Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan admitted on Friday for the first time that the government had not completed rescue work in the earthquake zone quickly enough: “So many buildings were damaged that unfortunately we could not speed up our intervention as quickly as we wanted,” he said during a visit to the disaster-stricken south of Türkiye, according to Reuters.

Jonas Noedeker, the charity's international director, said in a press release: "This is a country that has suffered 12 years of civil war and is now experiencing the worst earthquake in the region in almost 100 years. Cities in northwest Syria had already been devastated by the civil war, and 90 percent of the population in the earthquake-affected areas were already dependent on emergency aid. Accessing the worst-hit areas and coordinating emergency assistance is extremely difficult.".

Doctor: Survivors after the seventh day are rare

Four days have passed since the earthquake struck Turkey, killing at least 21,000 people on Friday night, so there will be some time to find survivors, but the chances are steadily diminishing. “It’s usually rare to find survivors after five to seven days, and most search and rescue teams would consider stopping at that point,” Dr. Jaron Lee, an experienced disaster medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, told The Associated Press. “But there are many stories of people surviving after seven days. Unfortunately, these are just rare and exceptional cases.”.

The earthquake struck Türkiye and Syria on Monday at 04:17 local time and measured 7.8 on the Richter scale.
