A baby girl was pulled alive from the wreckage of a deadly earthquake Sunday in China’s southwestern Sichuan province.
The 3-month-old baby girl was discovered by rescue team under the rubble of a collapsed house after having been stuck there for more than 15 hours. The baby is in sound condition with only a few scratches, Chinese state media CCTV reported.
However, the baby’s mother was found dead under collapsed buildings on the same day.
Lushan County, where the earthquake occurred, was struck by a magnitude-6.6 quake on Saturday, leaving at least 156 people dead and more than 5,500 injured. Some 13,000 aftershocks hit, leaving thousands of rescued villagers in fear.
“The current priority is to save lives. We should grasp the golden period for saving lives and waste not a moment,” said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Saturday afternoon while visiting the disaster area.
