    A baby girl, who was miraculously born under the rubble in Syria and remained connected through the umbilical cord to her mother, who was dead, aroused the sympathy of many, expressing their desire to adopt her.

    Paulina Queralt, a Lebanese singer living in France, announced her desire to adopt the little girl on social media.

    Paulina took to Twitter and wrote, “I wish someone knew how to reach the child. I am ready to adopt her and take care of her until the last minute of my life.”

    She also added, “If anyone has information, please contact me.”

    Moroccan broadcaster, Hind Boumashmar, also offered to adopt the orphan infant, and wrote on her Instagram account, “I am ready to sponsor and adopt this child, as she has no one but God, and if legal procedures allow in Syria.”

    Requests to adopt her came after video clips of the infant in the town of Jenderes, spread on social media, after a group of men pulled her out of the rubble of a destroyed building.

    A man ran out from behind a yellow bulldozer carrying the baby naked, save for a layer of blood-tinged dust that covered her emaciated body, from which the umbilical cord hung, in the freezing heat.

    The newborn was taken to a clinic in the nearby town of Afrin for treatment while her relatives spent several hours recovering the bodies of her mother, father Abdullah, four brothers and aunt.

    The little girl, who arrived at the clinic in a bad condition, is still undergoing treatment but is now stable, pediatrician Hani Maarouf told AFP.

    “She had several bruises and lacerations over all her body,” he said. “She also arrived with hypothermia because of the harsh cold. We had to warm her up and administer calcium.”

    Her survival is the latest in a series of stories of children being pulled from the rubble.

    The death toll from the earthquake, which devastated Syria and neighboring Turkey, had risen to more than 7,000 by Wednesday — and is expected to rise further.

    Damascus: The images and scenes continue of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, leaving thousands dead and injured.

    In a video circulated on social media platforms, a Syrian girl appears under the rubble with her little brother, protecting her head for fear of him.

    The video clip showed the little girl placing her hand over her brother’s head and embracing him to the chest, and talking to a paramedic, who asked her about her little brother Aya and the toys in an attempt to calm her down until they were pulled out.

    The little girl said to the paramedic, “Uncle, “Pull me out and I will do whatever you want, I will be your servant!”

    On Tuesday, the United Nations representative, Mohammad Safa, who posted the photo on Twitter, indicated that the duo had been under the rubble for 17 hours and got out safely.

    “The 7-year-old girl who kept her hand on her little brother’s head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity…” Safa tweeted.

    A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, killing hundreds and thousands of injured, and destroying many buildings, which was felt by the residents of Egypt, Lebanon, and Cyprus.

    It is noteworthy that the total number of confirmed deaths in southeastern Turkey and Syria has risen to more than 6,000 as a result of the earthquake, which is the strongest in the region in nearly a century.
    The toll continues to rise, as a very large number of people are still under the rubble of the collapsed buildings.

    While the World Health Organization expected that the final outcome would be much greater than the announced non-final numbers.
