China's tiny miracles: Three-month-old baby girl pulled ALIVE from rubble, as another is born just hours after deadly earthquake


In southwest China, at least 207 families are grieving for loved ones killed by a powerful earthquake which struck shortly after 8am on Saturday. 

The region has been rocked by some 1,300 aftershocks since the 6.6 magnitude quake hit, and state media say 11,500 are injured, 960 of them seriously.

The situation remains desperate, as rescuers battle to reach remote villages razed by the earthquake.
                Zhou Chunzhi lies on a bed with her newborn baby, named 'Zhensheng,' which means 'born on the day of the quake'


Amid the horror, though, two tiny miracles have come to light, standing as symbols of hope amid the destruction. 
This picture shows a three-month-old baby who was pulled alive from the rubble after the quake hit the steep hills of Sichuan Province.

Though her mother was killed in the devastation, the tiny girl survived the quake and is now in the care of medics.
Meanwhile, new mother Zhou Chunzhi delivered her newborn baby just two hours after the disaster, in a makeshift operating room set up in Ya'an People's Hospital.
