  Rescuers save seven more from earthquake
Updated 02 May 2003, 09.34
Rescuers save another child from the rubble
Rescuers have saved another seven children in Turkey, but many more are still trapped after Thursday's powerful earthquake.

More than 80 are still trapped under rubble after the four-story school building collapsed following a strong earthquake.

The Prime Minister of Turkey has promised to look into why the building collapsed, with lots of people blaming bad building work.

Map
Around 100 people are known to have been killed in the south-east part of the country, where the earthquake happened.

So far 90 children have been rescued since the earthquake, but that still leaves around 80 that no-one knows the location of.

The earthquake, which measured a strong 6.4 on the Richter Scale, happened near the city of Bingol on Thursday morning.

Lots of parents rushed to the primary and middle schools in the village of Celtiksuyu in Bingol province, to wait for news.
