7-year-old girl shields kid brother under earthquake debris in Turkey for 17 hours

A deeply touching photo shared on Twitter by UN representative Mohamad Safa from the devastating earthquake-hit region of Turkey shows a 7-year-old girl shielding her little brother’s head under the debris where they were stuck for 17 hours.

Fortunately, the two children were eventually rescued

The caption of the picture reads, “The 7-year-old girl who kept her hand on her little brother’s head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity”.
