A 26-year-old mother had an emotional reunion with her baby she thought had been killed in the Haiti earthquake.
Marie Miracle Seignon wept on seeing her eight-month-old daughter Landina at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, seven months after the deadly quake.
Ms Seignon thought her daughter had been killed when the hospital she was in collapsed during the disaster in January.
But the baby survived the quake and was flown to Britain for treatment after a charity failed to locate her family.
It succeeded in tracking down the mother six weeks ago and, following DNA tests, arranged for the emotional reunion in the UK.
Speaking via an interpreter, Ms Seignon cried: "I thought she was dead, so my feelings were very, very strong.
"But when I saw her I was amazed. I couldn't believe she was alive - this is a very happy moment."
