A 70-year-old man was pulled from the rubble of a flattened building in Turkey early Sunday after being buried under the debris for 33 hours following a powerful earthquake.
The death toll from Friday afternoon's quake rose to 51. Turkish authorities have announced 49 deaths in the coastal city of Izmir, while two teenagers died on the Greek island of Samos.
The man, identified as Ahmet Citim, was rescued from the rubble of the residential "Riza Bey" building, one of the 20 residencies that collapsed during the earthquake.
