2 Children Pulled Alive from Rubble of Collapsed Building in Turkey

VOA News

   Rescue teams in Turkey pulled two girls out alive Monday from under the
   rubble of their collapsed apartment buildings, three days after a
   strong earthquake centered in the Aegean Sea rocked Turkey and Greece.

   Fourteen-year-old Idil Sirin was removed from the wreckage after being
   trapped for some 58 hours.

   Seven hours later, rescuers pulled out 3-year-old Elif Perincek, whose
   mother and two sisters had been rescued two days earlier.
