13 days after devastating earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria, more than 46,000 people have died and more than 84,000 buildings have been damaged. Meanwhile, rescue teams are still searching for survivors under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Rescuers in Turkey have pulled three people, including a child, alive from the rubble, 13 days after a massive earthquake claimed tens of thousands of lives.
Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said the country is caring for 1,589 orphaned children who were separated from their families after the deadly earthquakes, including 247 who have yet to be identified.
Oktay said 953 children had been reunited with their families. The vice president also said search and rescue teams were working in less than 200 countries, including Hatay province which accounted for the largest number.
