As the saying goes, the smallest coffins are often the heaviest. While the 2023
earthquake has taken thousands of lives, left much more displaced and homeless and
shattered entire cities, it has been the searing images and videos of news around
children that have stuck the most – of babies surviving while their entire families
perished; of babies, used to being fed every two hours and immensely fragile, surviving
10 miraculous days; and babies being mourned by their parents who could never have
imagined such a loss. Each miraculous rescue brought about cheer among the
exhausted volunteers. Here are two striking images.
