This week's catastrophic earthquake in Turkey and Syria has resulted in a massive trail of destruction, with tens of thousands confirmed dead. Yet amidst the ruins, there have been a few miraculous rescues of children and infants. One such miracle includes a two-month-old baby who was pulled out from the rubble after being trapped for nearly 128 hours in Antakya, Turkey. The baby was immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention after being rescued.
Social media was filled with pictures and videos of the rescued baby, covered in dust and dirt, which quickly went viral. A subsequent video showed the baby being cleaned up and given food.
A Twitter user shared an adorable video of the baby smiling after being miraculously found alive under the quake’s rubble. The clip showed the baby after he was given a bath and some much-needed food.
