 After spending four days in the wreckage, a woman and infant from Turkey and Syria were saved.


On October 30, 2019, a powerful earthquake struck the border region between Turkey and Syria, killing at least 40 people and injuring hundreds more. In the days that followed, rescue teams worked tirelessly to search for survivors in the rubble. On November 3, four days after the earthquake, a miracle occurred when a new-born baby and its mother were pulled from the wreckage alive. The baby, named Azra, had been born just one day before the earthquake struck. The mother and daughter were found in the ruins of a collapsed building in the city of Şanlıurfa, in the southeastern region of Turkey. They were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries. The rescue mission was a collaborative effort between Turkish and Syrian rescue teams, who worked together to locate and save the pair. It was a rare moment of unity between the two countries, who have been in a state of conflict since 2011. The rescue of Azra and her mother was a moment of hope in a tragedy that has affected hundreds of people in the region. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of light.
