‘Save me, I will be your servant’: Under rubble for 17 hrs, 7-yr-old Syrian girl saves brother - WATCH

Ankara: “Pull me out and I will do whatever you want. I will be your servant,” cried out a seven-year-old girl wriggling under rubble, as she shielded her brother’s head in Syria. The country was hit alongside Turkey by a 7.8 magnitude temblor on Monday. Heart-wrenching images and videos are surfacing from earthquake-hit Turkey and Syria where death toll surpasses 9,500. Rescue teams battle biting cold and race against time to save those trapped under the debris. ‘Will do whatever you want’ The video shows the girl protecting her sibling’s head under the rubble for around 17 hours with her hand. When the rescue team found the siblings, she smiled at them. Sharing the clip, a user on Twitter wrote what the girl was saying in her local language. “Pull me out and I will do whatever you want. I will be your servant,” the girl allegedly said.

She stayed protecting her brother's head under the rubble for 17 hours and received the rescue with a smile.
