Syrian children still haunted by pain and trauma of deadly earthquake

When a newborn baby was rescued alive from beneath the rubble in the rebel-held Syrian town of Jandaris after earthquakes devastated Turkey and Syria in 2023, her news made headlines worldwide.

Some 60,000 people were killed after two powerful earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.7 and 7.6 shook south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6, 2023.

The "miracle baby" born under the rubble was her family's sole survivor. Now nearly a year old, she was named Afraa after her deceased mother.
