Despite his young age, the Turkish child emerged from the rubble after more than 120 hours of laughter.
His smile has garnered attention on social media after a video clip of him has spread like wildfire over the past few hours.
Commentators reported that rescuers managed to pull the child out of the rubble, with the latter appearing to be laughing and smiling, as if he had spent hours among the rocks without food, water and even sunlight.
29,605 victims
Remarkably, the latest official statistics in Turkey recorded that the death toll from the earthquake has risen to 29,605, according to the Office of Emergency and Disaster Management.
