150+ people are still buried in the wreckage, according to the estimations.
Most of the collapsed buildings are pre-2000 , which is the turn point for construction regulations in Turkey. Some of these buildings got "reinforced", yet the reinforcement thought to be not sufficient to match with regulations, or not inspected thoroughly.

Do they know how many missing an unaccountrd for. If the initial caught under the rubbles were 185 to begin with and we’ve gotten 100 out that would leave 85, and we still have an open window of getting them out alive.

They should make a master plan where every pre 2000 building gets rebuilt by scratch without a exception.

PMI ready to send volunteers to help victims of Turkey's quake


Sukabumi, W Java (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) is ready to send its volunteers to help victims of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and a subsequent tsunami that affected part of Turkey on Friday (Oct 30).

"Turkey has assisted Indonesia a lot to handle various disasters, ranging from an earthquake and tsunami in Aceh to an earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction in Central Sulawesi. Of course, when Turkey is grieving, PMI is ready to help," PMI Secretary General Sudirman Said told Antara by phone on Saturday.

Sudirman said PMI and the Turkish Red Crescent which are members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) will assist each other in handling disasters.

Moreover, the Turkish Red Crescent has frequently extended a large amount of assistance particularly during the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction recovery period in Central Sulawesi. The largest humanitarian organization in Turkey also contributed to the recovery of victims.

Sudirman said PMI has prepared a number of trained volunteers to help the victims of the quake and tsunami if requested by the Turkish government. The assistance is the manifestation of longstanding friendship between the two nations.

Earlier, PMI Chief Jusuf Kalla expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives in the quake that rocked part of Turkey on Friday.

A powerful quake rocked Turkey on Friday. It destroyed scores of buildings and triggered a tsunami that swept through the country's coastal towns. The quake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale was centered 11 miles north of the island of Greek island Samos.

Meanwhile, citing data from the Turkish Disaster Management Agency Authority (AFAD), the Anadolu Agency reported that the quake has claimed 25 lives and left at least 804 persons injured as of early Saturday.

At least 743 persons have been injured in Izmir and neighboring provinces, five in Manisa, two in Balikesir, and 54 in Aydin, according to the Turkish news agency.

14 and 3 year got rescued after 65 hours. I hope they survive. A 7 year old boy who was rescued with his mother and sister in the first 23 hours didn't survive.

Rahim ve Rahman olan yüce Allahim yardim eylesin.
