Turkey earthquake: Rescue workers pull four-year-old girl from rubble as death toll rises to 102

Turkish rescue workers pulled out a girl from the rubble of a collapsed building in Izmir on Tuesday as the death toll from last week's devastating earthquake reached 102. 

Ayda Gezgin, aged four-years-old, was trapped under a collapsed building for four days and freed after Turkish rescuers found her beneath the rubble. 

Gezgin was taken to a nearby ambulance and wrapped in a thermal blanket amid the sound of applause and cheers from rescue workers. 

The quake injured 994 people in Izmir, with 147 still being treated, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said on Tuesday, adding that rescuers were still combing five buildings in the search effort.

More than 3,500 tents and 13,000 beds are being used for temporary shelters in Turkey, where relief efforts have drawn in nearly 8,000 personnel and 25 rescue dogs, the agency said.

On Monday, rescue workers found a three-year-old girl in a collapsed building, three days after the earthquake struck parts of southern Turkey. 

The earthquake collapsed eight buildings in Izmir and was the most powerful quake to strike Turkey in nearly a decade.

Greek officials also confirmed that two teenagers had died on the island of Samos, the centre of the quake.

Last week's earthquake was the deadliest seismic event in Turkey since an earthquake in the eastern city of Van in 2011 which killed more than 500 people. A quake in January this year killed 41 people in the eastern province of Elazig.

Turkey is crossed by many fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. In 1999, two powerful quakes killed 18,000 people in northwestern Turkey.
