A three-year-old boy called Rami has been pulled from the rubble in Turkey along with his mother Aya after 82 hours trapped under a collapsed building in the southern city of Hatay. The rescue came hours after Mert Tatar, also three, was found alive in Kahramanmaras more than three days after the earthquake.
A teenager has also been pulled largely unscathed from beneath the rubble of a collapsed building in the Turkish city of Gaziantep – but the chances of finding many more survivors four days after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands are shrinking fast.
The 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the border region between Turkey and Syria, an area with a population of 13.5 million, killing more than 20,000 people. Bodies lay wrapped in blankets, rugs and tarpaulins in the streets of some cities, with morgues and cemeteries overwhelmed.
