From his home in Melbourne's northern suburbs, Salih Yucel is clinging to hope that his sister could still be pulled alive from the rubble of a disastrous earthquake that struck Türkiye and Syria.
His sister, his cousin's family and his brother's wife's family remain trapped under debris in Adiyaman, about 150 kilometres from the epicentre of the magnitude-7.8 earthquake.
But he has a fervent hope that his sister, trapped under the ruin of a three-storey building, could survive.
