KAHRAMANMARAS, Turkey: Rescuers pulled out more survivors from the rubble a week after an earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, leaving more than 33,000 dead, as the United Nations warned the toll was set to rise far higher.

A young boy and a 62-year-old woman were the latest miracle rescues after nearly seven days trapped under the wreckage of collapsed buildings since last Monday's devastating quake.
