STORYLINE: Severe damage was visible throughout the Turkish city of Antakya on Wednesday in the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake. A hillside view overlooking the city in Hatay province showed the extent of the destruction. Earthquake survivors in the Turkish city of Antakya said on Wednesday they need more support to protect their children in the aftermath of the disaster. Ceylan Akarca, a mother of five, said her family had been left with no food or water. Aid was being distributed in the city in Hatay province which was hit hard by Monday's 7.8-magnitude quake that struck parts of neighboring Syria as well. Search teams from more than two dozen countries have joined tens of thousands of local emergency personnel on the ground in Syria and Turkey, and aid pledges have poured in from around the world. But the scale of destruction from the earthquake and its powerful aftershocks was so immense and spread over such a wide area, including places isolated by Syria’s ongoing civil war, that many people were still waiting for help. Experts said the survival window for those trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings or unable to access water, food, protection from the elements or medical attention was closing rapidly almost three days after the quake. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
