ARK News… Search and rescue teams pulled three people, including a child, from the wreckage of a destroyed building in Antakya district, the center of Hatay province, in southern Turkey, 296 hours after the earthquake.

The Anatolia correspondent stated that the search and rescue teams are racing against time to find survivors among the rubble of thousands of destroyed buildings that collapsed after the two violent earthquakes that struck 11 states, the center of which was Kahramanmaraş.

After a great effort by the search teams, including a Kyrgyz rescue team, in front of the rubble of a building, hoping to hear the voices of neighborhoods still under the rubble, the teams were able to spot 3 people alive.

After continuous efforts and work, a man, a woman, and a child were rescued from under the rubble 296 hours after the earthquake and they were taken by ambulance to the hospital.

At dawn on February 6, an earthquake of 7.7 degrees struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, followed by another hour later with a magnitude of 7.6, followed by thousands of violent aftershocks, which caused huge losses of lives and property in both countries.
