Despite his young age, a Turkish baby emerged from the rubble after more than 120 hours laughing.
His smile caught the eye on social media after a video clip of him spread like wildfire during the past hours.
Commentators reported that the rescue teams were able to pull the child out of the rubble, while the latter seemed to be laughing and smiling, as if he had not been among the stones for hours without food, water, or even sunlight.
It is noteworthy that the latest official statistics in Turkey recorded that the earthquake victims had risen to 29,605 people, according to the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority.
Despite these numbers, and with officials confirming that they may rise again, there are still hopes that more survivors will be rescued.
On Sunday, Turkish Vice President Fuad Aktay confirmed that the authorities had not lost hope of finding people alive.
He also said that nearly 34,000 people from rescue teams are continuing searches for those stranded in the affected areas, despite the difficult conditions, according to what was reported by the Turkish “TRT” TV.
