Rescue crews braved freezing temperatures to pull bodies from the rubble throughout southern Turkey and northern Syria as the window for finding survivors from this week's massive earthquake began to close.
Rescue crews braved freezing temperatures to pull bodies from the rubble of thousands of buildings that have toppled throughout southern Turkey and northern Syria. The 72-hour mark since Monday's magnitude 7.8 earthquake has now passed, a critical time window that experts say is when most survivors from disasters are found.
Erdogan and aid workers said the scale of the quake was so large that it was difficult to reach everyone everywhere. Erdogan said nobody would be"left in the streets."Turkey reported that more than 380,000 people are displaced.
