Rescuers pulled a 13-year-old from under the rubble of a collapsed building in Turkey’s southern Hatay province on Monday,  more than a week after a devastating earthquake struck. The teenager held a rescuer’s hand as he was placed on a stretcher, before he was moved into an ambulance.

A young girl named Miray was also rescued from the rubble of an apartment block in Adiyaman on Monday, 178 hours after the earthquake, a minister and media reports said. Broadcaster CNN Turk said the girl was six years old and rescuers were reaching her older sister.
