Rescuers pulled a 22-year-old man from the ruins of a building in Haiti's capital Friday, 10 days after an earthquake devastated the city, a statement from an Israeli military team said.
The man was transferred to an Israeli Defense Force field hospital in Haiti after being saved from the three-story structure near the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince and was in a stable condition, the statement said.
The search team was led to the trapped man's location by local residents, said the statement carried on the website of the Israeli Defense Force spokesperson. "American and French doctors were unable to rescue the trapped man and called upon the Israeli delegation's search and rescue teams who rescued the man within half an hour, from a tunnel, 2.5-3 meters long and were able to release him whole and healthy," rescue team member Major Zohar Moshe was quoted as saying.
