A seven-year-old Syrian girl was rescued after more than five days under the rubble following the world's deadliest earthquake for 13 years.
Last weekend's disaster is also the deadliest earthquake felt in Turkey since 1939 and the strongest felt in Syria since 1822.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accepted that there were some problems with the government's initial response to the disaster. He also warned citizens to ignore "provocateurs" who seek to spread "lies" about the Turkish government and his response.
