Six days after the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria, the toll continues to worsen. According to the latest official figures, still provisional, the magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed at least 33,179 people – 29,605 in Turkey and 3,574 in Syria.

In Adiyaman, another 23-year-old was rescued 153 hours after the quake, one hour after her sister, a 28-year-old teacher, was rescued. Their father died in the disaster. A 35-year-old man was saved at the 149th hour in Hatay by Turkish gendarmes and teams from Italy and Romania, after twelve hours of effort.
