Haiti: 69-year-old pulled out alive after a week

Port-au-Prince: A Mexican rescue team on Tuesday pulled a 69-year-old Haitian woman alive from the rubble of a Roman Catholic compound in Port-au-Prince, which collapsed in last week's devastating earthquake.

Ena Zizi survived a whole week buried in the ruins of the residence of Haiti's Roman Catholic archbishop, who died in the earthquake.

The eldest of her seven children is calling it a miracle. Zizi told the rescuers that for a few days, she talked with another person buried in the rubble. But after he fell silent, she spent her time praying.

Zizi, surprisingly resilient for a 60 year old, said she's just hurt her leg hurt.
