The baby, whose umbilical cord was still attached as rescue teams carried her out of her collapsed home, was rushed to a nearby hospital.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, with netizens calling the newborn “miracle baby”.
The baby’s recovery was one of the thousands of rescues across Turkey and Syria, as rescue workers worked round the clock through freezing temperatures and unrelenting rainfall.
The baby was the only member of her family to survive the building collapse on Monday in the small town of Jinderis, next to the Turkish border, Ramadan Sleiman, a relative, told the Associated Press. Jinderis, located in the rebel-held enclave of northwest Syria, was hard hit in the quake, with multiple buildings destroyed.
