The rescuers first managed to reach the five-year-old, before they got the elder man, who is autistic, out, reports the Turkish TV station NTV. Both are injured and sent to hospital.

The boy had to have one of his legs amputated. The death toll is rising The death toll has passed 19,000 and it is thus clear that the earthquake is the worst in the region since the earthquake that hit Turkey in 1999. At that time 17,000 people died. At the same time, the cold and hunger are now taking the hundreds of thousands of people who have become homeless. In war-torn Syria, the situation is hopeless, but the first cars came across the border from Turkey with emergency aid on Thursday. The UN says just under 11 million people have been affected in Hama, Latakia, Idlib, Aleppo and Tartus.
