Baby Rescued From Nepal Earthquake Rubble Reunited With Mum

The mum of the miracle baby pulled alive from the Nepal earthquake rubble has spoken of her relief.

“I was certain he was dead,” Rasmila Aawal, 35, said.

Tearful, she was tracked down by the Daily Mirror today and revealed her five-month-old son, Sonies, is alive and well.

She told us his rescue after 22 hours under the wreckage was “a miracle”.

“I am just so happy. I cannot believe it,” she said as she cuddled her son by the remains of her family’s ruined house in Muldhoka.

Husband Shyam Aawal, 34, said “I am the happiest man in the world”.

Shyan, a truck driver, desperately clawed at the rubble with his bare hands to save his son.

But he was unsuccessful and had to wait for the army to arrive the next day.

Rasmila said: “I had gone shopping and left my ten year old daughter Sonia with the baby. When the quake happened I burst into tears and ran home. I thought they were both dead.”

But Sonia had got out.

Sonies was still asleep in his bed and there was a huge pile of rubble on top of him.

“I prayed to every god I could and it looks like my prayers were answered,” said Shyan.

The family took the Daily Mirror back to their house which has been completely flattened by the disaster.

They are now living on the floor of a friend’s house opposite their wrecked house.
