A woman has given birth to a baby girl in northwest Syria while buried under rubble from the Turkey-Syria earthquake that has devastated the two counties and killed thousands.
Tragically the mother of the newborn child, Afraa Abu Hadiya, passed away after the building they lived in in the small town of Jinderis next to the Turkish border collapsed on Monday.
The baby, who is the only member of the family to have survived the building crash, was discovered with her umbilical cord still connected to her mother. She was found in the midst of the rubble from the collapsed five-storey block of flats 10 hours after the quake hit.
