Turkey-Syria earthquake: Moment young girl pulled from rubble of building in Syria
Footage has emerged from Syria of the incredible moment men digging through rubble with their hands freed a tiny girl as her father tries to keep her calm.
The father is heard saying to his young girl, Nour, “Dad is here, don’t be scared” as the search and rescue team furrow through large rocks to pull her out from deep underneath.
Volunteers from the Syrian Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, are seen telling Nour to “look over to her dad” as they carefully lift her out of the rubble.

Her father watches on as her dust-covered face emerges from the pile in the opposition-held town of Jinderis, north of Aleppo.
Rescuers worked through the night in extremely cold temperatures searching for more survivors after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the region on Monday morning.
Thousands have died so far, with many more suspected to be trapped under collapsed buildings across Turkey and Syria.
