"We do whatever is needed. Whether it is that water needs to be carried or that soil needs to be thrown. We enter or exit. We do everything. We try to help as much as we can."

"Lots of sledgehammers, chisels, drills, we really need them. We even need gloves right now. We do not have spare gloves for example. I only work with this glove. Our gloves get torn. We work in the cold. It's winter here."

"There is the issue of hypothermia. When the collapse first occurs, the building is warm because the area is closed. For example, when we reached the bathroom after 12 hours yesterday, heat came from in there. It's warm inside, but of course, once you open an area, cold air enters there. In that case, we need to work fast, we need to reach the survivor quickly."

Thousands of rescue workers continued to work relentlessly against harsh conditions, searching for survivors on the third day after massive earthquakes shook southeastern Türkiye.
The 23-year-old medical worker Furkan from Istanbul joined the rescue operations in Malatya as a volunteer.
"We do whatever is needed. Whether it is that water needs to be carried or that soil needs to be thrown. We enter or exit. We do everything. We try to help as much as we can," said Furkan.
Harsh weather conditions made rescue efforts very difficult, but rescuers said that the lack of equipment made their work even more challenging.
"Lots of sledgehammers, chisels, drills, we really need them. We even need gloves right now. We do not have spare gloves for example. I only work with this glove. Our gloves get torn. We work in the cold. It's winter here," said Furkan.
At the disaster site, the digging to look for survivors seldom stops, as rescuers know that each passing hour is increasingly critical for the survivors trapped beneath the rubble.

In that case, we need to work fast, we need to reach the survivor quickly," said Dogan.
More than 60,000 rescue workers are now active in southeastern Türkiye, and will be racing against time in the upcoming days as the search for survivors continues.
The death toll from Monday's devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria has risen to 15,383, according to data released by authorities and rescuers.
