'Miracle' patient fighting for life after 180 hours under rubble

Description

After 180 hours buried under the rubble, a Syrian woman, Abir, is now fighting for her life in a Turkish hospital. "It's a miracle to reach a patient alive" explains Yilmaz Aydin, an emergency doctor in Hatay. Over a week on from the disaster, the chances of finding survivors like Abir are growing slim and focus in the affected region is turning to caring for the tens of thousands left injured and the millions made homeless.
