Earthquake: 10-year-old Turkish Boy Rescued Alive After 4 Days Under Rubble

A 10-year-old boy has been found alive from a collapsed house, four days after an earthquake struck Turkey and Syria killing over 20,000 persons.

Information gathered revealed that the boy was trapped under the rubble in the town of Kahramanmaraş for more than 100 hours.

The Israel Defence Force (IDF), which has been assisting with the rescue work, tweeted on Friday.

“The rescue teams provided the boy with lifesaving medical treatment during the rescue and afterwards transferred him to a hospital for further medical treatment,’’ the IDF said.

Israel sent more than 380 aid workers to Turkey in recent days as part of a relief operation, including doctors, nurses and paramedics.
