Rescuers in the Turkish coastal city of Izmir pulled a young girl out alive from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building on Tuesday, four days after a strong earthquake hit Turkey and Greece.
The girl was seen being taken into an ambulance, wrapped in a thermal blanket, amid the sounds of applause and chants of “God is great!” from rescue workers and onlookers.
Media reports identified her as Ayla Gezgin, aged 4. She had been trapped inside the rubble for 91 hours since Friday’s quake struck in the Aegean Sea.
Rescuer Nusret Aksoy told reporters he heard a child scream before locating the girl next to a dishwasher. He said Ayla waved at him, told him her name and said she was OK.
On Monday, girls aged 3 and 14 were pulled out alive from collapsed buildings in Izmir.
Emergency crews retrieved more bodies elsewhere in Turkey’s third-largest city, taking the death toll to 102.
The US Geological Survey rated the quake at 7.0 magnitude, although geologists in Turkey recorded it as being less severe.
Most of the deaths occurred in Izmir, where about 1,000 people were injured.
Two teenagers died and 19 people were hurt on the Greek island of Samos, near the quake’s epicentre in the Aegean Sea.

Other must-tries
Tomato and walnut salad
A lesson in simple, seasonal eating. Wedges of tomato, chunks of cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, coriander or parsley leaves, and perhaps some fresh dill are drizzled with a crushed walnut and garlic dressing. Do consider yourself warned: if you eat this salad in Georgia during the summer months, the tomatoes will be so ripe and flavourful that every tomato you eat from that day forth will taste lacklustre in comparison.
Badrijani nigvzit
A delicious vegetarian snack or starter. It consists of thinly sliced, fried then cooled aubergine smothered with a thick and creamy walnut sauce and folded or rolled. Take note, even though it seems like you should be able to pick these morsels up with your hands, they’re not as durable as they look. A knife and fork is the way to go.
Pkhali
This healthy little dish (a nice antidote to the khachapuri) is usually made with steamed then chopped cabbage, spinach, beetroot or green beans, combined with walnuts, garlic and herbs to make a vegetable pâté or paste. The mix is then often formed into rounds, chilled in the fridge and topped with pomegranate seeds before being served.
