The semi-official Anadolu Agency reported that two more people were arrested for chopping down a building column in Gaziantep province. Thousands of rescuers continued to search for any signs of life in the collapsed multi-storey buildings for the seventh day after the disaster.

Chinese and local rescuers pulled a survivor from the rubble in Hatay province’s Antakya district on Sunday afternoon, 150 hours after the quake.

Meanwhile, foreign heads of state and ministers began visiting Turkey and Syria in a show of solidarity. Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias visited Turkey on Sunday. “We will continue to do our best to recover from difficult times both bilaterally and at the EU level,” said Dendias, the first European foreign minister to visit Turkey since the disaster. The Greek foreign minister’s visit comes amid long-running tensions between the two NATO nations over territorial disputes.
