1 . A young girl was rescued from the ruins of an apartment block in the southern Turkish city of Adiyaman on Monday, 178 hours after a terrible earthquake shook the area. The girl was six years old and rescuers were also close to reaching her older sister. It’s one of several amazing rescues that are still taking place following an earthquake that killed more than 37,000 in Turkey and Syria last Monday.

Rescuer Aksoy told reporters he was searching through the ruins of the building when he heard a child’s shout. He then asked for silence and later found where the girl was. The girl waved at him, told him her name and said that she was okay, Aksoy said.

One member of the rescuers said, “My colleague and I looked at each other like ‘Did you hear that, too?’ We listened again. There was a very weak voice saying something like ‘I’m here. ‘ Then we shut everything down, the machines, and started listening again. And there really was a voice coming from a small space next to a dishwasher.”

Health ministry officials said the girl was in good condition but would be kept under observation. A 13-year-old boy was also rescued on Monday after being trapped for 182 hours. Footage from a news agency shows the teenager being rescued from a collapsed building in the southern Turkish province of Hatay. He held his rescuer’s hand as he was put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance.

UN aid deputy Martin Griffiths said during a visit to the disaster area in Syria on Monday that the rescue phase was “coming to an end”, with assistance next turning to shelter, food and clothing.
