Moment of Hope Caught by Photographer Matthew McDermott
After eight days trapped in rubble, a beaming Kiki (7) emerged to the excitement of a rescue team. His sister, Sabrina (10) was also pulled from their fallen home. This picture speaks to the hopes & faith of many.
“They pulled him out and he immediately threw his arms out and smiled. He did it all on his own. And one of the rescuers then followed suit,” McDermott told Times.
“When it happened, we had to get back and look at the camera,” he said. “It was an incredible moment. You start losing hope after eight days.”
