A baby has been born under the rubble of her home following the devastating earthquake which hit Turkey and Syria.
The miracle infant still had her umbilical cord attached when she was pulled from the wreckage by rescuers.

Her mother is believed to have gone into labour as the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit on Monday morning.
Neither
of the girl's parents nor her four siblings are believed to have
survived, according to locals in the small north Syrian town of
Jindires.
Roughly a quarter of the town is believed to have been reduced to rubble by the quake, which has so far killed at least 6,300 people.
The
death toll is likely to climb further as freezing weather and multiple
aftershocks are hampering rescue efforts - despite international
assistance.
