The bone Emergency services in Turkey managed to get a woman out alive 70 years next to 212 hours later to be buried under the rubble of a destroyed building in the city of Gaziantepall this after the earthquakes recorded last week in the south of the country, near the border with Syria.

After an intense effort by Turkish search teams in the city of Adiyaman, Fatma Gungor70, was rescued from the ruins of a seven-storey building after being trapped for 212 hours, before being transferred to a hospital where she is receiving medical treatment, Turkish state news agency reported, Anatolia.

After the rescue, relatives of Oscillations, waiting around the wreckage, hugged and thanked the search and rescue teams to support the woman, who had almost nine days buried.

A week after the earthquakes, emergency services continue to search for living people to rescue, a task that becomes more difficult with each passing hour, as the standard time a human being can go without intake of water or food in disasters like this is 72 hours.

The earthquake caused 35,500 dead in Turkey and more than 3,700 among the figures proposed by the health authorities of the government of Bashar al-Assad and those of the rebels in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo (north-west), according to various reports published in recent hours.

During this time, the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinkcalled on the UN to demand that the Syrian government respect its commitment to open two border crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid.

In a conversation with the UN Secretary General, Anthony Guterresthe American diplomat said that, if necessary, authorization must be approved by the Security Council to demand the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid from Syria.

Bliken stressed in his conversation with the UN chief “the need for the Assad regime to fulfill its commitment to open the Bab al Salam and Al Rai border crossings”.

The Security Council, Blinken pointed out, could issue an authorization “that gives the UN and humanitarian actors greater flexibility” to deliver aid to Syria.

On Tuesday, a UN convoy entered the opposition areas of northwestern Syria through the border crossing of Bab al salama passage on the Turkish divide that the organization can use again from Monday after several years without access.

António Guterres also assured Tuesday at a press conference that the two new border crossings are “open” and that the convoy of 11 trucks which entered that day was the “first of a long series”.

The regime of the Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Asadauthorized the use of crosses of Bab al Salam and Al Raiboth on the Turkish border, to deliver UN aid for three months to opposition areas in the northwest of the country, surrounded by territories in the hands of rival actors and difficult to access.

The opposition zones of the provinces of Idlib and Aleppohardest hit by the February 6 earthquakes, did not receive their first humanitarian aid of the UN until four days after the disaster and the first specific expedition for those affected was delayed even longer, which led to a deluge of criticism against the organization.
