Rescue of a Two-Year-Old Child After 79 Hours Post-Earthquake

Rescue workers pulled a two-year-old child from the rubble of a collapsed building in the city of Antakya in southern Turkey, 79 hours after a massive earthquake struck the region this week, claiming the lives of more than 19,000 people in Turkey and Syria. Footage from the Turkish humanitarian relief organization showed rescuers looking through a narrow gap in the debris of a building in Antakya and pulling out the crying child. A worker from the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority carried the child away and handed him over to healthcare workers, while passersby captured the rescue scene on their mobile phones.
