Three survivors found almost 200 hours after the earthquake

More than 198 hours after last week's devastating earthquake, 18-year-old Muhammed Cafer Cetin was pulled from the rubble by rescue teams in the city of Adiyaman on Tuesday, reported Turkey's national broadcaster TRT. 

An emotional anchor man described the moments the teenager was pulled out of the rubble on a stretcher. Emergency workers took the young man, who was conscious, to the ambulance. 

In Turkey's Kahramanmaras province, another badly affected area, two more men were rescued alive from the rubble of an apartment block. Images on CNN Turk showed rescue workers carrying the two people, strapped onto stretchers, to waiting ambulances.
