Two Turkish newborns rescued from the rubble after the earthquake of 6 February and who were missing were returned to their families almost two months after their rescue thanks to a DNA test which allowed the parents to be identified.
The Turkish media report it.
Vetin Begdas, three and a half months old, nicknamed Gizem by the rescuers - which means mystery in Turkish - was
rescued in the southern province of Hatay 128 hours after the
7.7 magnitude quake on the night between 5 and 6 February.
She was taken to an Ankara hospital to be treated and only 54 days after her discovery was her mother, Yasemin Begdas, able to embrace her again.
Family Minister Derya Yanik attended the reunion.
In the earthquake the little girl lost her father and two brothers
.
"Vetin is truly a miracle. The fact that she survived and had no health problems touched our hearts," said Minister Yanik.
Another boy, named Musa, who was rescued from under rubble in the southern province of Kahramanmaras and taken to hospital in Mersin province, was
handed back to his parents 50 days after being found by rescuers
.
Little Musa's parents, Katibe and Naser Alkhalef, had just moved to Kahramanmaras with their three children before the earthquake.
The couple managed to reach safety with their four-year-old daughter and two-year-old son, but 10-month-old Musa was missing.
He too was only able to return to his family thanks to a DNA test.
At least 48,500 people have been killed by the earthquake in Turkey and around 6,000 in Syria
