ISTANBUL

Three people were rescued from under rubble on Tuesday, 33 hours after a devastating earthquake hit southern Türkiye.

A 4-year-old girl, her mother and a 60-year-old woman were rescued by teams sent by the Tuzla municipality in Istanbul in two separate locations in Hatay province, one of the hard-hit regions by 7.7- and 7.6-magnitude earthquakes.

All were transported to the hospital.

Footage showed a woman identified as Mihriye, 60, hugging rescue teams after being evacuated.

At least 3,549 people were killed and 22,168 injured in 10 provinces after two strong earthquakes struck the region early Monday.
