Girl rescued from rubble

A LITTLE girl was yesterday pulled alive from the rubble of an eightstorey building which collapsed in Istanbul.

Turkish emergency services said five-yearold Havva Tekgoz, pictured, was found 18 hours after the collapse, and was taken to hospital. It came several hours after a nine-year-old boy was also rescued from the debris.

At least three people were found dead in the rubble, and 13 people – including the two children – have been rescued.
