Description
Sham Sheikh Mohammed, a nine-year-old Syrian girl whose fate captured the tragedy, hope and heartbreak of this month's earthquake after spending 40 hours under the rubble is taken to Turkey for treatment with her brother Omar, 15. Local officials told AFP that she may have to have her legs amputated. Suffering of what doctors call crush syndrome, they are the first of those rescued from the rubble of the February 6 quake to be given authorisation to enter Turkey for treatment from rebel-held areas.
