| Rescue teams headed for a southern Turkish city destroyed by a strong earthquake that killed more than 100 people. Civil defense officers said a 50-strong emergency group with police dogs was sent to Adana to look for survivors in the fallen buildings. Turkey's Red Cross Muslin aid organization sent 400 tents, 2,000 blankets and two moveable kitchens to Adana, where officials used television to attract people to spend the night outdoors for fear of aftershocks. A British embassy spokesman in Ankara help London had offered help to the Turkish Government after Saturday's quake, which measured 6.3 0n the Richter scale. Electricity was cut off and telephone contact was irregular. Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz said hospitals were struggling to treat 800 people injured. "The top need is providing electricity for urgent treatment in the hospitals," he said. Yilmaz was going later in the day to visit Adana, a region of several million people at the center of the quake, an officer told reporters. He said the latest reported death number was 104. Television showed pictures of sad people digging through the ruined buildings with their bare hands. A mother ran through the streets holding a child with head wound. State hospital officials made urgent requests for blood donors. The quake was also felt in Cyprus, Syria and Israel, although the deaths and damage were reported only in Turkey.
