Date:

Antakya (Reuters) – A 65-year-old Syrian man and a young girl were rescued from the rubble of a building in the southern Turkish city of Antakya, 208 hours after a devastating earthquake struck the region, Reuters television showed.

Emergency workers hoped further family members would be pulled out alive soon. The pair’s rescue takes the number of survivors pulled from ruins on Tuesday to nine, more than a week the worst quake in Turkey’s modern history.
