Some hopeful news coming from Turkey indicates that thermal cameras have picked up heat signatures of many people still alive but trapped under rubble where Christian Atsu was staying before the devastating earthquake. 

Turkish tabloid Ajansspor, for instance, tweeted on Thursday morning that about 1,000 people could still be alive but trapped under collapsed buildings. 

There are many living people, confirmed by thermal cameras. The building, where national handball player Cemal Kütahya and his family, Hatayspor manager Taner Savut and football player Christian Atsu are located, is very crowded with a capacity of 1000 people.

Cemal Kutahya is a Turkish handball player.

Thermal cameras convert infrared data emitted by living organisms into an electronic image that shows the apparent surface temperature of the object being measured. 

The news has been well-received by thousands of people who replied with goodwill messages. 

@ajansspor commented as follows: "Oh God!! Hear our humble plea!! Protection is your. May your NAME be praised."
