Baby girl survives landslide in Bangladesh

Sunday, 6 July 2008

A three-month-old baby girl has survived unhurt after a landslide destroyed her family's home in southern Bangladesh.

Her parents and two older siblings were killed.

Rescuers pulled the infant from the rubble of the family's mud and straw hut at the foot of a hill.

The hut had been levelled when earth loosened by heavy monsoon rains slipped down the hill.
