Several nations have pledged to aid the survivors in the wake of the 7.8-magnitude quake that struck while people were still sleeping, as well as freezing temperatures hindering emergency efforts.
More than 6,200 people were killed in a devastating earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria Tuesday. Rescuers fought frigid temperatures to find survivors under flattened buildings. In an already conflict-ridden border area, tremors left people on the streets burning debris to stay warm after inflicting more suffering on people. International aid was arriving at this time. Nevertheless, there have been some astonishing stories of survival, including the story of a baby pulled alive from Syria's rubble. Due to the Monday quake, she is still linked to her mother by her umbilical cord. The baby with the umbilical cord (intact) was found after we cleared the dust," Khalil al-Suwadi, a relative, told AFP. "We cut the cord and took her to the hospital. Aside from the infant, everyone else in her family died in Jindayris, a rebel-held town.
