Ercis, Turkey, Oct 28: A 13-year-old boy, trapped for five days inside fallen debris, used a rock in a desperate attempt to dig a hole and free himself from a building that collapsed in a massive earthquake that struck eastern Turkey, his uncle said Friday.
Rescuers from Azerbaijan pulled Ferhat Tokay out of the debris of a multistory building early on Friday, the latest survivor to emerge from the devastation of the 7-2-magnitude quake that leveled buildings and killed at least 570 people.
Some 2,500 were injured in the temblor that brought down about 2,000 buildings and left thousands homeless.
Tokay was working in a shoe shop on the ground floor of a multistory building in Ercis when the quake hit on Sunday.
