Over 8,000 people have lost their lives in multiple earthquakes ranging between 5.5 to 7.8 magnitudes in Turkey and Syria. In such a situation, a photo of a seven-year-old Syrian girl protecting her brother under the rubble is going viral.

The photo shows the young girl trapped under the rubble with her little brother. Waiting to be rescued, the girl keeps her hand on her brother’s head to protect him. They had been trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building for over 17 hours.

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… pic.twitter.com/J2sU5A5uvO
