A ‘miracle baby’ who was pulled from the rubble of the Nepal earthquake is doing well a year later.
Sonies Aawal managed to survive thanks to a cupboard that dropped over his bed and kept him safe.
He was eventually rescued 22 hours after the quake struck on April 25 to
the delight of his mother Rasmila, 36.

‘I try not to think too much about what happened last year with the earthquake,’ she told the Mirror.
‘He is such a lovely boy. I am just so, so pleased and relieved that he survived and that Sonia escaped as well.’
She added she felt lucky because her son, now 17 months, and 11-year-old daughter Sonia, had survived.
‘My brother-in-law and his wife lost both their daughters, their only children. That makes me realise just how lucky I am every day,’ she said.
But the family is still living in a cramped room close to their old destroyed home in Muldhoka, near Kathmandu.
Nearly 9,000 people were killed in the earthquake that had a Richter scale measure of 7.8.
