Rescuers again worked through the night to rescue people clinging to life. But some teams have started scaling back operations as low temperatures reduced the already slim chances of survival.
Earlier on Tuesday, a boy and a man were saved in hard-hit Kahramanmaraş, while rescuers were still trying to reach a grandmother, mother and daughter from one family who appeared to have survived in the broken masonry of a building.
In the southern Turkish city of Antakya, excavators began tearing down heavily damaged buildings and clearing rubble in one devastated residential area.
Urbanisation Minister Murat Kurum said some 42,000 buildings had either collapsed, were in urgent need of demolition, or were severely damaged across 10 cities.
The death toll from powerful earthquakes that struck Türkiye last week has risen to 31,974, the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said on Tuesday.
It said that nearly 195,962 victims have been evacuated from the quake zone in southern Turkey.
The magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 tremors last week were centered in Kahramanmaraş and struck nine other provinces -- Hatay, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Osmaniye, and Şanliurfa.
More than 13 million people have been affected by the devastating quakes.
Several countries in the region, including Syria and Lebanon, also felt the strong tremors that struck Türkiye in the space of fewer than 10 hours.
More than 249,000 search and rescue personnel are currently working in the field, the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) said.
A total of 9,315 foreign personnel from 80 nations are currently working in the disaster zone, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
