Thousands of Turkish residents are struggling to get their bearings in the days after a deadly earthquake shook the eastern part of the country.
After spending another night in freezing temperatures, some say supplies provided by the government are too little too late.
(SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) QUAKE VICTIM, UNAL TOPRAK, SAYING:
"We have no opportunity to warm up in tents. We don't have enough blankets. 10 people lay under one blanket. There are elderly women as well. They are all feeling under the weather. We have kids. There is no organisation for proper aid distribution
Sunday's massive 7.2 magnitude quake brought more than 22-hundred buildings to the ground... personal effects in a university dorm stand untouched, exposed to the elements.
Rescue teams work through the night to remove debris and continue their search for survivors, although hope of finding more people alive is fading by the hour.
An update about one miracle recovery story... the rescue of a two week old baby girl and her mother.
The baby survived on her mother's milk while they were trapped under the rubble for two days.
Doctors say Azra, who's name means "untouched" in Arabic, is in stable condition.
