Miracles continue as more survivors have been pulled alive from the rubble nine days after strong earthquakes hit southeastern Türkiye.
First responders pulled Fatma Gungor, a 77-year-old woman, alive from the rubble in southeastern Adiyaman province late on Tuesday, some 212 hours after "Disaster of the Century" struck parts of Türkiye and Syria.
"I'm so excited, I don't know what to say. We almost got to the point of giving up," a rescuer at the site told local media and public broadcaster TRT Haber, which has been broadcasting visuals of the rescue missions since last week.
"We didn't even eat. Thank God it has ended well. I thank both Kocaeli Golcuk Shipyard [workers] and AFAD [rescue team]. So glad we have you."
Earlier on Tuesday, a father and his daughter were rescued some 209 hours after the tragedy in hard-hit Hatay province.
Ramazan Yucel, 45, was rescued from the rubble 207 hours after the earthquake in Adiyaman.
Two brothers, Baki Yeninar, 21, and Muhammed Enes Yeninar, 17, were rescued in the province of Kahramanmaras, where the quakes were centred, almost 200 hours later.
Baki said he held onto life by drinking a protein shake.
