How A 3-Foot Man With Dwarfism Is Helping Earthquake Rescue Operations!

Istanbul: Almost a week after an earthquake, measuring 7 on the Richter scale, hit coastal Turkey, the search is still on in Izmir to see if there are any more survivors under the piles of concrete and debris.

Hundreds of rescuers have been toiling day and night to try and save lives. One of them stands out, as he suffers from dwarfism.

Ridvan Celik, who is just 3 feet tall, is taking advantage of his small size by crawling under the rubble to reach places where others can’t, Times Now reported.

After hearing about the deadly earthquake, Ridvan travelled to Izmir from his home town and joined the rescue teams.

“When I heard about the earthquake in Istanbul, I bought my own ticket and came to Izmir. We met our teammates here. I think about the children and parents who might be under the rubble with my memories and experiences of the 1999 earthquake,” Ridvan the Turkish media.

“I jumped on the task, thinking that it could be me or my loved ones under that rubble. I did not hesitate,” he added.

The rescue operations are becoming more and more difficult, especially with the temperatures dipping, but that has not dented Radvik’s spirit as he continues to work round the clock.
