A mother and her 6-year-old daughter were rescued alive from a collapsed house in the Turkish city of Kahramanmaraş Thursday, 68 hours after the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday.
German aid organization @fire, working alongside British aid organization SARAID, said in a statement that the mother and child were located in the rubble of the collapsed building around 5 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
“For nearly 20 hours, disaster relief workers worked their way through the rubble. Using heavy equipment and manual labor, the task was to create a tunnel through the rubble in order to be able to rescue the mother and child,” according to the statement.
The rescue mission was “a race against time,” @fire added, noting that the two were “in danger of freezing to death” amid sub-zero temperatures.
The pair was rescued just after midnight on Thursday, according to the aid organization.

A United Nations aid convoy, made up of six trucks carrying shelter items and Non Food Items (NFI), crossed from Turkey into northwest Syria Thursday through the Bab Al Hawa crossing — the only humanitarian aid corridor between Turkey and rebel-held areas of northern Syria.
The delivery ended a three-day period during which no aid arrived – just 300 bodies, according to the administration that controls the only access point between the two countries.
“How are roads okay for cars carrying bodies, but not for aid?” Mazen Alloush, Bab al-Hawa’s frustrated spokesperson had asked CNN.
A top aid official told CNN earlier that efforts to help people in quake-stricken regions of Syria have been “incredibly difficult,” because passage entries along the border were destroyed due to the disaster.
The situation in Syria is starkly different to Turkey, where 70 countries and 14 international organizations have promptly offered teams of rescuers, donations and aid.
The delivery of urgent supplies to quake-hit areas of northern Syria has been complicated by a long-running civil war between opposition forces and the Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, who is accused of killing his own people. Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad says any aid it receives must go through the capital Damascus.
That leaves rebel-held areas reliant on aid groups including the UN, where millions were already suffering from the effects of extreme poverty and a cholera outbreak when the quake hit.
At the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, protesters hold signs asking why only bodies are being allowed through. The bodies belong to Syrian refugees who sought safety in Turkey and are now being sent back to be buried on home soil.
Meanwhile, “Syrians don’t know where their next meal comes from. When we say meal, it’s not about vegetables, not about meat… it’s about simple bread,” said Moutaz Adham, Oxfam’s country director for Syria.

A family of three, including two brothers and their mother, were rescued alive in the 78th hour after the earthquake that struck Turkey on Monday.
Live images from Kanal D, which is owned by CNN's partner network CNN Turk, showed rescue officials running toward the rubble to rescue a child in Pazarcik, Kahramanmaras.
A few minutes later, the rescue team was seen carrying a boy with a large blanket.
The mother of the two boys, 36-year-old Hatice İğde, was rescued after the boys were pulled from the rubble. The boys' names are Mehmet Naim İğde and Melih Igde, according to Kanal D.
Rescue personnel told Kanal D reporter that they started the rescue operation at 10 p.m. local time on Wednesday night and they heard a voice at 11 p.m. local time so they continued working all night.

More than 17,500 people have died in Turkey and Syria after a huge earthquake swept through the region Monday. Rescue workers are now racing to save survivors from the rubble of collapsed infrastructure in freezing winter conditions.
The 7.8 magnitude quake earlier this week struck 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, in Turkey’s Gaziantep province, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
A number of factors have contributed to making this earthquake so lethal. One of those is the time of day it occurred. With the quake hitting early in the morning, many people were in their beds when it happened, and were trapped under the debris of their homes.
In quake-stricken areas of northwest Syria, the region was already struggling to rebuild buildings that were severely damaged by continual aerial bombardment during the years-long civil war.
Additionally, with a cold and wet weather system moving through the region, poor conditions have made reaching affected areas trickier, and rescue and recovery efforts on both sides of the border significantly more challenging. Temperatures have been bitterly low, regularly plummeting several degrees below zero.
With scattered showers and snow in the region set to continue, the elements are putting those trapped underneath the rubble at risk of hypothermia. These survivors have already gone days without food and water.

The death toll from the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria is now at least 17,543, according to authorities.
In Turkey, the death toll has risen to at least 14,351 with 63,794 others reported injured, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said Thursday.
The total number of deaths in Syria climbs to 3,192, including 1,930 in rebel-held areas in the northwest according to the ‘White Helmets’ civil defense group, and 1,262 deaths in government-controlled parts of Syria, according to Syrian state media.
The total number of injured people in Syria across all affected territories rose to 5,158 – 2,258 in government-controlled and 2,900 in the rebel-held area.
At least 68,952 people have been injured in Syria and Turkey, according to figures from the Turkish government, the White Helmets, and Syrian state media.

Some 95 nations and 16 international organizations have pledged aid to Turkey following this week's devastating earthquake, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Thursday.
At the moment, 6,479 rescue personnel from 56 countries are in the field, Cavusoglu added during a news conference in the capital of Ankara.
"Teams from 19 more countries will be in our country within 24 hours," he commented.
Some context: Global aid has poured into Turkey following Monday's disaster, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 17,000 people and injured tens of thousands more in the country and neighboring Syria.
The situation is more complex in Syria. Earlier today, a United Nations aid convoy crossed from Turkey into northwest Syria for the first time since the quake, as the race to get international help into the country is hampered by a years-long political conflict and an acute humanitarian crisis.

Firefighters are working to extinguish a fire at Turkey's Iskenderun port, according to a CNN team on the ground Thursday.
Heavy smoke continues to rise from the port as firefighters and at least two firefighting aircraft attempt to put out the flames.
The southern Turkish port remained closed following heavy damage from Monday’s earthquake and the subsequent fire which broke out among containers at the terminal.
Turkey's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said Wednesday that efforts fight the blaze were ongoing.
"Our teams are working continuously at the Iskenderun Port to cool down the fire from air and land," the ministry tweeted.
