A family of five were pulled from the rubble to safety in Turkey's Gaziantep province earlier today five days after Monday's earthquake, according to a report from AP.
The family are reported to have survived in their collapsed home in the region, which is located close to the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude quake.
After the parents and their two daughters and son were brought to safety, rescuers are reported to have cheered and chanted “God is Great!”.
The same news outlet reports further miraculous rescues today - including a seven-year-old girl who was pulled from the debris in the province of Hatay after almost 132 hours.
