Woman found alive week after Turk building collapse

NTV television showed rescue workers applauding as the woman, named as Yasemin Yaprakci, was carried from the rubble to a waiting ambulance on a stretcher.

Anatolia news agency said Yaprakci was very tired after her ordeal but NTV quoted her as saying: "I am fine, don’t worry."

Rescue workers tracked her down after hearing her cries for water, NTV said.

Her rescue came one day after a 16-year-old boy was also dragged alive from the rubble.

The death toll from the collapse of the building now stands at 84, NTV said.
