Four-year-old girl rescued more than five days after earthquake

The rescue of several survivors from the rubble of buildings in Turkey lifted the spirits of search crews on early Friday morning. 

After almost five days unlikely survivors are still being found. A four-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble early on Friday morning in one of the worst hit earthquake areas in the Turkish province of Hatay.

Several people were rescued from the rubble of buildings during the night, including a 10-year-old boy saved with his mother after 90 hours in the Samandag district of Hatay province.

But hopes are fading whether many more would be found alive in the ruins of thousands of collapsed buildings in towns and cities across the region.
