British rescue workers have pulled a two-year-old girl from the rubble of a nursery school that collapsed in the earthquake in Haiti, the development aid ministry said in London Saturday, DPA reported.
The child spent three days buried in the rubble of the building in the capital Port-au-Prince before she was freed Friday. Her rescuers were from a team of 64 British troops deployed to the Caribbean nation.
Meanwhile, an aid flight was en route from London to the Caribbean Saturday.
The Boeing 747 was carrying 10 tons of humanitarian supplies and would load a further 40 tons of supplies from UN children's fund UNICEF during a stopover in Denmark, a spokesman for British Airways said.
The seats onboard the aircraft were removed to make space for the urgently needed aid cargo.
