Rescue workers have rescued a newborn baby girl from the rubble of a building in northwestern Syria after a devastating earthquake hit Turkey and Syria.

A relative of the girl said that her mother went into labor soon after the earthquake and gave birth to the girl before she died. The girl's father, four siblings and an aunt have also died in the earthquake.

In dramatic footage, a man can be seen carrying a child, who is buried in dust, as he is pulled from the rubble.

A hospital doctor said that the girl's condition is now stable.

Khalil al-Sawadi, the child's uncle, told AFP news agency, "We heard a sound while we were digging. We cleaned the dust and found the baby girl whose umbilical cord was attached, so we cut it and my cousin took her to the hospital.

Pediatrician Hani Maruf said that the girl arrived at the hospital in a bad condition, she had many wounds and bruises all over her body.

He said, "She also arrived with hypothermia due to extreme cold." We had to warm him up and give him calcium.'

In one of the pictures, the baby girl can be seen lying in the incubator and has a drip. A joint funeral prayer was offered for his mother Afra, father Abdullah and his four siblings.

It should be noted that the death toll in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria on Monday has reached close to 8,000.

The White Helmets organization has warned that the number is likely to 'increase dramatically'.

"Time is running out," he tweeted on Tuesday. Hundreds of people are still trapped under the rubble. Every second can mean saving a life.'

"We appeal to all humanitarian organizations and international organizations to provide assistance to organizations dealing with this disaster."

The United Nations has vowed to use all means to get aid to people in northwest Syria, but the agency says damaged roads and other problems are hampering deliveries.

He also urged the governments not to politicize the delivery of aid to the needy.

Under a UN Security Council agreement, only one border crossing can be used for deliveries from Turkey to northwest Syria, while all other aid deliveries can go through Damascus.
