Istanbul: Miracles still do happen.

How else does one explain the escape story of two women from the devastating earthquakes in Turkey?

After being trapped under the debris of collapsed buildings for five days, rescuers in Turkey pulled out two women alive on Saturday, Reuters reported.

One of the women, 70-year-old Menekse Tabak, was covered in a blanket as a rescue team from Mexico carried her to an ambulance in the province of Kahramanmaras.

The other woman was an injured 55-year-old, identified as Masallah Cicek. She was extricated from under the rubble of a collapsed building in Diyarbakir, largest city in southeast Turkey, state news agency Anadolu reported.

Turkish Vice-President Fuat Oktay said around 80,000 people were being treated in hospitals, while 1.05 million left homeless were in temporary shelters.

The death toll in the devastating earthquakes in southern Turkey and northwest Syria has gone past 26,000.

World Health Organisation chief Tedros Ghebreyesus arrived in Syria’s quake-hit Aleppo on Saturday.
