Scores of bodies continue to be pulled from the rubble of Algeria's earthquake as rescuers race against time to find remaining survivors. Among the reported successes was the rescue of a two-and-half-year-old girl, pulled alive from the remains of a collapsed building. The discovery - reported by state radio - gave hope to those combing the rubble as international rescuers and aid workers stepped up their efforts, sending specially trained dogs and listening devices. More than 1,600 people are thought to have been killed by Wednesday's quake, while more than 7,000 have been injured. The rescue of the baby in Boumerdes, near Algiers and the worst hit area of the country, took place 36 hours after the tremor hit. Pulled out of the ruins of a five-storey building wearing just a torn orange T-shirt, the girl was given oxygen and taken away for treatment. The girl's father told reporters rescue workers had initially thought they would have to amputate the girl's arm to pull her free. **National mourning *** Hundreds or even thousands may still be trapped under collapsed buildings. Algeria has begun three days of national mourning, but there will be no pause in the rescue effort. Dozens of military planes have been flying to Algiers airport, some with medical and rescue teams from France, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, the UK and Italy. The Red Cross and Red Crescent made a short-term appeal for 2 million Swiss francs (nearly £1m) to provide food, blankets and medicines. A specially chartered flight left Stansted airport in Britain on Friday carrying representatives from the International Rescue Corps and other British charities who will help search for survivors. Russian doctors and rescuers - including two with sniffer dogs - are on their way from Moscow, while Germany is providing 25 rescuers and the UK nearly 100. Overnight, powerful after-shocks hitting Algiers and surrounding areas convinced many people to spend their second night in parks and open spaces. But fear and grief is turning to anger at shoddy building standards of modern-day Algeria. "The realtors are all crooks. If you see the buildings that date to the French colonial period, some of them are 150 years old - they didn't budge," a taxi driver told the AFP news agency. In Reghaia, 35km (22 miles) east of Algiers, authorities requisitioned the municipal stadium, setting up tents for families whose houses were destroyed in the earthquake. Food and water supplies are said to be running low and power and phone lines to the worst-hit areas remain cut. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Rescued two-and-half-year-old girl, pulled alive from the remains of a collapsed building.
