Rescuers searching the collapsed hotel that had left members of a school volleyball team have now found three bodies, following the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria.
The young group of volleyball players who make a team were reportedly missing after the earthquake struck on Monday.
The bodies, including one eighth-grade student, were discovered on Wednesday, according to BBC.
Also, the dead bodies of two teachers and a student was recovered from the seven-storey hotel that the group had been staying in.
A group of 39 people, comprising of boys’ and girls’ teams and teachers, were staying in the Isias Hotel in the centre of Adiyaman, which came down when the 7.8 magnitude quake hit, Mirror believed.
The young athletes were visiting the city from Famagusta Turkish Maarif College in Northern Cyprus along with teachers and parents.
There have so far been four known survivors to have escaped the rubble without the help of rescuers.
The BBC are also reporting that one teacher who survived the crushing quake is fearing for her daughter who is still trapped in the wreckage.
Rescuers’ hopes of saving the volleyball group appear to be fading as the search for survivors of one of the world’s deadliest quakes enters a third day.
More than 17,000 people are now confirmed to have died after Monday’s quake that has ravaged the southern Turkey and northern Syria region.
