• Miray was rescued from the ruins of an apartment building in Adiyaman.
• After seven and a half days and 178 hours imprisoned.
• Rescues are becoming less common as the death toll approaches 36,000.

More than a week after the deadly earthquake struck, a small girl was rescued from the ruins of an apartment building in southern Turkey.

Miray had spent seven and a half days and 178 hours imprisoned in the ruin.

As she was raised out of the shadows, employees could be seen saying “God is awesome” and cheering.

On Monday, many more people were rescued, including a 13-year-old child who had been stranded for 182 hours. Rescues, however, are getting less common as the death toll approaches 36,000.

This is mainly because the human body can only go without water for a finite amount of time.

An emergency medical expert told the Media that other considerations include the amount of breathing room the confined individual has and the severity of their injuries.

The extreme cold in Turkey and Syria, according to Prof. Tony Redmond, is a double-edged sword.

He said that if you’re very cold, your blood vessels would constrict and you’ll be able to recover from wounds a little bit longer. However, getting too cold can be dangerous on its own.

The United Nations’ humanitarian director has issued a warning that the death toll in Turkey and neighboring Syria might quadruple.

The little girl named Miray who was saved on Monday in the city of Adiyaman was strapped to a stretcher and taken away by rescuers. Teams on the ground were reportedly looking for her older sister, according to local media.

In the severely affected Hatay province, 13-year-old Kaan was freed after spending 182 hours trapped, and Naide Umay, a lady, was discovered alive after 175 hours.

Rescuers were striving to reach a grandma, mother, and infant who were all trapped but still alive in the city of Kahramanmaras.

To find any remaining survivors, thousands of teams from all across the area, including coal miners and specialists with thermal cameras and sniffing dogs, have been searching the wreckage of collapsed buildings.

However, there are fewer and fewer people still believed to be alive, and it appears that the rescue effort will soon come to an end.

Officials are now concentrating on rehabilitation and looking at housing, food, and medical care.

13-year-old Kaan was liberated after spending 182 hours imprisoned, and a woman named Naide Umay was found alive after 175 hours in the badly impacted Hatay region.

In the city of Kahramanmaras, rescuers were attempting to locate a grandmother, mother, and infant who were all trapped but still alive.

Thousands of teams from all across the region, including coal miners and experts with thermal cameras and sniffer dogs, have been examining the rubble of collapsed buildings in an effort to find any last survivors.

The number of survivors is, however, steadily declining, and it appears that the rescue operation will soon be over.

Now, authorities are focusing on rehabilitation and considering housing, food, and medical care.
