KAHRAMANMARAS, Türkiye: Seven survivors were rescued from the rubble in Türkiye on Tuesday , more than a week after a devastating earthquake, as the focus of the aid effort shifted to helping people now struggling without shelter or enough food in the bitter cold.
"People are suffering a lot. We applied to receive tent, aid or something but until now we didn't receive anything," said Hassan Saimoua, a refugee staying with his family in a playground in Türkiye's southeastern city of Gaziantep. A man waits for the body of a relative to be pulled out of the rubble in Antakya, southeastern Turkey, on Feb 14, 2023. At a Turkish field hospital in the southern city of Iskenderun, Indian Army Major Beena Tiwari said patients initially reported physical injuries but that was changing.
Meanwhile, a first convoy of UN aid entered rebel-held northwest Syria from Türkiye via the newly-opened Bab al-Salam crossing.
