Samer Al-Omar, one of the rescuers, said in an interview with Al-Jazeera Net, "After losing hope, and living many hours of terror because none of those trapped under the rubble left, a family including a man, his wife and 3 of his children was taken out."
And about how he felt at the moment of saving civilians, Al-Omar said, "We are crying with joy, after we were crying from helplessness. We gave them oxygen after they almost suffocated due to the earthquake, and now they are in hospitals and are in good health."
