back and forth during the nighttime and lighting bonfires. The smoke is harming the health of our youngest child who is just 40 days old. He cannot breathe due to smoke," the grandfather added.
Fahdi Jaban is another Syrian refugee who comes from Idlib. Together with his two children and wife, they were injured, and a total of 11 members of their immediate and extended family died in the earthquake.
"We have been displaced to the streets without water and electricity. No attention is even being paid to our children. We have no blankets, we have no carpets. Our situation is extremely dire. We hope we will receive aid," Jaban said.
Even though the two families have registered to receive brand-new tents to keep them from the freezing temperatures, they have not received them yet.
An estimated 3,000 Syrian refugees live in Islahiye. Due to an inadequate amount of aid dispatched to the earthquake-ravaged town, a large number of people in the region have been left without daily life essentials.
Around 19 medical teams from the Kurdistan Region provide first aid to the wounded people.
"Our task includes providing medication, and treating the injured. We treat swollen body parts that have sustained harm," said Dr. Rezan Anwar, a medical official from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq who currently treats the wounded in Islahiye.
The devastating earthquake killed thousands in both Syria and Turkey.
Rescue teams in Gaziantep have ramped up their efforts to remove debris and trails of destruction as hopes for finding survivors dwindle six days after the catastrophic earthquake.
In addition to Gaziantep, nine other provinces of Turkey have seen significant damage where simultaneous rescue operations are ongoing.
Kahramanmaras, the tremor epicenter, and Adiyaman respectively have borne the brunt of the powerful earthquakes in Turkey.
