Joy as 2-week-old baby is recovered from Turkish earthquake rubble
Baby girl reunited with mum after miraculously surviving two days in the rubble of Turkey's earthquake.
Rescue workers reunited a 2-week-old baby girl with her mum and grandma, after she became trapped in rubble from the devastating earthquake in Turkey on Sunday.
Little Azra Karaduman was freed from under a collapsed building in the eastern city of Ercis yesterday. Greeted by cheering onlookers, the baby girl was taken to a hospital in Ankara for checks.
Azra had been trapped next to her mum and grandmother, who were also found alive and freed just hours later.
It’s believed that a bakery on the ground floor of the shattered building could have saved the family by keeping them warm at night.
“Bringing them out is such a happiness,” said rescuer Oytun Gulpinar, reports the Metro.

Sadly, Azra’s dad is still missing as rescuers race against the clock to save others trapped in the debris.
