(Reuters) - Rescue workers pulled a man from the rubble alive on Thursday, more than four days after a huge quake killed at least 534 in Turkey, while homeless survivors fearing death from cold begged for aid and some accused the government of a slow response.
"Praise be to Allah!" cried the uncle of 18-year-old Imdat, whose name means "help" in Turkish, as hundreds of onlookers gave shouts of joy in the town of Ercis, the place worst hit by Sunday's 7.2 magnitude quake in eastern Turkey."
