A now-viral video shows members of the Syria Civil Defense pull a humber of children from under the rubble, raising them in celebration as the surrounding crowds came together in a moment of joy.
The combined death toll in Turkey and Syria has surpassed 11,200 as nations from across the world continue to send resources and reinforcements following the wide destruction of infrastructure in the affected countries.
Beyond the effects of the earthquakes themselves, Turkey in particular finds itself in a moment of political turmoil as thousands believe that more could be done from the government to prepare for such earthquakes. Reuters reported that Turkish president President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that the problems with roads and airports would improve day by day.
