Emirati emergency crew have rescued a Syrian family from under the rubbles of a collapsed building in Turkey's Kahramanmaraş province.

The rescue, as part of the UAE's 'Gallant Knight/2' operation, took more than five hours.

All members of the family - a mother, her son and two daughters - were provided with first-aid before they were moved to a nearby hospital.

Relatives and friends of the family, who were able to witness the rescue, thanked the Emirati crew for saving their family members.
