Man pulled from rubble 100 hours after quake

RESCUE workers last night pulled out a man alive from the rubble more than 100 hours after an earthquake that killed more than 500 people in eastern Turkey.

The man, who was rescued in the town of Ercis, the hardest hit by Sunday’s 7.2 magnitude tremor, was whisked away in an ambulance to the cheers of onlookers.

Rain gave way to snow yesterday in eastern Turkey, making life miserable for thousands of earthquake survivors as the death toll rose to 534.
