Miracle baby rescued in Haiti rubble

Newborn baby found alive more than a week after earthquake hit

Tweet
Posted: 22 January 2010
by Liz Stansfield

A 22-day-old baby buried in the rubble in Haiti when the earthquake hit on January 12 has been found alive and well.

Little Elizabeth Josaint was rescued after being trapped alone for eight days in the remains of her home, after her mum, Michelin, put her to bed just minutes before the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit.

Baby Eizabeth was left trapped between the ceiling and her cot for more than a week before she was pulled from the rubble in her hometown of Jacmel.

Rescue workers are now staying in the town to hunt for more survivors after Elizabeth’s miracle escape.
