She was rescued twice in 72 hours.. The amazing story of a Syrian mother who survived the earthquake

It does not seem that Dima will easily forget what happened to her as a result of the violent earthquake that struck her town in northern Syria, as her life was at stake on two occasions, and within 72 hours she was saved twice.

This amazing story was reported by the British BBC, and indicates that the earthquake that struck at dawn on Monday, February 6, in southern Turkey and northern Syria, damaged the home of the Syrian woman, Dima, who was seven months pregnant.

The earthquake also left her with minor injuries, and the civil defense teams were able to save her to survive the devastating earthquake that struck her city, Jenderes.

After she was rescued, and in a hospital 22 km from her home, Dima was able to give birth to her child, whom she called Adnan, and after she recovered, she returned to her home, which was not severely damaged.

collapse and injuries

But the matter did not end there, as there was a collapse in the house again 72 hours after the earthquake, and the infant was seriously injured, while the mother was injured in her legs.

According to the report, the infant also suffered from severe dehydration and jaundice, but his condition began to improve after his rescue.

Pediatrician Dr. Abdul Karim Hussein Al-Ibrahim told the BBC - two days ago - that Adnan tends to recover, indicating that the medical team provides him with his needs through intravenous injections.

While the little Adnan continues to receive his treatment in the hospital, the mother, Dima, finds herself forced to live in a tent with 9 other members of her relatives, but the lack of space forced her to return to her partially destroyed house.

The death toll from the earthquake that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria exceeded 41,000, and more bodies were recovered from under the rubble of destroyed buildings in the two countries, with hopes waning to find survivors 9 days after the disaster.
