An extraordinary rescue has emerged from the devastation left by a powerful earthquake in eastern Indonesia, after an 84-year-old woman was found alive beneath the ruins of her home three days after the disaster. Paulina Pobi, who lived in Nitunglea village on Flores, was trapped beneath the collapsed bamboo walls of her house after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck on 15 August.

A landslide triggered by the quake had blocked access to the village where Paulina Pobi had lived, leaving her buried under the collapsed remains

Authorities say she is in good health and there are no injuries
