People used their hands to free Mariam Abu Akel from the debris, before a rescuer ran with her to a nearby hospital.

Doctors there swabbed her cuts, Reuters reported.

The baby had been sheltering in a house with her family when the strike took place, which killed her mother and sister. Her father and young brother survived.
