Another amazing rescue was performed Wednesday in Haiti. A 16-year-old teenager was found alive from the rubble in Haiti after 15 days after her bathroom collapsed around her during the earthquake.
French rescuers said that one of the teen's legs may be broken, and she was taken by helicopter to a French medical ship. It took 45-minutes to rescue her from the rubble. Her name was not released, but rescuers said she was severely dehydrated and had a weak blood pressure. She had access to some water in the bathroom. See the video below for the story.

An eye doctor from Utah, Dr. Branson Call returned Monday from Haiti after an annual trip to help the people of Haiti. Dr. Call was in Haiti when the earthquake struck and amazingly survived, even though 30 medical students in the building next door all died. For several days he was unable to contact his family or friends because there wasn’t phone service or internet. His family wasn’t even sure he was alive. He spent several days trying to help the wounded before getting onto a plane to the Dominic Republic and contacting his family, according to ABC 4.
The Salt Lake City based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has responded and said that no missionaries from the US are in Haiti, but that an immediate relief project has begun to provide aid. In Haiti, the Caribbean Area Presidency of the LDS Church also provided immediate relief to the people there. To donate to the LDS Church aid for Haiti, go to LDS.org.
