CNNによると、助けだされた赤ちゃんの母親ラスミラ・アワルさんは、地震発生時はバクタプル市にある家のそばの道を歩いていたという。アワルさんは倒壊した家の中に、10歳の娘・ソニヤちゃんと、5カ月のソニットくんを残していたため、救助を求めて叫び続けた。

当初は助からないと見られていた。アワルさんは「凍えていました。何も聞こえず、生きているのか死んでいるのかも分からなかった」と話した。救助隊も一時は諦め、その場を去ったとNBCは伝えた

しかし、赤ちゃんの声が聞こえ、再び救助隊が戻り、ソニヤちゃんとソニットくんが助けだされたという。ホコリまみれだったが、大きなケガはなかった。

「ソニットはやっと、笑うようになった」CNNの取材に、アワルさんは答えた。ミラー紙は、家族に囲まれにっこり笑うソニットくんとソニヤちゃんの様子を報じた。

KATHMANDU, NEPAL - APRIL 30: Nepal army forces in collaboration with members of an American Search and Rescue team rescue 15 year old Pemba Lama from a collapsed hotel five days after the earthquake hit Nepal on April 30, 2015 in Kathmandu, Nepal. A major 7.8 earthquake hit Kathmandu mid-day on Saturday, and was followed by multiple aftershocks that triggered avalanches on Mt. Everest that buried mountain climbers in their base camps. Many houses, buildings and temples in the capital were destroyed during the earthquake, leaving over 5500 dead and many more trapped under the debris as emergency rescue workers attempt to clear debris and find survivors. Regular aftershocks have hampered recovery missions as locals, officials and aid workers attempt to recover bodies from the rubble.
