Three survivors pulled alive from rubble in Turkey, more than 248 hours after earthquake

At least three more people, including two minors, have been incredibly pulled alive from the rubble of a devastating earthquake, 10 days after it struck parts of Turkey and Syria.
Aleyna Ölmez, 17, was dubbed the "miracle girl" when she was pulled alive from the rubble in Turkey on Thursday, 248 hours after the Feb. 6 earthquake, as rescue efforts shifted to recovery operations ten days after the disaster.
She was later rescued by 30-year-old Neslihan Kilic and a 12-year-old boy, Osman, who told rescuers that other people were buried nearby.
At least 43,885 people have been killed across Turkey and neighboring Syria after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit, according to authorities.
