In Turkey, more than a week after the earthquakes, the hope of finding survivors is increasingly slim.
Gradually, humanitarian aid and medical assistance actions are taking precedence over search and rescue operations, and huge quantities of material are arriving in the country every day.
On the tarmac of Gaziantep airport (southern Turkey), the comings and goings of planes is incessant.
Time is running out: Turkish hospitals must be relieved, overwhelmed when they are not damaged or even destroyed.
In the hours following the earthquakes, Turkey triggered a request for assistance by calling on the European Civil Protection Mechanism.
On Sunday, a French cargo plane landed, carrying on board some 60 tons of equipment to be used to set up a field hospital.
