Miraculous survivor: Naqsha Bibi is lucky to be
alive. This 40-year-old woman was remarkably found alive in the ruins of her
house near Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, on December
10, 2005 63 days after she was buried in the October 8 Kashmir earthquake.
It is believed that she was buried in the ruins of her kitchen. At the time
of her rescue she weighed less than 35 kilograms, less than half the average
weight of a woman of her build, and her muscles were frozen in a foetal
position. However, she is expected to
recover.
