Turkey’s emergency services rescued a man early Monday morning nearly 183 hours after he was buried under the rubble of a destroyed building in the city of Antioch, all in the wake of last week’s earthquakes in the south of the country near the Syrian border.
After an intense effort by Turkish search teams in the city of Antioch, Barber, has been rescued from the ruins of a building located in the district of Cebrail after 183 hours trapped, to then be transferred to a hospital for medical care, as reported by the Turkish state news agency, Anatolia.
A week after the earthquakes, emergency services continue to search for living people to rescue, a task that becomes more difficult as each hour passes, since the standard time a human being can remain without food or water intake in disasters such as this is 72 hours.
The death toll from last week’s earthquakes on the Turkish-Syrian border has risen to more than 36,200, according to the latest official figures, which put the number of dead on Turkish territory at more than 31,600 and the number of dead in Syria at 4,300.
