Baby just 10-days-old rescued from Turkey earthquake rubble after 90 HOURS

A mother and her 10-day-old baby have been rescued after spending 90 hours under the earthquake rubble in Turkey.

Yagiz Ulas was pulled from the ruins of a flattened building in Samandag in Hatay Province.

Images show the infant being carried from the rubble towards a waiting ambulance during the night, a scene Turkish media called “miraculous”.

The newborn’s mother was carried away from the building debris on a stretcher.

Istanbul mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, 52, said the pair spent almost four days under the rubble.

There have been no further updates on their current health condition.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Turkey and north-western Syria in the early hours of February 6.

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan called it the "disaster of the century".

The earthquake also wreaked further chaos on Syrian towns devastated by years of war.

According to the latest official figures, at least 17,674 people have been killed in Turkey while 3,377 have died in Syria, now totaling 21,051 victims.

Over 74,000 people have been injured in the disaster.

The authorities said the hope of discovering more survivors is dwindling, but search and rescue operations are continuing in both affected countries.

Dozens of orphaned babies who were rescued from the rubble were safely transported to Ankara on the President's jet earlier this week.

Erdoğan's plane was used to carry 16 babies from Kahramanmaras to the Turkish capital following the devastating double-blow quakes on Monday.

The President's plane has been put on standby to be used for earthquake-related operations including carrying medical teams and equipment to regions of the country.

As well as transporting critically injured people to the capital Ankara for treatment.

All 16 babies on board the flight were tragically found alone in the earthquake zones and were collected by their new foster mothers from Ministry of Family and Social Services, where they were then taken to Etlik City Hospital.

Two of the babies were removed from debris caused by the earthquake, meaning that they have yet to be identified.

The other 14 were being treated at hospitals in Kahramanmaras at the time of the quake but authorities are as yet unable to reach their families.
