Rescue teams from Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus pulled a man alive from a collapsed building on Sunday 160 hours after the earthquake in Turkey, Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations said.
"Rescue work to remove the man from the rubble lasted more than four hours," the ministry said on the Telegram messaging platform on Monday, alongside a video showing rescuers pulling a man from the rubble and carrying him away.
"The work was carried out at night with a risk to life coming from a possible collapse of structures."
The toll from the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Feb. 5, rose above 33,000 and looked set to keep growing as chances of finding survivors grew more remote.
Russia sent a team of rescuers last week to Turkey and Syria after Russian President Vladimir Putin talked to leaders of both countries.
