Syrian volunteers join rescue efforts for quake survivors


Besnaya (Syria) (AFP) – Syrian civilians volunteer help the White Helmets rescuers as they search for survivors under the rubble of collapsed buildings after a deadly earthquake shook the country and neighbouring Turkey, killing over 16,000. A leading UN official called for the facilitation of aid access to rebel-held areas in the northwest of Syria, warning that relief stocks will soon be depleted.
