The aftermath of the devastating earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria has entered its fifth day, with survivors still being rescued from the wreckage.
Over 21,000 people have died since a 7.8-magnitude quake struck the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep on Monday, followed by a 7.5-magnitude quake in the Kahramanmaras province shortly after.
At least 17,674 died in Turkey, while 3,337 deaths have been registered in neighbouring Syria so far.
Experts say 90 percent of survivors under the rubble are found in the first 72 hours, a window that closed early Thursday morning.
But miraculous examples are still emerging of people being pulled from under the debris during the fourth and fifth days of rescue efforts.
A Turkish teenager, who was rescued after 94 hours in Gaziantep, said he had to drink his own urine to survive.
Adnan Muhammed Korkut, 17, seemed largely unscathed as he emerged from the rubble after four days, smiling to cheering crowds.
Korkut's mother could be heard shouting his name in joy and hugging him, before he was carried away on a stretcher.
