Two Israeli tourists are reported dead and one has been rescued in a massive earthquake in Turkey that has killed more than 7,000 people so far. “There was a shaking, I woke up and said [to my husband] `Itzik, the kids.’ He said `wow’ and then nothing,” Iris Franco told Israel Radio after she crawled to safety. “That’s when everything happened, the whole room collapsed on us.” Her husband, two children and in-laws remained trapped in the ruins as rescue crews tried to reach them.
