1:10Now PlayingAbout 212 hours after the deadly earthquakes that struck turkey and Syria last Monday a 77-year-old woman was found alive.
Fatma Gungor was rescued in southern turkey on Wednesday.
Video of the rescue, seen here, was captured by the Turkish Ministry of National Defense on Wednesday.
According to turkey’s state-run news agency Anadolu, Gungor was hugged by waiting family members after she was pulled from the rubble.
A United Nations official says the death toll from the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake is likely to rise as teams scramble to remove rubble in hard-hit areas. UN regional humanitarian coordinator Muhannad Hadi told The Associated Press Thursday that the world body has “done everything we can from the very beginning.” He defended the U.N.’s response to the disaster, which many in Syria have criticized as slow and inadequate.
Hadi said the UN urged "everybody to de-politicize the humanitarian situation and focus on supporting us to reach the people.” The U.N. has reported a death toll of 6,000 for all of Syria. That figure is higher than those reported by government authorities in Damascus and civil defense officials in the northwest.
