The death toll continues to rise from the pair of massive earthquakes that struck along the border of Turkey and Syria nearly a week ago. Over 28,000 people are dead. Rescue teams are still desperately searching for survivors.

On Sunday, a 10-year-old girl was rescued through a narrow hole in a collapsed building in southern Turkey, 147 hours after the disaster.

People are hoping their loved ones will be found next. A woman rushes to sites every time she hears about a rescue. She says her husband was buried under debris. But she has been disappointed so far.

Another woman's father was in a collapsed apartment building. She has found in the rubble a badge with a Turkish flag on it, a string of prayer beads and a calculator her father cherished.

She said, "I was told there is a chance my father is alive, so I am praying. I do not want him to leave us behind."

Meanwhile, security concerns are rising in affected areas. Looting has been reported.

Teams from Germany and Austria reportedly suspended rescue operations in Hatay province, citing security problems.

The temblors also devastated neighboring Syria. More than 3,500 deaths have been reported there.

The head of the World Health Organization visited the quake-hit city of Aleppo on Saturday. He met survivors in hospitals and shelters.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, "It is heartbreaking the damage and the impact on the people." He also said we have just come today with some supplies and look forward to continuing support.

Syria has been ravaged by 12 years of civil war. Its roads are seriously damaged, making it hard to deliver relief supplies.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that 5.3 million people have been displaced in the country.
