A couple of hours ago a woman was rescued from the Bangladesh factory that collapsed on April 24.

It's nothing short of miraculous that woman, named Reshma, was found "almost unhurt" as the death toll from the tragedy reached 1,038.

It's been 13 days since someone was rescued from the rubble. In all more than 2,500 people have been rescue, and rescuers say they are still recovering bodies.

"I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days," Reshma told The Associated Press. "I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention."

She said she survived in the nine-story factory's basement by eating dried food and bottled water that was scattered around her.

Reshma was taken to a military hospital in remarkably good shape given the circumstances — the official who spotted her said that she could even walk.

Here is a few more pictures of the rescue followed by a photo of the collapse.
