A MOTHER and two children have been rescued in the Turkish city of Antakya more than 228 hours after the twin earthquakes that devastated southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria.
Ela and her two children – Meysam and Ali – were pulled from the rubble of their apartment block, the state-owned Anadolu news agency reported.
Earlier on Wednesday, a 74-year-old woman and a 46-year-old woman were rescued in the Turkish city of Kahramanmaras, close to the epicentre of the quake.
Meanwhile, the combined death toll in Turkey and Syria from powerful earthquake has now risen above 41,000, but a handful of people are still being rescued from the rubble, according to VOA.
