Rescue teams that had been sent to Turkey to help in the search for survivors following the massive earthquakes last week, have started to return home.
The first flight landed at Zurich last night.
Over the past week, the 87 people and eight specialized dogs, saved 11 – including a six month old baby and his mother.
