In the town of Jenderes, in northern Syria, residents and rescue workers pulled out a baby girl who was miraculously born under the rubble and remained connected through the umbilical cord to her mother, who was killed after the earthquake destroyed the family home.

The little girl saw Al-Nour as an orphan, while all her family members were killed: her father, Abdullah Al-Malehan, and her mother, Afra, along with her four brothers, in addition to her aunt.

Words do not help Khalil Al-Sawadi, a relative of the family, and he said with great emotion to Agence France-Presse today, Tuesday, "We were looking for Abu Rudeina (Khalil) and his family. We first found his sister, then we found Rudeina's mother, and he was near her."

He added, "We heard a sound when we were digging, Glory be to God (..) We cleaned the dirt to find the little girl with the umbilical cord. We cut it and my cousin took her to the hospital."

In a video clip circulating on social media, a group of men appears on top of the rubble of a destroyed building, while a man runs from behind a yellow bulldozer while carrying the infant naked except for a layer of dust mixed with blood covering her emaciated body from which the umbilical cord hangs.

Amid low temperatures, a man's voice rises in the background of the video asking for a car to take the child to the hospital, while another man runs over the rubble and throws a colored blanket to wrap her, amid the low temperatures, which touched zero.

Rescue personnel and residents were able to exhume the family's bodies after hours of searching and painstaking work with little resources, while the infant receives medical care in a hospital in the neighboring city of Afrin, in the far north of Aleppo province.
