Zora says he and his brother, Muthana, who flew to Turkey last week to search for their sister, had remained near the scene of the excavation of the building. He said he is grateful to the local people and the search and rescue teams who assisted in finding the 33-year-old woman. The magnitude 7.8 quake and powerful aftershocks toppled or damaged tens of thousands of buildings, destroyed roads and closed airports for a time. The quake affected 10 provinces in Turkey that are home to some 13.5 million people, as well as a large area in northwest Syria that is home to millions. The death toll has eclipsed 35,500, with nearly 32,000 of those in Turkey.
