ADIYAMAN, Turkey (AP) — The desperate search for earthquake survivors in Turkey and Syria entered its final hours as rescuers using sniffer dogs and thermal cameras surveyed pulverized apartment blocks for any sign of life a week after the disaster. Teams in southern Turkey’s Hatay province cheered and clapped Monday when a 13-year-old boy identified only by his first name, Kaan, was pulled from the rubble. In Gaziantep province, rescue workers found a woman alive in the wreckage of a five-story building. But experts say the odds of finding more people alive are falling fast. The death toll has surpassed 35,000.
