an infant rescued after 139 hours under the rubble

The cries of an infant allow rescuers to find him. Crouched under a concrete slab, Hamza survived. He is seven months old and spent 139 hours under the ruins of his building. Little Cudi, 10, emerged from the rubble in Antakya (Turkey) on Sunday February 12, exhausted but alive. The young girl will have spent 147 hours under the rubble. More than six days to fight against death. A few more bright spots in a drama that has been playing out here for nearly a week, in the city of Adiyaman (Turkey).

Avoid anarchy

Turkey and Syria never stop counting their dead and discovering these almost completely destroyed cities. In all, 26 million people could be affected in the two countries according to the World Health Organization. International aid is deployed and chaos also sets in, with scenes of looting. A state of emergency has been declared in Turkey in the ten provinces affected by the earthquake. The army was deployed in the streets and in the markets, to try to prevent the country from descending into anarchy.
