A Chinese rescue squad saved a Turkish family of five people from the debris of a house in earthquake-ravaged Belen Town on Thursday afternoon local time.
Members of the civilian rescue team Ramunion worked together with the rescue forces of the Turkish army to extricate the two adults and three children at 1:30pm on Thursday, following the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday.
The two parents were injured and the four members of the Chinese team rushed into the collapsed house to conduct first-aid services, according to He Jun, the leader of the team.
