Two brothers were among at least seven people miraculously rescued from quake rubble in Turkey on Tuesday — nearly 200 hours after massive tremors rocked the region, killing more than 37,000 people.

One of the siblings survived by drinking protein powder, while another survivor said he was playing video games when his building came down.

Hopeful rescue workers added that they can still hear the voices of other survivors stuck under collapsed buildings eight days after the disaster devastated Turkey and Syria.

Workers heard siblings Muhammed Enes Yeninar, 17, and Baki Yeninar, 21, from the ruins of an apartment building in Kahramanmaras — where the quakes were centered — and dug them out, according to the Andalou news agency.

Baki told rescuers that he survived by drinking nearby protein powder.
