Turkey earthquake: 14-year-old girl rescued after 100 hours under rubble

In a state of advanced hypothermia, Fatma was transferred with oxygen to the nearest hospital after spending four days under the rubble of a three-story building.

A miracle in Kahramanmaras, the epicenter of the earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria. After several hours of hard work, Fatma, a 14-year-old girl trapped in the ruins of a three-story building for 100 hours, was able to be freed from her rubble trap and transported alive to the hospital.

They gave him oxygen and he is in a state of advanced hypothermia due to the negative temperatures that have affected the area for four days. Rescuers transferred the stretcher to an ambulance, and a moment of rare elation then gripped the rescuers who, four days after the tremors, fear they won’t find many survivors.

A few hours before they had been able to communicate with the teenager who was only a meter away from them. However, due to the large amount of debris and the unstable structure of the destroyed building, operations could not be carried out quickly.

According to a last official statement on the morning of this Friday, the earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday caused the death of at least 21,000 people.
