Relief and rescue work continues in Turkey
Turkey-Syria earthquake: So far more than 24 thousand people have died due to the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, while more than one lakh people are injured who are undergoing treatment in hospitals. Turkey’s Antakya, Sanliurfa and Syria’s Aleppo city have been completely ruined due to the earthquake. Many countries of the world, including India, are running rescue operations in Turkey so that the lives buried under the debris can be saved in some way.
NDRF rescues eight-year-old girl from the debris
NDRF personnel engaged in relief and rescue in Turkey safely pulled out an eight-year-old girl from the debris of a collapsed building. An NDRF spokesman said the operation was carried out in Nurdagi town of Gaziantep province along with Turkish army personnel. NDRF personnel had safely rescued a six-year-old girl from the same area on Thursday. “Rescue workers have so far rescued two people from the debris and recovered 13 bodies,” the spokesman said. NDRF rescue operations are continuing in the affected areas of Turkey since February 7.
Six people who were buried for 101 hours were rescued
Rescue workers in Turkey’s Iskenderun pulled out six people alive Friday morning after being buried under rubble for 101 hours. At the same time, a teenager was also rescued who survived by drinking his own urine and a four-year-old child was also rescued. Murat Begul, a search and rescue worker, said that huddled together in the small space left inside the collapsed building helped the six men to survive. All the six people are relatives. The death toll from this earthquake has exceeded the number of deaths due to the earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima, Japan, and the process of getting bodies out of the debris is going on, due to which the number of casualties is expected to increase further.
married couple pulled out of the rubble
A married couple is pulled from the rubble 109 hours after the earthquake in the city of Iskenderun. More incidents of being pulled alive from the debris have also come to the fore. A German rescue team said it had managed to pull a woman alive from the rubble of a house in Kirikhan after nearly 50 hours. Two teenage sisters were rescued in Kahramanmaras, the most affected by the earthquake.
Severe winter in earthquake affected areas
Experts say a person can survive in the rubble for a week or more, but the bitter cold is making the chances bleak. Significantly, there is severe winter in the area and temporary morgues have been set up to keep and identify the dead bodies. In many areas, people are still struggling for tents and food.
