Iran Press/ Asia: Rescuers pulled a two-month-old baby and an elderly woman from the rubble yesterday, five days after an earthquake devastated Türkiye and Syria leaving more than 28,000 dead.
But security concerns led some aid operations to be suspended, and 48 people have been arrested for looting or trying to defraud victims in the aftermath of the quake in Türkiye, state media reported.
The death toll from a massive earthquake in Turkey and Syria will "double or more" from its current level of 28,000, UN relief chief Martin Griffiths has said.
Six days after the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Türkiye and Syria, teams are rushing to save victims that could still be alive under rubble, with a UN liaison officer in Türkiye warning that they are "approaching the end of the search and rescue window." 219
