Miners in Kahramanmaraş pulled a 17-year-old girl from the rubble on the 11th day of Türkiye’s massive earthquakes, 248 hours later. The rescued Aleyna Ölmez’s relatives hugged the miners and shed tears.
AFAD, miners and fire fighters continue to search for Aleyna’s sister, who are trapped under the rubble.
On the final day of the Eid al-Adha holiday, traffic came to a standstill at the Kocaeli crossing of the Northern Marmara Highway as thousands began returning to Istanbul.
Congestion intensified due to occasional accidents and vehicle breakdowns. Gendarmerie and highway crews are working continuously to keep traffic flowing. Aerial footage showed long lines of vehicles stretching along the route.
