A dog has been rescued from the rubble of the Turkey earthquake after being buried for 90 hours. The lucky dog, named Pamuk, was trapped after the biggest natural disaster in more than two decades shook the region, killing more than 20,000 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless and hungry.
Pamuk drank water offered by rescuers as they tore away at the heavy debris left by the 7.8-magnitude tremor and powerful aftershocks.
Neighbours said the owner was in hospital – but the rescue raised hopes that children and adults could yet be discovered alive under the debris.
A 10-day-old baby and his mother were also plucked from the rubble on Friday.
The child was wrapped in a thermal blanket before being carried to an ambulance, and his mother was taken out on a stretcher.
Six other people were pulled from a collapsed building in Iskenderun, also in Hatay province, after spending 101 hours beneath the rubble, rescue workers said.
