Turkish rescue crews have managed to pull two people alive from the rubble 11 days after a devastating earthquake in an operation one family member is describing as a “true miracle.” 

Osman Halebiye, 14, and Mustafa Avci, 34, were found overnight in Antakya around 260 hours after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, according to Reuters.
