 The little girl was covered in dust, but otherwise healthy |
Nurses at Port-au-Prince's main hospital greeted a baby girl with loud applause on Monday, after she survived six days buried under the rubble of her home, the AFP news agency reports.
"This is incredible, she has no injuries," said a nurse as she gave the child water and carefully washed off the dust that covered her small body from head to toe.
The girl is thought to be about 18 months. Her name is not known and her family are thought to have been killed in the quake.
She is the second baby to be unearthed in Haiti in as many days.
Medics at an Israeli field hospital outside the capital treated Jean-Louis Brahms, eight months old, who was rescued after spending five days trapped under what used to be his house.
Baby Jean-Louis was close to death when a neighbour heard his cries and alerted rescuers and his parents - who had given up hope of finding him alive.
