Three people rescued 100 hours after earthquake in Turkey

Three more survivors were pulled from beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings across Turkey early Friday.

In Adiyaman, a 36-year-old was rescued after being trapped under the rubble for 100 hours.

In Diyarbakir, a woman and her son were rescued four days after a catastrophic earthquake killed more than 20,000 in Turkey and Syria.

Turkey's disaster management agency said 18,342 people had been confirmed killed in the disaster so far in Turkey, with nearly 75,000 injured.

No figures have been released on how many have been left homeless, but the agency said more than 75,000 survivors have been evacuated to other provinces.

More than 3,300 have been confirmed killed on the other side of the border in war-torn Syria, bringing the total number of dead to more than 21,600.

Engineers suggested that the scale of the devastation is partly explained by lax enforcement of building codes, which some have warned for years would make them vulnerable to earthquakes.

The problem has been largely ignored, experts said, because addressing it would be expensive, unpopular and restrain a key engine of the country’s economic growth.
