Thousands in eastern Turkey are preparing to spend a third night outdoors in near-freezing temperatures late Tuesday, as search and rescue crews pick through the rubble of buildings destroyed by a powerful earthquake that killed hundreds of people.
Officials said Tuesday that the death toll had reached 432, while another 1,352 people were injured after Sunday's 7.2 magnitude quake.
Earlier Tuesday, a two-week-old baby girl, her mother and grandmother were pulled alive from the rubble of an apartment building in the hardest-hit town of Ercis, 48 hours after the earthquake toppled some 2,000 buildings in the region.
