Hopes fading to find survivors at Adiyaman apartment building, similar scenes across Turkiye and Syria
An excavator is used to skim, as precisely and delicately as possible, layers upon layers of concrete wreckage where a seven-storey apartment building in the city of Adiyaman in southeastern Turkiye stood, before Monday’s earthquake flattened it.
Rescuers have been working at the site of the ruined apartment building for days, searching for survivors of the earthquake Monday, and the extreme after shocks that followed. Similar scenes are playing out at locations across Turkiye and Syria, as officials estimate a death toll that’s expected to grow beyond the 19,000-plus, so far.The sound of heavy equipment working to find signs of life is constant.
Another man with a large bandage on his headwas nearby too, after he was on the fourth floor of his apartment building when it collapsedin the quake. The man was buried for half an hour. Between the earthquake striking and his discovery under the rubble, he told Walters it felt like time was suspended between life and death.
As well, tens of thousands of people have been displaced. The biting cold has been another challenge for survivors who have lost everything including warm clothes.
