Rescuers successfully pulled out a 3-year-old girl from the rubble of an earthquake in Turkey.

According to reports, the girl stayed under the rubble for 65 hours after the massive calamity hit the country of Turkey.

Elif Perincek, the 3-year-old girl, was found in the wreckage of her apartment after an earthquake hit the country.

94 people were killed by the earthquake and over 800 people have been injured.

On the morning of Monday, the girl was rescued after spending over 65 hours under the rubble following the earthquake.

On the Richter scale, the quake is at 6.6, but through other seismology, institutes said it measured 6.9.

A number of buildings have been destroyed in Izmir, the 3rd largest city in Turkey.

A small tsunami in the Seferihisar district was triggered.

Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the area too.

Muammer Celik, a firefighter that pulled the girl from the rubble of her house, told CNN that the girl was holding his hand tightly.

She did this until he brought her to safety.

At first, Celik said he thought that the 3-year-old girl was dead and even asked for a body bag from a colleague that was with him during the rescue.

Celik cleaned the dust from her face, which was white. But upon cleaning, the eyes of the girl opened up and he was left astonished.

Celik added:

There was dust on her face, her face was white. When I cleaned the dust from her face, she opened her eyes. I was astonished. It was a miracle, it was a true miracle. I am now her big brother.

The mother of the 3-year-old girl and her 10-year-old sisters, who are twins, had been rescued 2 days earlier.

Sadly, the 6-year-old brother of Elif did not survive.

Mehmet Gulluoglu, head of Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), released a statement about the Elif on Twitter, where they said:

A thousand thanks to you, my God. We have brought out our little one Elif from the apartment block.

Over 5,500 rescuers from different agencies and cities are working together to help search for survivors.

Headphones that help catch sounds from deep under are being used to track down missing people in the cities.

Cracks are also being used by experts to find more people.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victims, may they recover fast from the injuries they sustained in the incident.
