Derya Yanik, Turkey’s minister of family and social services, on Tuesday, said at least 1,362 children in Turkey were separated from their parents.
Yanik said 369 have been reunited with their families, 792 are in hospitals, and 201 children are in “institutions affiliated with our ministry”.
Those rescued on Tuesday included two brothers, aged 17 and 21, pulled from an apartment block in Kahramanmaras province, and a Syrian man and young woman in a leopard-print headscarf in Antakya rescued after over 200 hours in the rubble.
There could be further people still alive to find, said one rescuer.
