Turkey Earthquake: 17 year old girl rescued 10 days after the earthquake, found alive after 248 hours

Even today many lives are being rescued safely in the devastating earthquake in Turkey. So far bodies of more than 42,000 people have been recovered in it, whereas, its figure is increasing daily. 10 days after the disaster, the rescue team pulled out a teenage girl alive from the debris.

Girl found alive after 248 hours

Don't know how many families are there, who are still hoping that their relatives will be brought out alive safely. According to information, the girl who was pulled alive from the debris was rescued in Turkey's southeastern Kahramanmaras province. This girl was still alive 248 hours after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake, which is like a miracle for people. 

No information about missing people

Officials said the death toll from the deadliest earthquake in Turkey's history has risen to 36,187, while the death toll in Syria has reached 5,800. However, the death toll is increasing day by day. Turkish and Syrian officials have not given information about how many people are missing in this, but many people are being rescued daily. 

WHO worried for those living in western areas

The Syrian government declared the death toll in the area under its control to be 1,414 and said it was the final figure. Most of the deaths in Syria have occurred in the opposition-held northwest, but rescuers say no survivors have been found there since February 9. At the moment, the people who were rescued are being protected and helped. 

Aid from Turkey stopped

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday that it was especially trying to help people living in the northwest, where about 4 million people were already dependent on humanitarian aid before the earthquake. Aid supplies from Turkey were completely cut off immediately after the earthquake, when a road used by the United Nations was temporarily closed. 

Cholera spreading in many areas

Earlier this week, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad approved the opening of two additional crossings for aid, more than a week after the earthquake. At the same time, WHO has asked them to approve the opening of more access points. A spokesman for the UN office said that 119 UN trucks had passed through the Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salam crossings since the earthquake as of Thursday. 

Cholera is wreaking havoc in many areas, keeping in mind that food, essential medicines, tents and other shelter items as well as cholera test kits are being sent.
