The newborn girl's umbilical cord was still connected to her mother, who appears to have given birth to her while buried underneath the rubble from this week's devastating earthquake. The baby was the only member of her family to survive.
JINDERIS, Syria — Residents digging through a collapsed building in a northwest Syrian town discovered a crying infant whose mother appears to have given birth to her while buried underneath the rubble from this week's devastating earthquake, relatives and a doctor said Tuesday.
Video of the rescue circulating on social media shows the moments after the baby was removed from the rubble, as a man lifts her up, her umbilical cord still dangling, and rushes away as another man throws him a blanket to wrap her in. Maarouf said the baby weighed 3.175 kilograms , an average weight for a newborn, and so was carried nearly to term."Our only concern is the bruise on her back, and we have to see whether there is any problem with her spinal cord," he said, saying she has been moving her legs and arms normally.
On Tuesday, Abu Hadiya and the girl's father Abdullah Turki Mleihan, along with their four other children were laid to rest in a cemetery on the outskirts of Jinderis.
