A father and his 5-year-old daughter were rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building 140 hours after a powerful earthquake hit Turkey’s southeastern province of Hatay.
Video released on Sunday shows rescuers talking to the man and her daughter, Emira, while they were still trapped under a pile of debris.
The survivors were taken out and carried on stretchers to a nearby ambulance, where they received medical help.
Rescuers pulled more survivors from rubble on Sunday, six days after one of the worst earthquakes to hit Turkey and Syria, as Turkish authorities sought to maintain order across the disaster zone and started legal action over some building collapses.
With chances of finding more survivors growing more remote, the toll in both countries from Monday’s (February 6) earthquake and major aftershocks rose above 28,000 and looked set to keep growing.
It was the deadliest quake in Turkey since 1939. It has killed 24,617 inside Turkey, and more than 3,500 in Syria, where tolls have not been updated since Friday
