Four-month-old baby pulled from Nepalese wreckage

[Batu69]

Four-month-old baby boy Sonit Awal is held up by Nepalese Army soldiers.

A Nepalese photojournalist captured the moment army soldiers saved a four-month-old baby boy from the rubble of a house following the earthquake.

Sonit Awal miraculously survived 20 hours buried in the remnants of the family home with no injuries other than a small cut over his brow.

Sonit’s nine-year-old sister was watching him when the earthquake struck at midday on Saturday, collapsing a number of historic buildings in the town.

Local photojournalist, Amul Thapa, caught this incredible scene in the town of Bhaktapur, just east of Nepal’s capital.

Mr Thapa said: ‘When I saw the baby alive all my sorrow went. Everyone was clapping.

‘It gave me energy and made me smile in spite of lots of pain hidden inside me.’
