ANTAKYA, Türkiye: Rescuers in Türkiye pulled several children alive from collapsed buildings on Monday , a week after the country's worst earthquake in modern history, but hopes of many more survivors were fading and criticism of the authorities grew.
In a sign of hope, a 13-year-old was pulled out alive after spending 182 hours under the rubble of a collapsed building in Türkiye's southern Hatay province on Monday, his head braced, and covered for warmth, before he was moved into an ambulance. On the same street, emergency workers covered a body in a black bag."This is your brother," one grieving woman said, with another wailing."No, no."
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who faces an election scheduled for June that is expected to be the toughest of his two decades in power, acknowledged problems in the initial response but said the situation was now under control.
