Man rescued after 80 hours
Published: October 12, 2005
Rain, which brought misery to victims of Pakistan’s earthquake, saved the life of an elderly man rescued alive from the rubble after 80 hours, a rescuer said on Wednesday.
The man, in his 70s, survived by drinking rain water that seeped through into the debris of a three-storey building in which he was trapped, said a member of a British team that pulled him out late Tuesday in Muzaffarabad.
“He was very weak but otherwise ok. He said he had survived by drinking rainwater,” said Stef Hopkins, leader of voluntary group Search and Rescue Assistance in Disasters, told AFP.
