A baby was pulled from the rubble of what was meant to be her home in Syria, just minutes after being born. It was a harrowing moment!
From the footage circulating on social media, we can easily see that the girl being carried to safety by a rescuer in Jenderes, in a northeastern region devastated by Monday’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake.
It is thought that the newborn’s mother di*d after giving birth. The rest of her family is also said to have per*shed.
The local media reported that the pregnant mother – displaced from Syria’s eastern Deir Ezzor region – went into labour during the quake which has k_illed thousands across Turkey and Syria. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 23 million people – including 1.4 million children – could be affected.
In the video, another man races after the rescuer with a dusty blanket in hand, then hands it over to keep her warm.
As per the comments on the video, it was filmed in a rural areas near the city of Aleppo, which was severely affected by the earthquake that struck both Syria and Turkey.
