"A Crane, For Gods Sake": Inside Turkeys Struggling Earthquake Response

Antakya/Istanbul, Turkey: Kevser said she could hear her two sons trapped beneath the rubble of their collapsed apartment building in the Turkish city of Antakya but for two days she was unable to find an emergency response leader to order their rescue. "Everyone's saying they're not in charge. We can't find who's in charge," she said on Tuesday last week, standing on a downtown street where at least a dozen other buildings had collapsed. "I've been begging and begging for just one crane to lift the concrete." "Time's running out. A crane, for God's sake." When Reuters returned to the street a day later, neighbors said no more survivors had been pulled from the wreckage of the building. Many in Turkey say more people could have survived the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the south of the country and neighboring Syria a week ago if the emergency response had been faster and better organized.
