ISTANBUL — People buried under rubble in collapsed buildings in southern Turkey continue to defy the odds, surviving freezing temperatures and a week without water. But the numbers are small, and tired rescue crews know time is running out.
A 40-year-old woman was pulled from the rubble of a five-story building in Islahiye, in Gaziantep province early Monday. Turkish media report that another rescue crew, alerted by a search dog, was in contact with what are believed to be three more survivors – a mother, daughter and baby.
