At least 640 dead after 7.8-magnitude quake
Hundreds of rescue workers and civilians formed lines across a mountain of wreckage, passing down broken concrete pieces, household belongings and other debris as they searched for trapped survivors while excavators dug through the rubble below.
Survivors were strapped to stretchers and carefully handed down to a street where they were put in an ambulance.
In the Turkish city of Adana, one resident said three buildings near his home collapsed. “I don’t have the strength any more,” one survivor could be heard calling out from beneath the rubble as rescue workers tried to reach him
Turkish seismologists estimated the strength of the quake to be 7.4 magnitude. They said that a second tremor hit the region just minutes later.
Turkey lies in one of the world's most active earthquake zones.
In 1999, more than 17,000 people were killed after a powerful tremor rocked the north-west of the country.
