Rescue workers miraculously pulled four Jewish children from the ruins of Agadir today, almost ten days after the city was destroyed by an earthquake that killed over 12,000 persons.

The Jewish children were given immediate medical attention. They are Alice Kalfon, 16; Jacqueline Kalfon, 15; Armand Kalfon, 6; and Cadiz Gonzales, 13. The four Jewish children were among eight survivors rescued today. The rest were Moslem.
