"We saw some chairs and wooden tables. The next thing we saw was a leg, and then we started to move rubble and we found a girl and two adults - a woman and a man," he said."We can hear small noises, but we don't know if they're coming from above or below, from the walls above (crumbling), or someone below calling for help."
