'You are a miracle': Rescues continue in Turkey almost 150 hours after quake
Rescuers carry 12-year-old Cudie from the rubble of a collapsed building, in Hatay, southern Turkey, 147 hours after the quakeRescuers have pulled a seven-month-old baby from the rubble of a building in Hatay, southern Turkey, 139 hours after Monday's deadly earthquake.State media also reported a 13-year-old saved in Gaziantep on Sunday, with rescuers saying: "You are a miracle."Syria has not reported an updated death toll since Friday, so the true number is likely higher.
The Syrian Civil Defence Force, or White Helmets, which operates in in rebel-held areas of the country, has told the BBC that the group's search efforts are winding down. Separate video from the Turkish health ministry showed a small girl in a neck brace looking around as she was carried on a stretcher in the same province later on Sunday morning.
But as the rescue operations wind down, the focus turns to recovery - and of reckoning with the situation.
