Two women have been pulled from the rubble alive after surviving for 122 hours under a collapsed building in Turkey The death toll has now exceeded 24,150 across southern Turkey and northwest Syria
Footage online also shows that a pregnant woman and her young daughter were rescued from a flattened building in Turkish city of Gaziantep after being trapped for 115 hours.
In the Samandag district of Turkey, rescuers crouched under concrete slabs and whispered “Inshallah” – “God willing” – as they carefully reached into the rubble and plucked out a 10-day-old newborn. “Our main goal is to ensure that they return to a normal life by delivering permanent housing to them within one year, and that they heal their pain as soon as possible,” Oktay said.With many left short of food in bleak winter conditions, questions are mounting for leaders of both countries over their response.
Opponents have seized on the issue to attack Mr Erdogan, who is standing for re-election in a vote set for 14 May, though it may be postponed because of the disaster. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made his first reported trip to affected areas since the quake, visiting a hospital in Aleppo with his wife Asma, state media said.
