Turkey keeps up hunt for quake survivors

  • 12 years ago
Emergency workers have rescued a 27-year-old woman alive from a collapsed building, nearly three days after a powerful earthquake killed around 459 people and left tens of thousands homeless in southeastern Turkey.

The woman, Gozde Bahar, went into cardiac arrest en route to the hospital after her rescue on Wednesday, in the town of Ercis, one of the hardest hit by Sunday's 7.2 magnitude quake.

Al Jazeera's Anita Mc Naught reports from Ercis.
