Turkey-Syria quakes: Death toll exceeds 46,000...


Concerns about the victims of the tragedy in syria were growing as turkey attempted to manage its worst modern disaster, and the World Food Programme (WFP) was putting pressure on authorities in the northwest to stop blocking access to the region so it could aid hundreds of thousands of earthquake victims.

With the earthquake that slammed turkey and syria, more than 46,000 people have died, and the death toll is anticipated to rise. Some 2,64,000 apartments in turkey were damaged, and many others are still missing as rescuers look for signs of life under the wreckage.

Workers from kyrgyzstan attempted to rescue a Syrian family of five from a building's wreckage in Antakya, a city in southern turkey, twelve days after the earthquake struck.

Three people—one of them a child—were found alive and unharmed. 

The infant ultimately died of dehydration, according to the rescue team, but the mother and father both lived. A twin and one older sister did not survive.

"Earlier today, when we were digging, we heard screams. We are always pleased to discover living people "Reuters was informed by Atay Osmanov, a member of the rescue crew. A adjacent roadway that had been closed to traffic to facilitate the rescue operation had ten ambulances waiting there.

As the teams ascended further to the top of the debris of the structure where the family was discovered to listen for any additional sounds using an electronic detector, workers called for full silence and for everyone to crouch or sit.
