Argentine rescuers working with two Federal Police dogs
helped find three other people alive
in the rubble left behind by the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
"A motorcycle passed that was asking for help, when we saw the situation we moved to the place and indeed there were people alive under the rubble," said Sergeant Yarte, about the rescue of people alive.
And I add;
"The sensation that we have in our bodies, the truth is that we cannot explain it because it is really a miracle in the midst of so much chaos."
Nine days after the devastating 7.8 degree earthquake, with strong aftershocks, that shook Turkey and Syria, the Argentine humanitarian assistance contingent made up of state civil volunteers, White Helmets, the USAR Brigade of the Federal Police and the support of the National Risk Management System (SINAGIR), dependent on the National Ministry of Security, began with the rescue work.

"The survivors rescued today by the Argentine team
are two adults and one child.
The operation was carried out in conjunction with members of the Türkiye Emergency and Disaster Management Authority (AFAD) team. The Argentine Foreign Ministry will expand this information after completing all the established procedures and the preservation of the corresponding data," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The earthquake already caused more than 35,500 deaths in Turkey and more than 3,700 among the figures offered by the health authorities of the Syrian government of Bashar al Assad and those of the rebels in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo (northwest), according to various balances published during the last hours.
A rescue that shocked the world
More than a week after the tragic earthquake that devastated large parts of southeastern Turkey, emergency services are still managing to rescue people from the rubble.
This time it was the turn of
a 70-year-old woman, who spent 212 hours buried under the remains of a destroyed building
in the city of Gaziantep.

After an intensive effort by Turkish search teams, 70-year-old Fatma Gungor was pulled out alive from the ruins of a seven-story building and taken to a hospital for medical attention.
After the rescue, Gungor's relatives - who were waiting around the remains - hugged and thanked the search and rescue teams for bringing the woman alive, who had been buried for almost nine days.
The truth is that the rescue task becomes more difficult as each hour passes, since the standard time that a human being can be without food or water intake in disasters like this is 72 hours.
