Last night, rescue brigades found more corpses under the ruins in Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city.

According to the Center for Health Emergencies, more than a thousand people were injured and more than 200 of them are still being treated in hospitals.

Rescue teams managed to pull 106 survivors out from under the rubble. Rescue operations continue.

Rescuers cheered when Idil Sirin, 14, who had been under the ruins for about 58 hours, was pulled out of the rubble in Izmir. His eight-year-old sister Ipek did not survive, NTV reported.

Seven hours later, rescuers pulled three-year-old Elif Perincek, whose mother and two sisters had been rescued two days earlier, from another collapsed building. The girl remained under the ruins for 65 hours, the Anatolia news agency reported.

October 30 at 1 pm 51 min. In local (and Lithuanian) time, the Aegean region was rocked by a 7-point earthquake whose epicenter was off the north coast of the Greek island of Samo.

On Sam’s Island, a wall that fell due to an earthquake killed two teenage students; at least 19 other people were injured.

Hundreds of repeated blows were subsequently recorded in that region.
