The Turkish gendarmerie published a video clip on its Twitter account documenting the moments of saving a child with her father in the southern city of Gaziantep, 132 hours after the earthquake. The first request of the 5-year-old Shengul from the paramedics inside the ambulance was to bring her a lot of cola.
Turkish Health Minister Fakhruddin Koca commented in a tweet on the funny dialogue that took place between the child and the paramedic, "She gave life a kiss and asked for cola."
132. SAATTE 5 yaşındaki kızımız Şengül'e ve babasına kavuştuk.
Gaziantep İslahiye'de enkaz altından çıkarılan kızımız hayata bir öpücük verdikten sonra kola istedi.

The following is part of the conversation that took place between the child and the paramedic:
Paramedic: What do you want us to get you?
Girl: Yellow cola.
Paramedic: Well, let's get Chingul a Coke, please.
Girl: I want a large amount of it.
Paramedic: How are you going to drink so much cola?
Girl: I will drink it.
Paramedic: You say you're going to drink it, okay, but are you going to do that on the plane or when you land?
Girl: On the plane.
Medic: Well, I wrote your name on the plane now.
Mucizenin adı Şengül…
5 yaşındaki Şengül kızımızı ve babasını yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda 132'nci saatte enkaz altından çıkararak sağlık ekiplerine teslim ettik.
