Nine days after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the chances of finding miracles become almost nil. Hundreds of thousands of survivors lost everything, like in Antakya, in southeastern Turkey.
Applause to greet an improbable rescue, nine days after the earthquake. In Antakya (Turkey), a woman trapped under a mountain of rubble was extricated by a team of Ukrainian rescuers. On Wednesday February 15, another 77-year-old woman was found alive in Adiyaman (Turkey). The rescuers still want to believe in the impossible.
“There is still a chance to find some under the rubble”
“We arrived here on Saturday, in the province of Hatay. Since then, we haven’t stopped seeing people come out alive, every day”explain Julian Hidalgo, member of the canine unit of Seville (Spain), who believes that there are “still a chance to find some under the rubble”. What still nourish some hopes for families who wait, in the middle of the ruins. The images recall how their daily life suddenly came to a halt at the start of the earthquake. More than two million Turks have left the disaster areas and 1.5 million are sheltered in temporary accommodation.
