GAZIANTEP , Feb 11 — The MAS-01 SMART team found six bodies of earthquake victims in a seven-storey hotel and residential building that completely collapsed in Nurdagi here yesterday.

On Wednesday, the Malaysian government deployed another SAR team consisting of 20 members of the Special Malaysia Search and Rescue Team , 30 members of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department , and 20 Civil Defence Force officers. Upon arrival on Friday at 3am local time , the team found that the earthquake ripped Nurdagi town as residential buildings up to seven-storey collapsed completely.

However, the chance for victims to be found alive was very slim due to being trapped for a long time and extreme cold weather with readings as low as three degrees Celsius during the day and can drop to -6 degrees Celsius at night until before sunrise on about 7.30 am.
