Rescuers plucked a 27-year-old woman from the wreckage in eastern Turkey, 66 hours after a devastating earthquake that killed at least 459 people, TV reports said.
Gözde Bahar was a teacher in Ercis town in Van province, worst hit by Sunday's quake, the reports said. "She was our tenant. They pulled her out an hour ago," Akif Göltaş, another quake survivor, told AFP, after Nehar was rushed to hospital in Erciş.

The report said the woman told rescuers she was thirsty and asked about her husband who had died.
