Rescuers race to find survivors in Turkey and Syria after quake kills thousands | CBC News

The Associated PressPeople walk past the scene of a collapsed building on Tuesday in Iskenderun, Turkey.Turkey declares state of emergency for at least 3 months.An aid worker with Doctors Without Borders was killed in Syria's Idlib province.Countries around the world dispatched teams to assist in the rescue efforts, and Turkey's disaster management agency said more than 24,400 emergency personnel were now on the ground.

Nurgul Atay told The Associated Press she could hear her mother's voice beneath the rubble of a collapsed building in the city of Antakya, the capital of Hatay province, but that her and others' efforts to get into the ruins had been futile without any rescue crews and heavy equipment to help. Across Turkey's Hatay province, just southwest of the earthquake's epicentre, officials say as many as 1,500 buildings were destroyed and many people reported relatives being trapped under the rubble with no aid or rescue teams arriving. In areas where teams worked, occasional cheers broke out through the night as survivors were brought out of the rubble.

it is a shame for both countries but worse for Syria the U.S. and all of its allies were there to bomb and ruin your country and then walked away and even with this they will not even walk they will turn around

It’s Türkyie now not Turkey you misidentifying far right monsters!

Seen reports that death toll could go 4 to 5 times that. Earthquakes like climate change are a natural part of the earth. Humans as far as I know or understand have little to 0 effect on Earthquakes, just because this happened out of the blue why should we care?

End the sanctions on Syria.

The US could not be happier since they already ruined Syria.
