Sibling love; 7-year-old sister made a shield with her hands for seventeen hours preventing injury to her brother's head

Turkey and Syria are in shock from the earthquake. Everywhere you look, you see broken buildings and piles of dead bodies. The first earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred in both countries on Monday morning. Aftershocks followed.

The picture of a sister and her younger brother giving comfort and hope to the mind amid painful scenes is going viral on social media. The picture was tweeted by Mohamad Safa, a UN representative.

The 7 year old girl who kept her hand on her little brother's head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity... pic.twitter.com/J2sU5A5uvO
