    The dust-choked baby was pulled out alive

    The baby girl's mother, Afraa Abu Hadiya, was found trapped under a building that collapsed during the intense earthquake. Her umbilical cord was still attached to the newborn when she was discovered under the rubble. However, before the rescuers arrived, the mother passed away while the dust-choked baby was pulled out alive. The latter was instantly taken to the hospital.

    She has been named Aya, meaning 'miracle' in Arabic

    As per reports, the baby girl has been given a beautiful name that justifies her astonishing survival during the powerful earthquake that jolted the two nations. She has been named Aya, which means "miracle" or "a sign from God" in Arabic. The baby is the only surviving member of her immediate family as both her parents and four siblings got killed under the rubble.

    Aya has now been adopted by her late father's uncle

    Ever since her news broke out, a thousand people on social media offered to adopt the newborn. However, her late father's uncle, Salah al-Badran, will be adopting her once she is discharged from the hospital. The man's own house in the northwest Syrian town of Jenderis has been destroyed. He's currently living in a tent with his family.

    When Aya was brought to a hospital in Afrin, she had bruises including a large one on her back that doctors feared was a spinal injury.

Her condition is improving with each passing day.
