ERCIS, Turkey ? Turkish workers have started razing damaged buildings and clearing the debris of collapsed ones a week after a massive earthquake killed at least 582 people.
A 5.3-magnitude aftershock early Sunday caused panic in the quake zone in eastern Van province, where thousands of survivors spent the night in tents. An Associated Press photographer witnesssed people screaming in panic as the aftershock jolted apartment buildings in the city of Van.
An AP television crew, in the worst hit-town of Ercis, says workers using excavators started clearing the rubble of collapsed buildings as hopes dimmed for survivors.
However, not all the missing have been recovered yet. Some families are still waiting for news about the fate of their loved ones.
