We came here and started helping them. By 8:30 am (0530 GMT), I went back home as my back was hurting. When I left, they were still pulling out people from under the rubble. I went back home to get some rest and I came back here like half an hour ago.”

STORYLINE:
Rescue workers were searching for survivors on Monday in Syria after a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked wide swaths of Turkey and Syria early Monday.
Hundreds were still believed to be trapped under rubble, and the toll was expected to rise as rescue workers searched mounds of wreckage in cities and towns across the area.
Buildings were reduced to piles of pancaked floors, and major aftershocks continued to rattle the region.
In the city of Hama, one rescuer reported a seven storey building had collapsed with possibly 150 people inside.
"About 40 to 45 people were rescued and taken to Hama national hospital. There are reports that 15 to 20 people died,” said Alaa al-Shaker, a worker at the Syrian Arab Red Crescent organisation.
Rescue workers and residents in multiple cities searched for survivors, working through tangles of metal and concrete.
In Syria, over 330 people were killed in the government-held areas, officials there said.
More than 200 died in the rebel-held areas, according to the opposition White Helmets civil defence group.
AP video showed civil defence workers removing a body from underneath a collapsed building in Hama. It wasn't clear if the person was dead or alive.
Major aftershocks, some nearly as strong as the first, continued.
Rescue workers and residents in multiple cities searched for survivors, working through tangles of metal and concrete.
