tangled piles of metal and concrete, making the search efforts perilous, while freezing temperatures made them ever more urgent.More than 8,000 people have been pulled from the debris in Turkey alone, and some 380,000 have taken refuge in government shelters or hotels, said Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay.
