A week after the devastating quake, rescuers in southern Turkey, which was hit by a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake on February 6, claimed that they were still hearing voices from under the debris, offering a ray of hope for finding more survivors.
Over 41,000 people have already died as a result of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, and rescuers are still searching for additional survivors.
Three sisters were trying to be rescued from the rubble in Turkey’s Kahramanmaras province, while a 35-year-old lady who had reportedly been trapped there for 205 hours was rescued, it was stated.
According to TRT Haber, two brothers, Abdulbaki Yennir, 21, and Muhammad Enis Yeninar, 17, were also rescued from the fallen building in Kahramanmaras on Tuesday.
The patients had initially arrived with physical injuries, but that is now changing, according to Indian Army Major Beena Tiwari who is stationed at a Turkish field hospital in the southern city of Iskendrun. “Now more of the patients are coming with post-traumatic stress disorder, following all the shock that they’ve gone through during the earthquake,” she told Reuters.
Families in Turkey and Syria said that they and their children were dealing with the psychological aftermath of the quake.
“Whenever he forgets, he hears a loud sound and then remembers again,” Hassan Moaz said of his 9-year-old in Aleppo, Syria. “When he’s sleeping at night and hears a sound, he wakes up and tells me: ‘Dad, aftershock!'”
