ERCIS, Turkey (AP) ? A relative says a 13-year-old boy used a rock in a desperate attempt to dig a hole and free himself from the rubble of a collapsed building following a massive earthquake that killed at least 550 people.
Rescuers pulled Ferhat Tokay out of the debris of a building early Friday, five days after a massive earthquake leveled many buildings in eastern Turkey.
The boy's uncle told NTV television Tokay was caught inside a shoe shop where he worked.
He placed shoes under his head and used them as a pillow to sleep at night.
Earlier reports said the boy was injured but the uncle, Sahin Tokay, said he had "not even a scratch."
The quake that hit Sunday has injured some 2,300 others and left thousands homeless.
