After rescuers dug her out, a female neighbor cut the cord, and she and others rushed with the baby to a children\u2019s hospital in the nearby town of Afrin, where she has been kept on an incubator, said the doctor treating the baby, Dr. Hani Maarouf.<\/p>\n<p>Video of the rescue circulating on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> shows the moments after the baby was removed from the rubble, as a man lifts her up, her umbilical cord still dangling, and rushes away as another man throws him a blanket to wrap her in.<\/p>\n<p>The baby\u2019s body temperature had fallen to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) and she had bruises, including a large one on her back, but she is in stable condition, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Abu Hadiya must have been conscious during the birth and must have died soon after, Maarouf said. He estimated the baby was born several hours before being found, given the amount her temperature had dropped. If the girl had been born just before the quake, she wouldn\u2019t have survived so many hours in the cold, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad the girl been left for an hour more, she would have died,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>When the earthquake hit before dawn on Monday, Abu Hadiya, her husband and four children apparently tried to rush out of their apartment building, but the structure collapsed on them. Their bodies were found near the building\u2019s entrance, said Sleiman, who arrived at the scene just after the newborn was discovered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was found in front of her mother\u2019s legs,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter the dust and rocks were removed the girl was found alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maarouf said the baby weighed 3.175 kilograms (7 pounds), an average weight for a newborn, and so was carried nearly to term. \u201cOur only concern is the bruise on her back, and we have to see whether there is any problem with her spinal cord,\u201d he said, saying she has been moving her legs and arms normally.<\/p>\n<p>Jinderis, located in the rebel-held enclave of northwest Syria, was hard hit in the quake, with dozens of buildings that collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Abu Hadiya and her family were among the millions of Syrians who fled to the rebel-held territory from other parts of the country.

Video from the White Helmets, the emergency service in the region, shows a rescuer digging through crushed concrete amid twisted metal until the little girl, named Nour, appeared. The girl, still half buried, looks up dazedly as they tell her, \u201cDad is here, don\u2019t be scared. \u2026 Talk to your dad, talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A rescuer cradled her head in his hands and tenderly wiped dust from around her eyes before she was pulled out.<\/p>\n<p>The quake has wreaked new devastation in the opposition-held zone, centered on the Syrian province of Idlib, which was already been battered by years of war and strained by the influx of displaced people from the country\u2019s civil war, which began in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s earthquake killed hundreds across the area, and the toll was continually mounting with hundreds believed still lost under the rubble. The quake completely or partially toppled more than 730 buildings and damaged thousands more in the territory, according to the White Helmets, as the area\u2019s civil defense is known.<\/p>\n<p>The White Helmets have years of experience in digging victims out from buildings crushed by bombardment from Russian warplanes or Syrian government forces. An earthquake is a new disaster for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are both catastrophes \u2014 a catastrophe that has been ongoing for 12 years and the criminal has not been held accountable, and this one is a natural catastrophe,\u201d said the deputy head of the White Helmets, Munir Mustafa.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if there was a difference between rescue work in the quake and during the war, he said, \u201cWe cannot compare death with death \u2026 What we are witnessing today is death on top of death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Mroue reported from Beirut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
