The magnitude 6.8 quake struck yesterday evening

Rescue workers raced against time to find survivors under the rubble after a powerful earthquake claimed 22 lives and left more than 1,200 injured in eastern Turkey.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said earlier 22 people were estimated to be trapped under the rubble. Turkish news channels showed live images of people rescued. Hundreds of people were anxiously waiting on the other side of police barriers including a man who gave his name as Mustafa. Some 20 rescuers were on top of the remains of one collapsed building, slowly clearing the rubble one bucket at a time surrounded by broken wooden beams and concrete.

"They claim that only four people are trapped under the rubble. It is not true. I have five relatives in that building," Suat, a 45-year-old butcher, said.
