As search and rescue efforts continued on the buildings destroyed in Bayraklı district, a miracle occurred 33 hours after the earthquake. After the earthquake, the Bursa National Medical Rescue Team (UMKE), working with heart and soul in Izmir, pulled 70-year-old Ahmet Çitim alive from the rubble.
‘At that time, we did not lose our professionalism, but we lost our happiness’
Bursa UMKE team leader Ali Faruk Balkan said: “Right after the earthquake, a total of 18 people arrived in Izmir with 3 vehicles. After arriving, we started working with coordinator friends and the rubble team from the First night, we had a patient who lost.
Later, AFAD and we rescued Uncle Ahmet, who made us happy after 33 hours. At 00:30 we pulled it out of the rubble. November 1 is my birthday, it was a birthday surprise for me. We did it with the dedicated work of our friends. It was moral for us. I didn’t know your uncle was alive when he came up the stairs. We went to the guy and found that he was breathing upside down with his movements and speaking.
When we went to her room for the first time, she wasn’t talking, she was just moving. After opening it a bit more, the uncle’s face opened and he began to speak. We did not lose our professionalism at the time, but we lost ourselves with joy. We also do serum applications and standard applications. Uncle’s consciousness opened.
We take it with the teams. We transfer you to the ambulance and provide your transportation. I would like to thank the search and rescue teams and other organizations that are constantly working on the wreckage. “If it continues like this, we will save more lives.”
