Istanbul - Vetin, the Mystery baby from the Turkish earthquake cried perplexedly as she was reunited with her lost mother after almost two months.

The baby was confirmed to be the biological child of the mother through a DNA test.

The baby and mother were separated during the devastating Turkish earthquake in February.

She was found on Feb. 11 under piles of rubble in İskenderun, a city in Hatay Province along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

The baby girl received cheers from rescuers and bystanders after she was pulled out from the spot she had spent more than five days without food or water.

The photo on the right shows the baby girl after she was rescued from under rubble between around 128 and 130 hours after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, 2023.

Nurses had initially called the baby "Gizem Bebek," which means "mystery baby" in Turkish. The child, who is 3-and-a-half months old, was pulled out of the rubble of a building in Hatay province more than five days after the earthquake hit southern Turkey.

The mother, Yasemin Begdas, was injured in the earthquake, and her father and older brother were killed.

The Minister of Family and Social Services, Derya Yanik, tweeted that reuniting a mother and her child is one of the most precious tasks in the world and that Vetin is now their baby too.

After being initially cared for at a hospital in Adana and receiving further medical treatment in Ankara, the baby was flown back to Adana after it was confirmed that Yasemin was her mother.

As of Monday, Yasemin was still receiving treatment at the Adana hospital, according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

The earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on February 6 claimed tens of thousands of lives, with more than 56,000 people reported dead.
