Rescuers find boy, 90-yr-old woman as time runs out

"They have asked for surgeons for an amputation," he said. The boy’s brother was already dead and his mother died beside him soon after rescuers arrived.

Earlier, soldiers in Bhuj dug Champa ben Seth, 90, out of the rubble. She had survived because her head was protected by an old sewing machine. She had been calling out and Sikh soldiers used their hands and crowbars to dig her out.

As she emerged, asking for water, she said that she had heard the voices of two more people alive under the rubble.
