4 Children Rescued From Rubble of Haiti School
Rescuers pull 4 children alive from rubble of Haiti school; death toll hits 88
Rescuers pulled four children alive Saturday from the rubble of a three-story Haitian school that collapsed on classrooms filled with students and teachers, killing at least 88 people.
Emergency workers cradled the dazed children in their arms and rushed them to ambulances, U.N. police spokesman Andre Leclerc said. The extent of the injuries to the two girls, ages 3 and 5, and two boys, a 7-year-old and a teenager, was not known, Leclerc said. But he added the 3-year-old had a cut on her head and seemed to be OK.
“She was talking and drinking juice,” Leclerc said.
Search teams from the United States and France on Saturday joined the hunt for survivors in the remains of the College La Promesse in suburban Port-au-Prince, which tumbled to the ground a day earlier, crushing two homes behind it.
