The 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Southern region of Turkey and the Northern region of Syria, several survivors have been confirmed with various kinds of injury.
Several trucks of the United Nations (UN) have successfully made their way into Syria through Turkey. It is the first known international help people there have had.
Earlier, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, survivors could yet lose their lives in the absence of electricity, water, fuel and shelter.
Many people are still trapped under the ruins of collapsed structures as rescue workers in Turkey and Syria have not relented in their energy-draining efforts to rescue as much as possible.
The World Health Governing Body also warned, there is a danger of a second disaster which could harm people even more than the initial earthquake.
Both Turkey and Syria have not stopped requesting for help from the international community as hopes of rescuing many still trapped under rubbles keep fading.
