Watch: Syrian Girl Goes Viral After Protecting Little Brother From Home’s Earthquake Rubble
A video has been making the rounds on social media of a seven-year-old girl found underneath the rubble of her home with her little brother.
The girl can be seen cradling her brother’s head and embracing him while speaking to the paramedic who asked her about her little brother in an attempt to calm her down until they were able to pull the children free.
“Uncle, pull me out and I will do whatever you want, I will be your servant!” The little girl begged the paramedic.
The children have since been rescued and were transported to a safe and warm space, as seen in the third image.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Monday morning, with more than 16,000 people killed and hundreds of thousands injured and many buildings have been destroyed.
The death toll continues to rise, as a large number of people remain trapped under the mounds of the rubble of collapsed buildings.
Rescue efforts are underway as search and rescue officers battle against time and freezing temperatures as snow descends onto the affected nations.
