Two men were pulled alive from the rubble of a collapsed Cambodian building on Monday, more than two days after a construction site accident that left at least 28 dead.
Hopes that more survivors would be found under the debris had all but faded, but against the odds two people were cut free from the tangled wreckage and carried out alive.
"I heard the sound of rescuers, I called for help but they didn't hear me," Ros Sitha, one of the two found alive on Monday, told AFP.
"There was a dead body near me. I didn't have water to drink," the forty-one year old said from his hospital bed.
"I am so lucky to survive."
"We have been concerned for a long time about the quality of these Chinese buildings."
