Young woman found alive after spending 248 hours under rubble in Türkiye
KAHRAMANMARAS, Türkiye (AA) – A young woman was pulled alive from the debris of a collapsed building 248 hours after an earthquake hit southern Türkiye, as hopes of finding more survivors fade.
Rescuers found Aleyna Olmez, 17, alive under the rubble in Dulkadiroglu district of Kahramanmaras province.
She was then taken to a hospital in the capital Ankara.
Speaking to Anadolu, Hacer Atlas, a member of search and rescue team who saved the young quake victim, said they reached Aleyna after long and tiring efforts.
“First we held her hand, then we took her out. She is in a very good condition, can communicate. I hope we will continue to receive good news about her,” Atlas said.
