Ankara:There is no indication that the number of deaths has gone up. Several more bodies have been recovered from earthquake-ravaged Turkey in the newly-launched rescue operation. According to the country’s army, the bodies of the children were found mainly from the rubble of the affected cities. According to the government, at least 24,000 people have been killed in Turkey and Syria as of Saturday morning after the first earthquake in the early hours of Monday. It is feared that this number may increase further.
The Indian Army’s rescue team has also joined hands with the Turkish army. An eight-year-old girl was rescued alive on Friday night with the efforts of the Indian team. Rescue operations have been repeatedly delayed due to snowfall and severe cold. There are also complaints of relief in many places. It is necessary to send relief to at least 8 lakh 70 thousand people in the two countries. In Syria alone, about 500,000 people have lost their roofs.
