On camera: 10-year-old's teary-eyed reunion with grandfather after being rescued | Turkey earthquake

A 10-year-old girl was rescued from the rubble of the Turkish earthquake in Adiyaman in the early hours of Wednesday after being buried for 47 hours.

Betul Edis was stretchered into a waiting ambulance to applause after her grandfather kissed her and spoke to her.

It was one of the rescue efforts that played out after Monday’s magnitude 7.8 earthquake and its forceful aftershocks.

A frantic race is underway to find more survivors and help the injured as the death toll passed 7,700 from the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria the previous day.

The toll is likely to climb further as freezing weather and multiple aftershocks are hampering the rescue efforts, despite international assistance.
