#NBCNews #Earthquake #Turkey
Miracles are wonderful ❤️🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦thank you Jesus
Allahhu-Akbar
Hallelujah!!! 🙏💜🙌🇺🇸 ☪
How did she drink? 10 days in the dark though…that is some strength.
She didnt tho. She says herself and the docs are shocked bcs she had nothing to drink or eat for 11 days..
Prayers everyday 💚
So grateful she was found❤
Praise the Lord
I’m annoyed that her water source wasn’t mentioned or how she survived…but glad she is ok.
Poor reporting on a wonderful outcome.
Someone said that the news reported she had no water whatsoever and that her lips ripped from the dryness
She had no water or food tho. Even doctors said that and they were amazed by that. However her lips were almost ripped bcs of water loss. Also the cold weather played a huge role so she didnt need water.
Bless all of Turkey, and it’s people 🙏.
Listen for them are still there listen bless all
What a miracle! Thabk you Father 🙌
I thought people can’t survive without water after 3 days? How was she alive after 10 days?
Truly this is a miracle ❤️
Mind over matter. Such a strong child !
I seriously doubt that
Hi
Thank you lord for each soul rescued
Thank you Jesus for this miracle
Her name is aleyna ölmez. Ölmez means the one who does not die. She held on to life like her surname. I wish her a fast recovery
That’s really nice
I hope they can make a full recovery!
“Try to pass the time” imagine being down there all day not even knowing whether a day has passed or not. You have to somehow wheel yourself forward in such an impossible situation
Omg! Poor soul. Thank goodness the rescuers have carried on. They are heroes.
Please keep searching that still people out there don’t ever give up
Miracles… yessssssss!
That’s incredible.
Where is the news about George Santos?
Miracles do happen
Now that is a miracle 🙌
Thank God🙏🏽💓
Our survival is in unity. 🌟 Now it is very important to be kind and help each other. We also have the opportunity to build a peaceful and safe *Creative* *Society,* where human life is the highest value, so everything will be done to save, secure and improve it. Search more about the *Creative* *Society* 🌟
I’m just thinking- how did they get an IV so quick when so dehydrated… Intraosseous ..
Prayers. Love hugs
We are all praying in every language possible for your communities. I am following this everyday from New Mexico. I can’t get you all off my mind. We are keeping you in our hearts.
Jesus did that! He saved the girl!!!
Thanks
My goodness!! Thank God for the rescuers and the resilience of this teenager. Some good news amongst the tragedy.
I’m so sadden for the grandmother 😔 I hope she is reunited with her grandbaby soon and I’m glad that young lady was able to stay strong and survive
I always in awe of how people can have such sadness and stress and never shed any tears. I would be a mess .
Amazing
Praise God
10 days???!!!🫢😱🥹. That is one tough kid. Well done too all
Miraculous!!!
10 days with no water is impressive
I am still praying for others. My heart is ripped for those who didn’t make it and their family and friends.
Oh God I don’t know how to say thank you all rescue team ❤you are true heroes🙏💜🙏💜its a miracle 🌺
All praise goes out the the Lord Jesus Christ
Oh my gosh, HALLELUJAH!!!!

Thank u for all rescuers👍🙏🙏
Thank you, Lord, for survivors still being rescued and rescuers enduring in their efforts. 🙌🏾
Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah
The real miracle would have been if this hadn’t happened in the first place
God is good 🫶🏽
Heaven forbid death and destruction and life is alive 🙏🙏🙏 and waiting to be freed!!!
It’s a miracle! 🙏
God repents Sin and blesses miracles! I pray for many more survivors and miracles to come for many more families, even though it has been nearly two weeks. Lord bless them all Amen 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Elena! Elena! Elena! YEAH PRAISE GOD
cant say how sorry i am for all the people that died from this earthquake and for their families
Truly all miracles, God is good!! 🙏 amazing stories 😔
Amazing girl, I’m glad she is OK. Sadly, my heart breaks daily for those who have been lost and have yet to be found.
How can anyone survive that long without water? Not possible
Amazingly clean wow. Not even squinting from being in the dark for days. No food or water for 11 days AMAZING
A good thing they don’t live with dogs and cats because she would have been eaten alive by day four.
11 days without water or food and certainly stuck in a very painful position trapped in rubble. I couldn’t imagine how terrible that must have been. Amazing she survived.
This is so awesome my heart still goes out to those who wasn’t so fortunate.
Wow🙏🏻
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤👌. Thank you life savers.
This is a Miracle! Woow
Praise GOD!!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Amen!
How about a story on how US sanctions on Syria are killing people. How the US wants a regime change. How people want to help Syrians but are blocked by Biden.
Please do not pray to God because Americans don’t have one.
Believe in miracles
Please find her..
How can we get donations to these ppl
I hope they heal from that trauma. I’ve been stuck in a room for an hours, not knowing how to get out. I needed weeks to recover from that. Those survivors are heros. And the dead are the stars that shine upon them. May those countries be blessed with healing and comfort. This is too hard to bear.
Hallelujah God is Great! This is a miracle from our Lord Jesus Christ Amen 🙏😇👍!
Miracle from God!!!
The world loves you girl. We all love you. Your miracle gives us hope
O my god!!! God bless rescuers and pray for Elena.
Wow wow good brother and sister Good Family First good Turkeys and sorry okay Family First
These poor people. May God give the living comfort!!!! So many dead. R.i.P.
Joy for one more found alive!!!
Absolutely incredible that she survived so long & was rescued. The human body & will are incredible. And so glad she has surviving family to celebrate & help her recover physically & mentally.
Amazing
Miracles happen ❤️🙏🏼🇲🇽✌🏼
Praise the Lord 🙏
And just think. One of their leaders wanted search and rescue to stop !!!!! I’m so glad they’d hadn’t ! But knew they wouldn’t !!! I would not have either !!!
I will help ❤️🎩
God please help them like you did with me, after I had a brain operation
I love you God❤️
Where was God?
Gloria a Dios 🙏
Keep looking for these victims!! They are still alive under the rubble!! We continue praying for all of them to be rescued 🙏 🤲
If you can’t be thankful for the last ten days of your life after this, you are a rotten person.
The Gramma crying is almost unbearable to me I can’t even imagine how unbearable it is to her… please universe let her grandchild be found alive
🤭🤭 hat’s off to rescue team
11 whole days under rubble.
dirt…glass…really?????
Is it just me or do these people who were dug out of the rubble…look pretty clean?
Is this in order to keep the story in the news to sucker us out of more aid?
wait but i thought humans could only survive without water for around 3 days?? so how did she survive for 11 days without water?
