Rescuers pull newborn baby alive from rubble in northern Syria, after finding her still tied by her umbilical cord to her mother, who died in massive quakes that hit Türkiye and Syria; infant is sole survivor of her immediate family
The infant is the sole survivor of her immediate family, the rest of whom were all killed when a powerful quake in Syria and Türkiye flattened the family home in the opposition-held town of Jindayris.
A second man runs towards the first carrying a blanket to try to warm the newborn in the sub-zero temperatures while a third screams for a car to take her to hospital. The family home was one of around 50 in Jindayris that were flattened by the quake, an AFP correspondent reported. "She also arrived with hypothermia because of the harsh cold. We had to warm her up and administer calcium."
