A rescue worker has been pictured breaking down in tears as he held a baby girl who was freed from the rubble of a bombed building.
In the footage, the man is seen cradling the child in his arms in an ambulance as she was taken to hospital following a reported airstrike in Idlib, northern Syria.
The tearful worker said the infant, who had blood on her head and was covered in dust, was aged about one month, although she appeared to look older.
Rescue workers were earlier pictured searching desperately through the remains of a building to find the youngster in the debris. A woman was also pulled alive.
The worker said: "We have been working for two or three hours, God willing.
"One month, she is one month old. Oh God, two hours of work, this is it. It's 30 days old."
At least six people were killed as air raids targeted Idlib and the town of Jarjanaz on Thursday, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The footage emerged a day after a young Syrian girl was pulled alive from underneath rubble after an airstrike in Aleppo's al Shaar district - an attack that reportedly claimed 24 lives.
