‘I thought my family died’: Father pulled from earthquake rubble reunited with wife and newborn daughter

Three more earthquake survivors were pulled alive from the rubble in Turkey on Friday – including a father reunited with his wife and his baby daughter, who was born on the night of the disaster.

Mustafa Avci, 34, was rescued after 11 days trapped in the rubble of a hospital in Antakya. “I thought my family died,” he told reporters as baby Almila lay on his chest for the first time. “My wife, my child, I thought they were all dead. God bless everyone. I’m so happy.”
