Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A 24-year-old man was rescued from the rubble 11 days after a powerful earthquake struck Haiti.
CNN's Hala Gorani, reporting from Port-au-Prince, said the man was sped away from the Hotel Napoli in an ambulance as bystanders broke out in spontaneous applause.
"One man told me, if this young man comes out alive, this will be an absolute miracle," she said.
The rescue workers, assisted by Greek and American workers, initially used their hands to move debris before putting heavier machinery to use.
The man's brothers said they reported hearing tapping from within the ruins of the hotel for several days but struggled to get authorities to the scene. A Greek journalist said he alerted Greek rescue workers after hearing the tapping.
Earlier Saturday, the government announced that it has ended the search-and-rescue phase of its response to the disaster and that more than 111,000 people had died in the quake and its aftermath.
The government's figure, released by the United Nations late Friday, is the first precise death toll for the magnitude 7.0 quake that struck on January 12. It said 111,481 people were confirmed dead.
It is the worst death toll from an earthquake since the 2004 Asian tsunami and the second-highest death toll from an earthquake in more than three decades, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Some 609,000 people have also been left homeless in and around the capital of Port-au-Prince, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.
