在愛琴海遭受地震的4天后， 一名3歲的土耳其小女孩于11月3日奇跡般地被搜救人員從廢墟中救出，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)響起了熱烈的掌聲。

Rescuers in the Turkish City of Izmir have pulled a young girl out alive from the remains of a collapsed (倒塌的) housing complex four days after a strong earthquake hit Turkey and Greece. The girl was taken to a hospital in an emergency vehicle.Sounds of cheering could be heard from rescue workers and people watching nearby.

Health Minister Fahrettin Koca identified the girl on Twitter as 3-year-old Ayda Gezgin. The child had been trapped inside the rubble (瓦礫) for 91 hours. She was the 107th person to have been rescued from collapsed buildings since Friday, the day the quake struck.

After her rescue, Ayda could be heard calling out for her mother in a video that played on television. But Ayda's mother did not survive. Her body was found in the rubble hours later. Ayda's brother and father were not inside the building at the time of the quake.

Rescuer Nusret Aksoy told reporters he was searching through the wreckage of the building when he heard a child's scream. He then called for silence. He later found the girl in a small space next to a dishwasher. The girl waved at him, told him her name and said that she was okay, Aksoy said. “I got goose bumps (起雞皮疙瘩) and my colleague Ahmet cried,” he told HaberTurk television.

Ibrahim Topal, of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation said, “My colleague and I looked at each other like ‘Did you hear that, too?' We listened again. There was a very weak voice saying something like ‘I'm here'. Then we shut everything down, like the machines, and started listening again. And there really was a voice.”

Health Ministry officials said the girl was in good condition but would be kept under observation.She asked for a special meal of meatballs and a yogurt drink on her way to the hospital, the stateoperated Anadolu Agency reported.

Another 3-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl were also pulled out alive recently from collapsed buildings in Izmir, Turkey's third-largest city. At least 111 people died in the quake. Officials said 138 survivors were still hospitalized.
