Telegraph, 13 Feb 2023
Breaking: White Helmet Rescuers pull Syrian girl out of the rubble after being trapped for 40 hours and one man uses his own body as a stretcher to guide her to safety.

They are now around 3,000 people-strong and have gained worldwide fame as the rescuers who go where others feared to tread.
