In this seismic tragedy that two countries, Turkey and Syriathey cry and that the world accompanies in dismay are several children, a great majority you drinkthose who have been able to survive the devastating force of the earthquake on Monday, February 6, 2023.
Their names… Rajat, 18 months; Mohamed, barely 60 days old; Aduro, 3 months old, Aiset, 6; little Helen who endured 68 hours under the rubble; another 15-month-old boy in Kahramanmaras (Turkey), the epicenter of the earthquake; but the most surprising story is that of the so-called “miracle baby”, Aya, who was rescued and she was still attached to her mother through the umbilical cord.
All these babies, and other older infants, are united by this misfortune of which they are survivors and that is the fact that amazes everyone and analyzes medical science, aware that the collective attributes it to miracles.
How could these babies survive?
How have these children survived trapped in rubble of all sizes in Turkey and Syria, where there are hundreds of collapsed buildings?
For doctors, a mixture of temperature, fabrics and even the protection that their relatives seek to give them in catastrophic situations prevails.
Martin Sosa, surgeon of Doctors without bordersconsulted by El País recalls that the first week of life of any human being is also the one with the highest mortality and that over time infants have a greater chance of survival.
Explain what the ability to survive in under the rubble It varies between people but, in general, infants and grandparents (older adults) are more fragile and have more difficult opportunities to endure in these harsh and adverse conditions.
For Sosa, children under the age of 2 tend to regulate their temperature worse than an older one or an adult, which makes them more prone to developing low temperatures, which can be fatal for a baby.
The rescued babies have become striking with the passing of the hours because at that age they are more vulnerable to injuries, hypothermia and dehydration, emphasizes El País.
The baby attached to its mother by the umbilical cord
Newborn who still had the cord attached to her dead mother was rescued from rubble in Syria
Unforgettable will be the scene of the amazing rescue of a newborn, who was found attached to its mother by the umbilical cord.
The discovery occurred in Jenderis (Syria). Doctors think that her mother gave birth in the midst of the desolate scene of the earthquake just before she died and that the baby girl must have been born 10 hours after the earthquake.
If it had been found 60 minutes later, perhaps the story would be different. The baby girl, reports El Mundo this Friday, February 10, is showered with her blessings and thousands of families have expressed the desire to adopt her.
The doctors and nurses, fond of the little girl, began to call her Aya.
How could this girl be saved? The surgeon Sosa has your answer. He says that having children together with adults (relatives) are the ones who try to protect them, that keeps them a little more from the risks.
In Aya’s case, she lost her parents and her 4 siblings and the Doctors Without Borders specialist says that baby tissues are more flexible, which is why they can overcome minor injuries faster. Her parents and 4 of her siblings died.
Two brothers to save and another 9-year-old girl
The loving image of the little Mariamvictim of the powerful earthquake in Syria, trying to calm down his little brother Ilaaf, moved the world. Both of them, trapped under the rubble, looked through the crack that, fortunately, was left for them to breathe and could be located by rescuers.
The little brothers who moved the world were finally rescued in the midst of this seismic catastrophe.
“I just want you to get me out of here”. Mariam’s sentence hurt to listen to it while the rescuers looked for the least risky way to free her and her younger brother from the bonds of the concrete.

On Wednesday, February 8, El Mundo reported from Spain: “17 hours under the rubble, 17 hours protecting the head of his little brother. Emotional scene in the middle of the devastation”.
Other media, however, said that the infants remained 36 hours in that terrible situation.
On Wednesday, February 8, the rescue of a 9-year-old girl was reported. She was taken out of her home unharmed after being trapped there for 60 hours.
Rescued from “Armageddon” from the rubble of Antakya in Turkey, a man dedicated to this tough salvage task told the Mirror: “You have these amazing cases where because the foundations have gone one on top of the other, the buildings have collapsed layer by layer, people manage to get into the gaps.”
From Instagram, upon hearing the news of child rescues, Horacio Toguchi pointed out: “To admire the strength of these children for living in the face of adversity they do not understand, the work of rescuers not to leave them alone because they understand that their lives depend on their love, at this moment God is with the children through their hands”.
