A little girl has been pulled from rubble in Turkey a week after deadly earthquakes

A young girl was pulled from the rubble of a building in Turkey on Monday, a week after devastating earthquakes and aftershocks rocked the region, killing more than 35,000 people.

Video from the scene showed the child, Miray, who was found in Adiyaman and carried away on a stretcher by rescue workers. Government officials said the girl was four years old, but media reports later said she was six.

4-year-old Mirai was rescued from the rubble 178 hours after the earthquake.

Don’t stop until you save the last life!

“Don’t stop until you save the last life!” He tweeted on the official page of the Turkish Coal Projects, which posted the video of Mirai’s rescue.

Experts say the window to rescue people trapped under the twisted rubble of buildings that collapsed in last week’s earthquake is nearly closed. The magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes reduced large swathes of the border region between Turkey and Syria to rubble. Freezing temperatures and the amount of time a human can survive without water are among the factors that reduce the likelihood of rescue over time. Tens of thousands of corpses have been found in searches.

Meanwhile, volunteers mobilized on Monday to help the millions of survivors, many of whom are now homeless. In Turkey’s Hatay province, rescue workers also managed to rescue a 13-year-old boy named Can from under a destroyed building. When he was pulled out into the open air, cheers broke out.
