TURKEY EARTHQUAKE:10-Year-Old Saved After 86 Hours Of Terror
This is the moment rescue workers in Turkey end 86 hours of terror for a 10-year-old girl as they save her from the rubble of a shattered building.
Footage of the rescue - filmed in the Akevler area of Hatay - shows the girl, named only as Nida, too exhausted to move as she is pulled to safety.
Her mother - reported local media - was also saved in the rescue.
In the video, Nida is seen almost unconscious as she is lifted through a hole in a broken block of concrete.
As she is lifted out, rescuers carry her away for medical treatment.
Newsflash obtained the images from the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality on Thursday, 9th February, along with a statement saying: "At the 86th hour of the earthquake in Akevler, Hatay, we reached 10-year-old Nida and her mother. Hope is with you."
Emergency workers are battling against the clock to save people from the rubble, with the international community sending in numerous experts to assist.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that 18,342 people are dead and 74,242 injured in the country.
The total death toll in Turkey and Syria now exceeds 21,500 people, with the latest figures indicating more than 3,377 people dead in Syria.
The World Bank has promised USD 1.78 billion to Turkey in relief and recovery assistance.
The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck early on Monday morning in southern Turkey, devastating the south of the country and northern Syria, has been described by Turkish President Erdogan as one of the worst disasters in decades.
He visited the region for the first time on Wednesday (8th February).
A second earthquake of 7.6 magnitude hit the same region again at 11:24am local time on Monday, causing even more damage.
More than 11,000 buildings have reportedly collapsed in Turkey, with damage and destruction spanning a border region of approximately 650 miles.
Volunteer rescue workers in northern Syria have said that they lack the most basic equipment to rescue those trapped under the rubble of their homes.
