Gloomy are the images arriving from the earthquake-stricken regions of Turkey, where rescuers for the fourth day are making titanic efforts to pull as many citizens alive from the debris as possible.
According to what Manolis Kostidis broadcasts from Adana, the Turkish media express their emotion for the help and support from the Greeks.
References are made to yesterday’s message of support from the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in Turkish, to Hatzopoulos’ sketch and of course to the work of EMAK, which operates in a team and disciplined manner.

“The Greeks are saving lives” Turkish media reports describing the work of the two EMAK teams that have arrived in Turkey.
Despite the superhuman efforts, the number of dead in Turkey at this moment approaches 13,000.
According to estimates, the final number is expected to exceed that of 1999 with 18,000 dead.
Specifically, in Alexandretta, an entire complex of 17 apartment buildings collapsed. 3,000 people lived inside. Ten have been recovered alive, 200 dead and another 2,800 or so people are being sought at this point alone.
Rescue operations usually last for seven days, but may continue for another 2-3.
The battle is very difficult in cold conditions, however it is always there hope for miraclesas in the case of Harie, who was retrieved by EMAK alive after efforts of 6-7 hours.
The 35-year-old girl in despair was shouting to her rescuers, who were digging with their hands, “cut off my leg and put me in, I can’t take it”…
However, the next day finds Turkey to be a different country, faced with an unspeakable tragedy, which leaves behind tens of thousands of dead and injured, while the homeless are estimated to exceed one million.
The burden will be enormous on the fragile Turkish economy and consequently on the Turkish people, who are already being tested by high inflation.
