A French rescue team pulled another survivor from earthquake rubble in Port-au-Prince yesterday.

The teenage girl, Darlene Etienne, survived 15 days in an open pocket in a collapsed concrete bathroom on the College St. Gerard campus she had recently begun attending.

According to reports, relatives heard her voice and notified the aid team. She was very weak, dehydrated and had a leg injury but said, “Thank you” to her rescuers, BBC reported. She was immediately rushed to a hospital and is expected to survive. She managed to stay alive by drinking bath water said BBC.
