Haitian Survivor Rescued 2 Weeks After Quake

Haitian Man Pulled From Rubble Two Weeks After Quake



A man was pulled from rubble in Haiti's capital on Tuesday, two weeks after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake leveled much of the city, officials said.

Ricot Duprevil, 31, was in stable condition at a medical facility where he was being treated for a broken leg, medical and rescue officials told CNN. Duprevil had access to water while he was trapped, the officials said.

The man was discovered by the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division's Delta Company. Troops with the company said they were conducting a rubble-clearing mission in downtown Port-au-Prince when they spotted movement amidst the crushed concrete.

The Haitian government announced late last week that it was switching rescue efforts to recovery operations even as others were found alive.
