Alive, five-year-old Elvina, was pulled out from under a collapsed house

Tuesday, December 20, 2016

It was a terrifying experience for Elvina, 5 of Mongga Community on Guadalcanal. 

As a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck, her father woke up, grabbed the youngest child, and woke his wife and children. 

They rushed out, thinking all family members were outside.

As they watched their house collapse to the ground they heard Elvina calling out to her father.

Family members quickly pulled aside remants of the house to reach, Elvina, who was under the collapsed structure.
