Description
In the aftermath of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake, in Hatay, one of Turkey's worst hit regions, 25-year old Abir, is rescued by medical professionals after being trapped beneath the rubble for 180 hours. After Abir's heart briefly stopped following her miraculous rescue, she is rushed to a field hospital, where medics save her life by giving her CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). "It is a miracle to reach a patient alive under the ruins," says emergency doctor, Yilmaz Aydi who was involved in the rescue operation. The earthquake which devastated parts of Turkey and Syria, has left more than 35,000 dead and millions in dire need of aid. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
