This is the dramatic moment a ten-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble after spending 17 hours trapped upside down in debris from the Italian earthquake.The child was hauled to safety by rescuers who shouted ‘she’s alive’ as they carried her from the ruins of a building in the devastated central Italian town of Pescara del Tronto.Footage shows just the dust-covered legs of the youngster as emergency crews tried desperately to free her from the rubble.It was a brief moment of joy on a day in which at least 250 people were killed in the region following a 6.2-magnitude quake in the early hours of the morning.She had spent about 17 hours wedged in a collapsed building in what was once a picturesque hamlet. The frantic search for survivors of the Italian earthquake was continuing tonight as witnesses likened the hellish scenes to ‘Dante’s inferno’ – and shocking pictures showed how four towns were almost wiped off the map. - See more at:
