Rescuers pulled more survivors from rubble on Sunday (February 12), six days after one of the worst earthquakes to hit Turkey and Syria, as Turkish authorities sought to maintain order across the disaster zone and started legal action over some building collapses.

A 64-year-old woman named Muzeyyen Ofkeli was rescued from a collapsed building in Hatay city after 150 hours under the rubble and rushed to the hospital for urgent medical attention. In the footage, her family heard shouting: 'Mom, we are here', relieved after days of desperate waiting.

With chances of finding more survivors growing more remote, the toll in both countries from Monday's earthquake and major aftershocks rose above 28,000 and looked set to keep growing. It was the deadliest quake in Turkey since 1939.
