A baby girl who was born under the rubble of her family’s earthquake-shattered home has left the hospital and gone to her new home.
Greg Palkot with FOX News joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow with a live look at the recovery efforts in Turkey, days after the country was hit by a major 7.8 magnitude earthquake.A baby girl who was born under the rubble of her family’s earthquake-shattered home has left the hospital and gone to her new home, where she was with her paternal aunt’s family Monday.
Afraa’s story has been widely shared in news reports and people from around the world have offered to help her, with some saying they would like to adopt her. However, the relatives who took her in said that, however hard their circumstances, the best place for the infant is with family. While in the hospital in the nearby town of Afrin, the director’s wife has been breast-feeding Afraa.
A hospital official said Afraa was handed over to her aunt's family days after a DNA test was conducted to make sure the girl and her aunt are biologically related. Shortly afterward, someone called him to identify a dead woman whom they found under the rubble. He told people around that she was his cousin, Afraa. Then, they started hearing a child crying and frantically removed the sand that covered the baby, whose umbilical cord was still connected to her mother.
