Twenty-eight thousand deaths deaths, 6,000 buildings collapsed, hundreds of aftershocks—Turkey has been reeling under the aftermath of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck on Monday. But in the midst of destruction and despair, miraculous tales of survival continue to emerge.

A two-month-old baby was rescued on Saturday from under the rubble in Turkey's Hatay as the crowd clapped and cheered. The child was found alive nearly 128 hours after the earthquake. Thousands of rescue workers are still scouring through flattened neighbourhoods despite freezing weather that has deepened the misery of millions now in desperate need of aid. Among those who were rescued five days after the quake are a two-year-old girl, a six months pregnant woman and a 70-year-old woman, Turkish media reported.
