quake may have left 5 million homeless. nick, what are you seeing around you? what have you seen today? >> reporter: yeah, it's been extraordinary watching this city sort of slowly begin to fall into silence, at times desperately keeping the excavators, the crowds quiet, hoping they can hear something inside the rubble, a sign of life. it brings an eerie ghostliness to huge areas of this town. but sometimes in the case you're about to see, 109 hours after the quake, that brings out extraordinary moments of joy. over 100 hours after the worst quake in nearly 100 years, and still there are lights that won't go out. naked feet a reminder this

minute to find another survivor. and on friday they rescued three brothers from the wreckage of a five-story apartment building. state media reports they appeared to be stable after being trapped almost 120 hours. rescues like these are becoming increasingly rare. first responders aren't losing hope of finding more people alive. cnn's nick paton walsh is in southeast turkey with more on the rescue operations there. >> reporter: at times the city can be early quiet, silence falling, almost ghostly, when rescue crews join with each other and try and silence the excavators so they can hear more closely the noises that may be emanating from the rubble for the possibility that somebody is still conscious or trying to cry out for help after over 100 hours. and sometimes they see success. what you're about to see, 109 hours after the tremors. >> over 100 hours after the

alive, seen trying even to take off his oxygen mask. his father tulga who follows shortly, does not seem to move. 89 hours in the rubble, the both tore a world apart but found enough mercy to spare its youngest. now the scene behind me here where you saw the end of that report, a lot quieter, but still excavators trying to dig through the rubble. i've seen over the past hours dead bodies taken out there. the last few minutes before we came to you, erin, there were people rushing down there, heightened activity. often sadly it seems for lone hope they may hear a noise, may think there could be somebody who could be rescued. important thing to remember here, that's what life is like for those who have survived this. you can see people crowded around fires here. the reason my voice broke up

pretty bad sign in that case. but then an extraordinary moment of hope. a 4-year-old boy pulled from the wreckage alive, seemingly alert enough to try to struggle with his oxygen mask and take it off when medics tried to help him. but sadly, it seemed his father followed shortly afterwards, showing significantly less signs of life. that boy would have been taken out after 89 hours trapped beneath what would have been his apartment block behind me there. in the hours afterwards, we've seen excavators taking up this faster pace, looking to clear rubble and freeing, releasing dead bodies that have piled up around me as the day has gone by. but this city just devastated. some buildings intact, standing upright. others next to it pancaked. it is going to render huge swaths of this millions strong city uninhabitable for years, potentially. vast reassessments of the infrastructure around me. and you can see just here people

earthquake, and as you can see behind me, all this destruction. we have been witnessing search and rescue operations throughout the day. if you walk with me here, you can see that this destruction is just immense, it extends for entire city blocks. there's a huge cleanup effort underway right now, and jose, as we keep walking here, if we want to put up a double box video from a rescue that we saw late yesterday. it was actually overnight hours, a 57-year-old woman who was pulled from the debris. an incredible survival story. they say she had been trapped inside a very, very small enclosed space inside that debris, and she was able to make it out alive. she was alive. she was conscious. she was speaking with rescuers, and she managed to be rushed to the hospital, and so we walk here, we're trying to be very careful. you see these excavators here. very busy streets. over here i see some people starting to burn fires once

what have you seen today? >> reporter: anderson, as though the people haven't been hit enough, today is what was remained of hope slowly disappeared. the sign behind me is staggering. 24 hours ago it was intense activity. people trying to find any survivors. the hope for that really is gone. the excavators falling silent. you can see next to me the fires burning from the rubble here simply put by people to keep themselves warm, to get through the night. we are dealing with a homelessness crisis along with the tens of thousands of dead across turkey. we saw so close to the epicenter. it's hard to imagine how this rubble gave anyone hope. yet, for 50 or so hours after the quake, it almost did. when it stopped, when the chances of surviving ebbed, the

it seems like there is a lot of anger at the government's response. >> reporter: yeah. certainly it's fair to say that's building. it takes the place of people not quite knowing where to put their fur fury at the situation they are in. when we arrived, it's fair to say there was minimal government presence here. local rescuers doing they could. a lot of that work being initially done by locals. this morning, the army came in. large numbers of excavators to come in. it has made a difference. now as you were watching that report, behind the rubble over here, you can't see it with the camera, but there's another rescue team with a torch looking at some of the deeper recesses of the rubble here in case there's somebody alive. i have to say, the smell you get here is one of death slowly approaching. this part of the area so
