ANKARA, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Search and rescue teams pulled a 13-year-old child alive from the debris 108 hours after Sunday's massive earthquake that hit Turkey's eastern province of Van, semi-official Anatolia news agency reported Friday.
Relief teams pulled 13-year-old Serhat Tokay alive from the rubble of an apartment building in Van's Ercis town early Friday, according to the report.
Tokay was then taken under treatment in a field hospital.
The 7.2-magnitude earthquake on Sunday afternoon led to the collapse of about 80 buildings in Ercis, a town of 75,000 people close to the Iranian border. The region is among Turkey's most earthquake-prone zones.
