A 10-year-old girl who spent 16 hours in the rubble of her quake-hit house in the Marche town of Pescara del Tronto was successfully operated on in Ascoli Piceno hospital Thursday.
Fire teams got to Georgia at about eight o'clock last night after locating her room in the ruins.
Her sister, who was lying next to her, did not make it.
Pescara del Tronto was destroyed by the 6.2-magnitude quake that
hit mountain towns between Lazio, Umbria and Marche early
Wednesday. Two other towns, Amatrice and Accumoli, were also
reduced to rubble.
