Turkey earthquake: 16 babies rescued and evacuated on President Erdogan's private jet
Telegraph, 09 Feb 2023
Sixteen babies pulled from rubble in southern Turkey were put on the Turkish president's plane and flown to safety.
Images of the rescue were published by Turkey's state-run news agency in the midst of public anger at the Turkish president, accused of mismanaging the emergency response.
The fate of the parents is unclear but state media described the infants as “unaccompanied babies” aged six days to 12 months.
