The remarkable recovery of Syria’s earthquake baby

On 6 February, a devastating earthquake ripped through south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria, killing more than 44,000 people. Just after the devastating quake hit Jindayris, Afraa’s mother went into labour and gave birth under the rubble of her home. She died before rescuers found them. Baby Afraa was the only member of her immediate family to survive – her father, Abu Rudaina, and her four siblings died, along with her mother.
