Turkey Quake: Mother, New-Born Recovered From Rubble

A newborn baby and his mother have been rescued from rubble in Turkey, around 90 hours after the first of Monday’s deadly earthquakes.

The 10-day-old boy, named Yagiz, was retrieved from a ruined structure in the southern Hatay province.

Footage showed the child being carefully taken out overnight – a sight described by local media as miraculous.

Hopes of finding many more survivors are diminishing, amid freezing-cold weather four days after the disaster.

However, search and rescue efforts continue in both Turkey and neighboring Syria – which was struck by the quakes as well. 

New-born Yagiz was pictured wrapped in a thermal blanket being carried to an ambulance to receive treatment.

His mother was brought out on a stretcher. There were no further updates immediately available over the health of both.
