DAMASCUS: In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquakes that hit Syria and Turkiye, claiming thousands of lives, a heart-moving story of hope has emerged from the debris.
A baby, born amidst the devastation, was rescued in northeast Syria despite losing his parents. The video of the rescue operation has gone viral, with social media users terming the newborn the “miracle baby.”
As rescue workers braved freezing cold and unrelenting rainfall to search for survivors, the recovery of the newborn baby was one of the thousands of successful rescue operations in the aftermath of the quake.

The mother of the baby, who had been displaced from Syria’s Deir Ezzor region, went into labor in the wake of the massive earthquake that struck on Monday.
The newborn was rescued in Jenderes town and rushed to a nearby hospital, still attached to its umbilical cord.
In another incident, a minor, Ahmed, was rescued in the Qatma village of Syria after being trapped under a concrete slab after the collapse of his home.
The earthquakes, which struck the region, have claimed over 5,000 lives and left many more missing.
Despite the tragedy, however, stories of hope like the “miracle baby” are giving the world a glimpse of resilience and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
