In many places in Turkey, the search activities have already been stopped and clean-up activities are being carried out, such as in Adana today, where for several days from February 7, Bulgarian rescuers also participated in the rescue operations.

The earthquake in Turkey and Syria 338

At the same time, life in Adana returned to normal.

In one of the most affected cities, Nurdag, which has literally collapsed to the ground, however, the scene continues to be apocalyptic, like from a horror movie, and rescue operations have been suspended in many places, although several people were reported the previous day, among them children rescued in Nurdag after 130 hours under the rubble.

In Gaziantep, rescue operations continued in places yesterday, with rescuers at times ordering machines to stop working and all people in the area to remain silent, raising hopes that there may be people alive under the debris.

Yesterday there was some positive news from Hatay and Adyaman, where after the 150th hour, four people, including three children, were rescued.

And today came the news of another miracle from Gaziantep for a saved 40-year-old woman at the 170th hour.

The Turkish state and many countries are taking action to provide support for rescue and clean-up activities, to provide humanitarian aid, as well as to protect security and evacuate the injured.

Police, military, firefighters, AFAD (Directorate for Disaster and Emergency Management), many charities, doctors have been sent to the affected areas.

Hundreds of thousands of volunteers from all over the country have gone to the regions.

The biggest problem for people is the fact that many of the survivors, among them many children, are still forced to sleep in tent camps, in their cars or literally under the sky in negative temperatures reaching minus 10 degrees. 

According to the latest data, there are about 148,000 people evacuated from the disaster areas.

The death toll in Turkey is 29,605.

The magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes, with their epicenter in Kahramanmaras County, affected more than 13 million people in 10 counties, including Adana, Adyaman, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye and Şanlıurfa.
