A man has been pulled out alive from the rubble of a building in Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince, according to CNN.
He might have been trapped since the Jan. 12 quake that leveled much of the city.
The emaciated 28-year-old man was found in the wreckage of a market where he sold rice, his family told staff at a University of Miami field hospital.
He has suffered from extreme dehydration and malnutrition; but, did not appear to have significant crushing injuries, CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported.
The man told doctors someone was bringing him water while he was trapped. Doctors also said he sounded confused and appeared to believe he still was trapped under the rubble.
