Teen Rescued After 10 days Under Rubble Of Turkey Quake.


A teenage girl has been pulled alive from the rubble in Turkey.

The rescue comes more than 10 days after an earthquake that killed more than 42,000 people in the country and neighbouring Syria.

The 17-year-old was rescued 248 hours since the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck on February 6th.

Footage showed the young woman being carried on a stretcher to an ambulance, covered with a thermal blanket.

However,  hopes are now fading of finding any more survivors. Entire families have been wiped out by the disaster, and thousands of children are now orphans.

Irish aid agency Concern, which has been working in both regions for the past 10 years, has hundreds of staff on the ground who were able to begin responding within hours of the quake.
