On February 6, a double earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, the first measuring 7.7 degrees, and the second measuring 7.6 degrees, followed by thousands of violent aftershocks, which caused huge losses of lives and property in both countries.
Although 11 days have passed since the earthquake, and hopes of finding survivors have diminished, rescue teams are still able to extract survivors from under the rubble of buildings destroyed by the earthquake.
