Episodes Notes

More than 22-thousand people have died in Monday's earthquake in Syria and Turkey, but survivors are still being pulled from the rubble.
Some were trapped for more than 100 hours under crushed concrete in the bitter cold.
Even though experts say trapped people can live for a week or more, the chances of finding survivors are dimming. Rescuers are doing everything in their power to help.
Today on Connections, Annie Loewen, humanitarian assistance coordinator with Mennonite Central Committee Canada, shares how they are assisting and how Canadians can help those in need.
