The Syrian man, who came out of the wreckage by saying "Allah is Greater" and walking, was taken to Hatay Field Hospital by the search and rescue teams.
This comes as another pleasing news among the ones coming from Hatay, which is one of the provinces most affected by earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş.
The 42-year-old man named Habib, who was under the rubble for hours in the central district of Antakya, was rescued by 911 Search and Rescue teams.
Syrian Habib, who came out of the rubble on foot accompanied by takbirs, was taken to the Hatay Field Hospital after first aid was given by the medical teams.
Head of 911 Search and Rescue teams, Mustafa Gürsoy, said, "We were tired, we were exhausted, we were going to rest, but we got confirmation by listening to a voice with a notice from social media. We did not lose our hope."
"There are also people who lost their lives. May God grant them paradise," he added.
