A miracle girl aged two was pulled from the rubble of Turkey’s deadly earthquake after 150 hours buried under debris.
Rescuers celebrated as the child was given oxygen and carried to safety as the toll of the tragedy was predicted to cost more than 50,000 lives.
A girl, 12, Cudie, was also saved in the southern Hatay province almost a week after the quake.
On Saturday, a nine-year-old boy was rescued from a demolished block of flats in Kahramanmaras.
Ridvan spent nearly five days in the arms of his mum who died. A solider was seen caring for a child at a tent city in Hatay as searches continued in Gaziantep and Adiyaman.
It comes amid mounting anger over corruption in the construction sector and Turkey’s response to the disaster.
Officials have so far issued 113 arrest warrants over buildings that collapsed.
Police revealed they have already put at least 12 people into custody.
But critics claim the moves are a bid to divert blame for the disaster.
In southern Turkey tensions turned into violence, disrupting rescue efforts.
The number of confirmed dead in Turkey and Syria has risen to more than 30,000. But Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell suggested the death toll could reach 50,000 following the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes last Monday.
He said: “It’s bleak beyond belief, it is the worst crisis, the worst earthquake we have faced certainly since Nepal [2015], probably since Haiti [2010].”
Mr Mitchell said there is “good organisation” in Turkey but the relief effort in war-torn Syria is tougher.
An appeal by the Disasters Emergency Committee has raised more than £60million in three days and UK experts are joining searches. Firefighter Steve Davies, 51, is one of 77 search and rescue specialists from 14 fire and rescue services across the UK providing life-saving support.
Steve, of Gower, South Wales, said: “I’ve got two daughters and you can’t help putting yourself in the position survivors are in, desperately hoping to find family. It is heartbreaking.”
Phil Irving, 46, from Haverfordwest, South West Wales, also took part in a dramatic rescue in Hatay on Saturday.
The dad-of-two saved a man and woman trapped under a building for five days. He said: “It will stay with me their incredible capacity to keep going, hope and believe.”
Meanwhile, two German aid groups and Austrian army teams paused efforts after gunshots were fired between local factions.
In Kirikhan, Steven Bayer, from International Search and Rescue, said: “That’s partly due to the fact food and water supply is running out. The hope people had is increasingly fading.”
