ROC Rescue Team Rescues an 18-year-old Male 震後198小時 我搜救隊聯手救出1男子

198 hours after the Turkey-Syria earthquake hit, a miracle emerges amidst the aftermath. The R.O.C. Rescue Team along with the Turkish rescue team, together found and saved an 18-year-old male onsite. Meanwhile, the Taiwan Rescue and Search Team has completed its mission and went back to Taiwan on Feb. 15.

198 hours after the Turkey-Syria earthquake, the surrounding crowds witnessed yet another miracle underneath the debris.

An NGO, the R.O.C. Rescue Team, jointly with the local Turkish field engineers and miners, pulled out an 18-year-old male trapped under the debris after four hours of hard work in removing obstacles.

Members of the R.O.C. Rescue Team are all dressed in red and are mostly volunteers. They departed for Turkey on Feb. 8 for their rescue mission. Meanwhile, the official governmental Taiwan Rescue and Search Team, in cooperation with the local disaster area conditions, completed its 96-hour mission and prepared to take returning flight back to Taiwan.

As the 130 people and five rescue dogs all arrived at the Istanbul International Airport, loud applause resounded to thank their efforts.

Taiwan Rescue Personnel (Feb. 10): “We still remember that. And we still can see this story telling people, 20 years ago the Turkish people helped us, for this time... (Now this time for your turn.)”

As the mission comes to its end at this stage, the official Taiwan Rescue and Search Team took the early morning EVA Airlines flight back to Taiwan. 

圍觀的眾人屏息以待，因為土敘強震發生198個小時以後，在瓦礫碎石堆下，還有奇蹟。

民間非政府組織中華民國搜救總隊，在和當地工兵、礦工隊的合作下，歷經4個小時排除障礙，終於讓受困在瓦礫堆下的18歲男子，重見天日。

身穿紅色制服的中華搜救總隊，成員都以志工為主，8日前往土耳其執行任務；而另外一頭隸屬官方的台灣搜救隊，配合災區情況，結束96小時的任務，準備搭機回台。

130人、5隻搜救犬，全數抵達伊斯坦堡國際機場，機場響起如雷掌聲，感謝救災人員的付出。

台灣搜救隊人員說道：「我們還記得這件事，這個故事大家都知道，20年前土耳其人民幫助我們，現在換我們來幫忙我們的朋友。」

任務告一段落，台灣搜救隊今日凌晨搭乘長榮班機返回台灣，預計在下午返抵國門。
