A family of five were rescued alive from beneath rubble in Turkey after spending five days beneath their collapsed home following a major earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
Rescue workers first extricated mother and daughter Havva and Fatmagul Aslan from among a mound of debris in the hard-hit town of Nurdagi, in Gaziantep province, HaberTurk reported.
Then they miraculously reached the father, Hasan Aslan, but he insisted that his other daughter, Zeynep, and son Saltik Bugra be saved first.
The rescues bring the total number of people rescue today to 12, despite diminishing hopes amid freezing temperatures and the death toll tragically passes 25,000.
