ERCIS, Turkey (Reuters) - A week after a powerful earthquake in southeast Turkey, hordes of survivors roamed the streets past devastated homes, some complaining their families still had no tents with winter closing in.
On Saturday, the official death toll crept up to 582. The town of Ercis was worst hit by the 7.2 magnitude quake, with 455 people killed. The last person dug out of the rubble alive was a 13-year-old boy in the early hours of Friday, and hopes of finding more survivors were all but gone.
