Little Aisha lived with her parents and brother in a six-story building in the city of Kahramanmaras. When the earthquake hit the area, the building collapsed and the family was trapped under the rubble.
All are alive. The mother managed to send a group message through social networks and call for help. After that, a large number of people rushed to the ruins to help the family.
The mother, father and son were rescued early in the morning, but it was not easy to reach the girl Aisha. The parents were able to talk to her, and at one point she told them she was fine.

Seven hours later, the little girl was pulled from the rubble. They put her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital. According to local media, she held tightly to her father's hand the entire time she was being carried into the ambulance.
"We dug with our own hands to get the mother, father and son out." We did the same for little Aisha. We managed to dig her out. As soon as I heard what happened, we got into the car and rushed here," said a colleague of Ayesha's mother.
