Teenager pulled alive from building collapse

16-year-old boy was pulled alive from ruins of Istanbul building two days after deadly collapse. On Wednesday afternoon, an eight-storied apartment block was collapsed in the city’s Kartal district. Officials say the official death toll has risen to 14.

The interior minister Suleyman Soylu said at least 11 more people were still missing in the collapsed eight-storey building. The boy who had been pulled out by the rescuers was suddenly taken to the hospital, but no further updates are got from the hospital.

As investigations into the collapse continued, several neighboring buildings of this collapsed site was evacuated on Thursday due to security reasons. The officials says that some part of the collapsed building were built illegally. They said that the top three floors were not built according to legal terms. The textile workshop inside the building was also running without a valid licence.
