BBC reported that a search and rescue team from Northern Ireland has been instrumental in the rescue of a woman in Turkey’s earthquake disaster.

Melike Imamoglu, 42, was pulled from the rubble by rescuers in the town of Kahramanmaras on Wednesday.

Kyle Murray from K9 Search & Rescue NI said search dog Delta had indicated at the site she was found alive.

An indication is when a search dog signals that they have detected a specific scent.

More than 41,000 people have died in Turkey and neighboring Syria after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
