Earlier this week, another Turkish woman dies day after her rescue following 104 hours under quake rubble.
The woman died in hospital on Saturday a day after she was pulled out of the rubble of a collapsed building in southern Turkiye, where she had been trapped for 104 hours since Monday's devastating earthquake, rescuers said.
German rescuers pulled 40-year-old Zeynep Kahraman out of the rubble in the town of Kirikhan in southern Turkiye on Friday. They hailed her survival a "miracle" as search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of the region's deadliest quake in decades kept turning up more bodies.
