The giant earth quake which struck in the middle of the night on Wednesday, had rescuers working round the clock in a desperate bid to find survivors. Chief firefighter Danilo Dionesei confirmed that a 10 year old girl was pulled alive from the rubble after being trapped for 17 hours in the 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.
One rescuer could be heard saying:
'You can hear something under here. Quiet, quiet.' He then urged the child to wriggle free one rescue worker said: 'Come on, Giulia, come on, Giulia. ... Watch your head.'
