New Delhi/IBNS: The Indian National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) Thursday rescued a six-year-old girl who was brought out to safety from the rubble of a collapsed building in Turkey.


She was wrapped in a blanket with her neck firmly secured with a support device as a doctor checked her condition.

People in yellow helmets carried her on a stretcher gently.

The National Disaster Response Force was deployed in Turkey where large parts of the country have been devastated by a series of strong earthquakes.

"Standing with Turkey in this natural calamity. India's NDRF is carrying out rescue and relief operations at ground zero. Team IND-11 successfully retrieved a 6-year-old girl from Nurdagi, Gaziantep today," the Home Ministry spokesperson tweeted with the hashtag "Operation Dost".

The Home Ministry, headed by Amit Shah, is the parent department of the NDRF, an organisation with vast experience in helping out with rescue and relief work.

"Proud of our NDRF. In the rescue operations in Turkey, Team IND-11 saved the life of a six-year-old girl, Beren, in Gaziantep city. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are committed to making the NDRF the world's leading disaster response force," Mr Shah tweeted.

On Wednesday, a team of 51 NDRF personnel left for Turkey to join two teams already deployed there, NDRF Director General Atul Karwal said.

Meanwhile, the toll in the Turkey-Syria earthquake has surpassed 17,500 people, making the calamity one of the deadliest in decades.

Bitter cold hampered the four-day search of thousands of flattened buildings raising alarm that the 72-hour mark that experts consider the most likely period to save lives has passed.

Turkey's disaster management agency, AFAD, said 12,391 people were killed and 62,914 others were injured in Monday’s quakes centered in Kahramanmaras province.

Other provinces in southern and eastern Turkey that were affected by the quakes are Gaziantep, Hatay, Osmaniye, Adiyaman, Malatya, Sanliurfa, Adana, Diyarbakir and Kilis.

More than 6,000 buildings collapsed due to the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude quakes that occurred in the space of less than 10 hours.
