Quake victim pulled out of rubble after four days
Rescuers found a man buried under a mountain of rubble yesterday, more than four days after a devastating earthquake hit Indonesia's Sumatra region, as aid finally reached thousands of homeless and hungry victims on remote islands still reeling from the December tsunami disaster.

Singaporean and Indonesian rescue teams scrambled to extract the man from under a partially destroyed three-story house on Nias Island after hearing his cries for help.

"The man was saying `help, help, give me water,'" said Indonesian army marine officer Satria, who uses only one name.
