As local and international rescue teams in southern Turkey continue to work against the clock with the slogan “don’t lose hope,” families of earthquake survivors rejoice as their loved ones are pulled from fallen structures.
Among those who received assistance from two of these international search and rescue groups from Pakistan were the residents of Adiyaman, one of the 10 provinces that were jolted by the powerful earthquakes on Monday.
The terrible earthquakes that rocked Turkey early this week claimed the lives of over 18,300 people and left thousands of structures in ruins.
Even four days later, persistent attempts at rescue have maintained hope.
