People buried under rubble in collapsed buildings in southern Turkey continue to defy the odds, surviving freezing temperatures and a week without water. But the numbers are small, and tired rescue crews know time is running out.
Women sit in front of the rubble of an area destroyed during the earthquake in Antakya, southeastern Turkey, Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023.
A 40-year-old woman was pulled from the rubble of a five-story building in Islahiye, in Gaziantep province early Monday. Turkish media report that another rescue crew, alerted by a search dog, was in contact with what are believed to be three more survivors – a mother, daughter and baby. In Syria, the U.N. says more than five million people may be without homes after the quake. U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths said the world has failed the people of northwest Syria, who"rightly feel abandoned."
