Footage of a man sprinting from the collapsed debris of a building, holding Aya covered in dust, went viral on social media. Maarouf said the baby’s lowered body temperature indicated she had been born about three hours before being found.
For now, Attiah’s wife, who has a daughter just four months older than her, will breastfeed Aya alongside their own child.
