final rescue operation
Thousands of people packed into tents made homeless by a devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria a week ago were seen queuing in the streets for hot meals on Monday. At the same time, the search operation has entered its final phase to rescue the survivors still buried in the debris. Rescue workers pulled a four-year-old girl alive from the rubble in Adiyaman, which was badly hit by the earthquake. Thousands of local and foreign teams, including Turkish coal miners and experts, are searching for survivors trapped in the rubble with sniffer dogs and thermal cameras.

People’s chances of survival decreased
Experts have said that with the night temperature going down to minus six degrees Celsius and many buildings completely collapsed, the chances of survival of people in the rubble have now decreased. More than 35,000 people have died in a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey and northern Syria on February 6, and the entire city of Pura has been turned into deserted and concrete debris.
anger among the people against the government
Earthquake victim Zehra Kurukafa said that not enough tents have arrived for the homeless, due to which people have been forced to take shelter in the available tents. Turkish officials said on Monday that more than 150,000 earthquake victims have been evacuated from the affected provinces. Growing public anger in Turkey over a lack of government aid for earthquake victims could add to the political problems of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who will be running for re-election in May.
Woman came out after 170 hours of effort
Meanwhile, rescue workers in Turkey pulled a 40-year-old woman from the rubble of a building on Monday. On February 6, earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 occurred in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria. On Monday, rescue workers pulled a 40-year-old woman out of the rubble of a five-story building in the town of Iaslahiye in Turkey’s Gaziantep province. A woman named Sibel Kaya could be pulled out after 170 hours of effort. The rescue team of Turkish coal mine was also involved in the rescue work.

Newborn pulled out alive from the rubble
Earlier, a 60-year-old woman named Erengul Ondar was also pulled from the rubble in Besni town of Adiyaman province. Manisa city mayor Cengiz Ergun said in a tweet, “We received news of a miracle from Besni, which has kept our hope alive.” Syrian officials said the baby girl a woman gave birth to while trapped in the rubble is doing well. A girl named Aya was pulled out of the rubble a few hours after the earthquake. The wife of the director of the hospital is breastfeeding him.
International community failed to provide assistance
Eduardo Reynoso Angulo, a professor at the Institute of Engineering at Mexico’s National Autonomous University, said the chances of finding people alive are slim. David Alexander, professor of emergency planning and management at University College London, also agreed, saying that the chances of finding people alive in the debris are almost over. In Syria, Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Assistance, said the international community had failed to provide aid. Martin, who is visiting the Turkey-Syria border, said Syrians are waiting for international aid, which has not yet arrived.
