1:10Now PlayingRescue teams on Monday brought out two girls alive from the wreckage of their collapsed apartment buildings in the Turkish city of Izmir, three days after a strong earthquake centered in the Aegean Sea hit Turkey and Greece.
The overall death toll from Friday's quake reached 81 after teams found more bodies overnight amid toppled buildings in Izmir.
Rescue workers applauded Monday as 14-year-old Idil Sirin was removed from the rubble, after being trapped for some 58 hours.
Seven hours later, rescuers working on another toppled building, extricated 3-year-old Elif Perincek, whose mother and two sisters had been rescued two days earlier.
The child spent 65 hours in the wreckage of her apartment and became the 106th person to be rescued alive, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
Onlookers applauded as rescue workers carried the girls to ambulances to take them to hospital.
Close to a thousand people were injured in the quake, which was centered in the Aegean Sea, north east of the Greek island of Samos.
It killed two teenagers on Samos and injured at least 19 other people on the island.
There was some debate over the magnitude of the earthquake.
The US Geological Survey rated it 7.0, while Istanbul's Kandilli Institute put it at 6.9 and Turkey's emergency management agency said it measured 6.6.
