The death toll across Turkey and Syria following last week Monday’s catastrophic earthquake has reached 33,181, according to the latest figures.

The death toll in Turkey has climbed to 29,605, according to Turkish officials.

In Syria, the total number of deaths stands at 3,576, including 2,168 in rebel-held areas in the northwest.

A 10-year-old girl was rescued after 147 hours under the rubble, the latest in a series of harrowing stories of success as workers in Turkey continue to search for survivors.

White Helmets volunteer organization says rescue operations are over in rebel-held areas of northwest Syria.

Relief efforts there have been complicated by a long-running civil war.

The Syrian government approved sending aid to the rebel-held territories Friday but did not provide specifics.
