Necla Camuz was at home in Hatay province feeding her son when a deadly earthquake struck.
It has been a week since a deadly earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, killing thousands. But amid the despair, there have also been stories of "miracles". This is one of them.
She did not know that morning that the area would be torn apart by the earthquake, with buildings damaged and destroyed at every turn. The 33-year-old found herself lying down with her baby on her chest, still held in her arms. A fallen wardrobe next to her had saved their lives by preventing a large slab of concrete from crushing them.Lying in her pyjamas beneath the rubble, Necla could see nothing but "pitch black" so she had to rely on her other senses to work out what was going on.Because of the dust, she struggled at first to breathe, but said it soon settled. She was warm in the rubble.
"You plan lots of things when you have a new baby, and then… all of a sudden you're under rubble," she says.There was no source of water or food that she could access for herself. In desperation, she tried unsuccessfully to drink her own breast milk. When she got to hospital, Necla was greeted by family members who told her that her husband of six years, Irfan, and her three-year-old son, Yigit Kerim, had been rescued from the rubble.
