An 18-year-old named Muhammed Cafer was rescued from the rubble of a building in southern Turkey on Tuesday (February 14), the third rescue of the morning some 198 hours after last week’s devastating earthquake, the Turkish defense ministry said.
In Turkey’s Adiyman province, rescue workers were seen carrying Cafer strapped on a stretcher, an oxygen mask on his face and a health worker holding an IV bag, from the site of the collapsed building to a waiting ambulance.
Cafer could be seen moving his fingers as he was carried away.
Last Monday’s quake and a major aftershock have killed more than 37,000 people in southern Turkey and northwest Syria, according to official tallies expected to rise much higher.
