The Special Emergency and Immediate Response Unit of the Community of Madrid (ERICAM), together with Turkish rescuers, have located alive after six days a woman trapped under the rubble of a building after the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
As reported by Emergencias 112 Comunidad de Madrid to Europa Press, the rescue of the 50-year-old woman has been very complicated, although she is stable and is being treated by medical staff after spending six days trapped in the ruins of a building.
The Community of Madrid activated ERICAM after the earthquake, which left for Turkey on Monday afternoon with a group of 40 personnel made up of firefighters from the Community of Madrid, SUMMA 112 and the Spanish School of Rescue and Detection with Dogs, in order to collaborate in the rescue work.
The death toll from the earthquake of magnitude 7.4 on the Richter scale registered on Monday in southern Turkey, near the Syrian border, has risen to almost 39,000 according to data provided by the authorities of both countries and the ‘white helmets’.
