    Antakya: Aid agencies and governments stepped up a scramble to send help to earthquake-hit parts of Turkey and Syria on Tuesday, as rescuers continued to pull survivors out of the rubble more than 200 hours after devastation swept the region. On Tuesday, the United Nations announced a deal with Damascus to deliver UN aid through two more border crossings from Turkey to northwest Syria, which was likely to help in the short term.

    The death toll eclipsed 35,500 — nearly 32,000 of those in Turkey. In Syria, the toll in the northwestern region has reached 2,166, according to the rescue group known as the White Helmets. Over 1,400 people have died in government-held areas, according to the Syrian Health Ministry. Image Credit: AFP

    The toll is nearly certain to rise as search teams turn up more bodies following the magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 quakes that struck nine hours apart on Feb. 6 in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria — and the window for finding survivors was closing. Image Credit: Reuters

    In Adiyaman province, rescuers reached 18-year-old Muhammed Cafer Cetin, and medics gave him an IV with fluids before attempting a dangerous extraction from a building that crumbled further as rescuers were working. Medics fitted him with a neck brace and he was carted away on a stretcher with an oxygen mask, Turkish TV showed. Image Credit: Reuters

    Two others were rescued from a destroyed building in central Kahramanmaras, near the epicenter. Dozens of rescuers and Turkish soldiers at the site hugged and clapped after the rescues including that of Muhammed Enes, 17, who was seen wrapped in a thermal blanket and carried on a stretcher to an ambulance in images shown by broadcaster Haberturk. Rescuers then asked for quiet, and one shouted “Can anyone hear me?" in the frenzied hunt for more survivors. Image Credit: AP

    The United Nations said Monday that President Bashar Assad of Syria had agreed to open two new crossing points from Turkey to his country’s northwest to allow in aid and equipment for millions of victims. The crossings at Bab al-Salameh and Al Raée are to be opened for an initial period of three months, but it wasn't immediately clear when and if the UN aid would get through. Image Credit: AFP

    Until now, the UN has only been allowed to deliver aid to the Idlib area through a single crossing at Bab Al-Hawa, and the world body has been under intense pressure to get more aid and heavy equipment into northwest Syria. Image Credit: AFP

    A first Saudi aid plane, carrying 35 tons of food, landed in Aleppo on Tuesday, according to Syrian state media. The Gulf kingdom has raised some $50 million to help Turkey and Syria. Saudi planes have previously landed in Turkey, and Saudi trucks delivered some aid into impoverished rebel-held northwestern Syria. Image Credit: AFP

    Several other Arab countries have sent planes loaded with aid to Syria, including Jordan and Egypt, the United Arab Emirates. Algeria, Iraq, Oman, Tunisia, Sudan and Libya have also delivered aid to Damascus. The quake affected 10 provinces in Turkey that are home to some 13.5 million people, as well as a large area in northwest Syria that is home to millions. Image Credit: Reuters

    Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said late Monday that rescue work continued in Hatay province, along with Kahramanmaras — the epicenter — and Adiyaman. Rescue work appears to have ended in the remaining seven provinces. Image Credit: Reuters

    The needs were immense, and incoming aid was still short of fulfilling them. Much of the water system in the quake-hit region was not working, raising the risks of contamination. Image Credit: Reuters
