In an incident that can only be termed a miracle, a 3-year-old was rescued after being trapped for nearly 60 hours in rubble and mud. As many as 63 people are missing after a landslide hit the gold-mining village of Masara in the southern Philippines on Tuesday night. The girl was among the few lucky ones who have been rescued since.

The rescue workers had to use their hands and shovels to pull the girl alive from under the debris. They can be seen carrying the girl to a nearby hospital, wrapped in a blanket.
