Miracle baby reunited with her mother 54 days after devastating earthquakes in Turkey

A mother has been reunited with her baby in southern Turkey after a DNA test confirmed that her daughter was the tiny survivor pulled from rubble days after deadly earthquakes rattled through the region more than two months earlier. The "miracle baby" named Vetin was only about a month old when she was found alive and well in the debris five days after the quakes hit on February 6, 2023.
