SIRNAK, Türkiye (AA) - A 7-month-old baby was rescued Wednesday, more than two days after earthquakes hit the south of Türkiye.

Sirnak’s Cizre district municipality said the baby was transferred to a local hospital.

The latest figures for the disaster area are that at least 8,574 people have been killed and 49,133 wounded after the quakes struck southern Türkiye within hours of each other, affecting 13 million people.
