About 22 hours into the search and rescue efforts following the earthquake in Nepal, a 4-month old baby, Sonit Awal was pulled out of a rubble from a destroyed building in the town of Bhaktapur.

CNN quoting local Nepal newspaper, Kathmandu Today, said a Nepali military team had failed to notice the child during its search but returned after his cry was heard.

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday and has since claimed over 5,000 lives with tremors felt in India and China and a avalanche triggered in Mount Everest claiming dozens of lives.
