BAM, Iran - Iranian rescue workers pulled a woman in her 90s out of the rubble Saturday, nine days after an earthquake razed this city. U.N. officials warned many other survivors were suffering psychological disorder after the deaths of their loved ones and the destruction of their homes.

"No one expected her to be alive. It's a miracle," provincial government spokesman Asadollah Iranmanesh told The Associated Press. Iranmanesh had not seen the woman, but he said she emerged able to talk.

The official Iranian news agency quoted the Red Crescent Society as identifying the woman as Sharbanou Mazandarani, 97. Iranmanesh said she was believed to be between 90 and 100 years old.
