Turkey woman pulled alive from rubble a week after quake

Rescuers pulled a woman alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in Turkey on Monday a week after a major earthquake struck Turkey and Syria killing more than 36,000 people.

Sibel Kaya, 40, was rescued in southern Gaziantep province, some 170 hours after the first of two quakes struck the region, reports Reuters.  

Rescue workers in Kahramanmaras had also made contact with three survivors, believed to be a mother, daughter and baby, in the ruins of a building.

With chances of finding more survivors growing more remote, the toll in both countries rose above 36,000 on Monday and looked set to keep growing.

It was the deadliest quake in Turkey since 1939.
