9 Videos From the Rubble in Turkey and Syria That Give Hope Nearly 600 Sea Lions May Have Died of Bird Flu in Peru

It is now more than three days since the first violent earthquake wreaked havoc in Turkey and Syria. The salvage work still continues and the number of casualties continues to rise with them. On Thursday afternoon it was reported that at least 19,000 people died in the accident.

But while countless bodies can only be pulled dead from the rubble during rescue efforts, there are always moments of joy for the numerous helpers on the scene. Even after more than three days, it is still possible to free survivors. After several hours without food, water or assurance of survival, they are withdrawn into the wild. This sense of achievement is celebrated accordingly – a round-up of 9 videos that are particularly impressive.

Emergency services rescue a two-month-old baby from the rubble. The relief is great: one of the helpers gives him a kiss on the head when he sees that the child is still alive.

When a five-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble, rescuers immediately asked if she wanted a drink. She denies that she has not yet been examined. The helpers are therefore the first to fulfill this wish.

Two women are rescued from the remains of their former home. When it becomes clear that they are still alive, the joy is great. The rescuers are applauded.

Rarely is a child’s crying so welcome as in this situation. This immediately makes the helpers realize that they can save another survivor.

And even more beautiful: the appearance of a child and the first responders after it has been rescued.

This is how these Syrian troops celebrate the successful rescue of a survivor.

But not only people are pulled out of the rubble: here the helpers pull a dog from the remains of a house. He is immediately supplied with water.

This mother dog knows her puppies are somewhere in the rubble. She tries by all means to break through a wall. Finally, a human helps her in her quest. With success: a puppy can actually be rescued alive.

A cat can also be recovered from the remains of her home.
