By Afp, Islamabad
A Pakistani woman in her 40s was rescued from the rubble of her Kashmir home yesterday two months after being buried there in a devastating earthquake, a television report said.

"A woman has been brought to hospital in Muzaffarabad today who remained buried under the rubble of her home since the October 8 earthquake," doctor Hafeez, who only gave his first name, told the private GEO television.

"She is unconscious and kept in the intensive care unit and we hope that she will survive, Inshallah," Hafeez said.

"She had been fighting with death in a dark cavity under the rubble. It is a miracle," the doctor said.
