So nothing here is ironclad but it looks like some of those trapped folks might have had a bit of water and food [0]
> In Turkey, for example, experts say those who were stuck in collapsed residential buildings may have had access to some source of water or food.
That article cites "the rule of 4s" which I've always heard this called the "rule of 3s" (3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food), and that's what Wikipedia calls it but who knows.
Per a BBC article [1], the longest someone has ever survived without water is 18 days, but a wikipedia article about that person says that he "survived by ingesting condensed water" [2]
