A 4-year-old girl has been rescued alive from a collapsed apartment building in İzmir 91 hours after a powerful earthquake hit the Aegean Turkish province of İzmir on Friday, according to Turkish media reports.
The child, identified by authorities as Ayla Gezgin, was in good medical condition. Television footage showed her being wrapped in a foil blanket and carried through the wreckage into an ambulance amid the applause of the rescue workers.
A member of the search and rescue teams in the area told Turkish media outlets that Ayla was smiling when they found her as if she did not remain under rubble for so many hours.
“My friends heard her voice. When they extended a hand, they saw it was a child who was moving. We rescued her in tears,” the rescue worker said.
Ayla’s mother was reported to be still under rubble.
Friday’s temblor was centered in the Aegean Sea northeast of the Greek island of Samos. There was some debate over the magnitude of the earthquake. While the US Geological Survey rated it 7.0, İstanbul’s Kandilli Institute put it at 6.9 and AFAD said it measured 6.6.
