After one week of being trapped in the rubble of a building decimated in Turkey’s earthquake, a girl was miraculously rescued and carried to safety Monday, new video shows.<\/p>\n
Footage of the rescue shows the moment the child, identified as Miray by Turkey’s transport minister, was pulled from a pile of debris in Adiyaman after an agonizing 178 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A team of rescue crew members wearing hard hats can be seen clamoring upon finding the child and carrying her away from the rubble, some shouting “God is great!”<\/p>\n
Miray appeared to be crying as she was placed on a stretcher and taken away by medical personnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rescue offers glimmers of hope in the ongoing recovery effort, as the death toll from the 7.8- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes<\/a> that hit southeastern Turkey and northern Syria on Feb. 6 passed 35,000 Monday.<\/a><\/p>\n Over the weekend, other survivors were pulled from the rubble. Emergency workers rescued 11-year-old Lena Maradini on Sunday, who had been trapped for more than 160 hours close to the epicenter in Hatay<\/a>, a European Pressphoto Agency picture showed. A woman, Naide Umay, was also rescued from the rubble nearby after almost 175 hours, according to a video by Reuters.<\/p>\n Officials have said this is the worst natural disaster to hit the region in a century.<\/p>\n
