It was previously reported that the child’s mother had ᴅɪᴇᴅ during the ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ in Turkey.

The 3-month-old girl spent 128 hours in the ʀᴜʙʙʟᴇ of a ᴄᴏʟʟᴀᴘsᴇᴅ ʙᴜɪʟᴅɪɴɢ before being ʀᴇsᴄᴜᴇᴅ after the ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ in Turkey. Medical workers named him “Mystery” and took care of her before finding her mother.

A mother has been reunited with her newborn daughter 54 days after they were sᴇᴘᴀʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ in the ᴄʜᴀᴏs of Turkey’s ᴄᴀᴛᴀsᴛʀᴏᴘʜɪᴄ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ. Authorities took the 3-month-old Vetin to a hospital in Adana with her mother, Yasemin Begdas, Reuters reported.

A D.N.A ᴛᴇsᴛ confirmed that Yasemin Begdas is the mother of the little girl.

“Reuniting a mother and her child is one of the most valuable tasks in the world,” Family and Social Affairs Minister Derya Yanik said, according to Reuters.

The child, who was ʀᴇsᴄᴜᴇᴅ ᴜɴʜᴀʀᴍᴇᴅ from the ʀᴜʙʙʟᴇ of a ᴄᴏʟʟᴀᴘsᴇᴅ ʙᴜɪʟᴅɪɴɢ in Hatay province 128 hours after the February 6 ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ, was reportedly named Gizem, which means “mystery” in Turkish, by medical staff.

“The baby is truly a miracle. The fact that she sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇᴅ and had no ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍs touched our ʜᴇᴀʀᴛs,” Yanik said.

Vetin’s father and two brothers also ᴅɪᴇᴅ in the ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ, the ministry said in a statement.
