A four-year-old boy named Azka was pulled alive from the rubble three days after a 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia.

The child's uncle, Wahyudin (29), showed the National Search and Rescue Agency (SAR) where the child was suspected to have been before the quake struck Cianjur. He said Azka was in his bedroom.

At first, emergency services tried to break into the wall and found a lot of plywood but no signs of life. After digging, the rescuers spotted the child and pulled him out from the rubble.

The footage shows the heartwarming moment the uncle and the child were finally reunited. Wahyudin can be seen stroking the little boy as he is given a fresh drink.

Azka, accompanied by his uncle and aunt, was brought to Cianjur Hospital to receive medical treatment. The child didn't talk much when he was admitted to the hospital. However, he accepted to eat some delicious biscuits and said "I want it".

Azka's rescue mission was part of a wider operation focusing on four areas of Cugenang District. Many are believed to be still buried under the rubble.

It has been reported that at least 268 people died in the earthquake. Among the victims are many children.

In the morning at around 07.00 WIB, Wednesday, the SAR Team began conducting a search focused on four points in Cugenang District. It is suspected that there are still many victims who are buried by buildings or landslides.

The SAR team is a joint team consisting of Basarnas personnel, TNI, Polri, to firefighters and disaster volunteers. The team also combed the Cugenang area, including Kampung Rawa Cina.

Then a number of the SAR Team personnel coordinated with the residents to indicate the point where the victims were suspected of being buried.

Azka's uncle, Wahyudin (29), at that time showed the SAR Team personnel where Azka was suspected to have been the last time before the earthquake struck. According to Wahyudin, Azka was in his room, which is now a collapsed building.

"At that time, Azka usually sleeps in his room alone," said Wahyudin.

Finally, the personnel from the SAR Team tried to break into the wall of the room that had collapsed at Azka's house. What was found was plywood or plywood. However, at that time also found no signs of life.

At that time, Azka began to see the light and the hands of the SAR Team officers who were trying to reach him. And finally Azka was successfully removed from the ruins of the building and immediately handed over to his uncle.

A happy and emotional atmosphere enveloped the seconds of Azka's rescue as a point of hope for other residents. The reason is that in the village it is not only Azka who is declared missing.

Azka was then rushed to Cianjur Hospital as quickly as possible using an ambulance to get medical treatment, accompanied by her uncle and aunt.

Shortly after Azka was rushed to the hospital, the visiting officials to review the earthquake victims did not escape to visit the Cianjur Hospital.

At around 12.00 WIB, the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa was present at the Hospital, followed by Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security Mahfud MD, who was present about 30 minutes later, while the Head of BNPB Suharyanto had been at the Hospital since around 11.00 WIB.

At that time, the officials were directed by the President Director of the Cianjur Hospital, Darmawan Setiabudhi, to visit the tents and provide explanations regarding the patient's condition.

Then the officials were directed to Tent C to meet Azka and hear the story of the boy who survived the destructive disaster.

Wahyudin as Azka's uncle then gave an explanation regarding the chronology of Azka's rescue. Then the General Chairperson of Dharma Pertiwi Hetty Andika Perkasa could not hold back tears after listening to Azka's story.

Hetty immediately tried to talk to Azka, but this boy didn't talk much because his condition was still weak. Hetty also invited Azka to eat biscuits to encourage her food intake.

"I want," said Azka when asked to eat biscuits by Hetty Andika Perkasa.

At that time, Azka also complained of pain in her hand due to the IV needle. But Azka was willing to get up and be carried by Hetty to eat biscuits.
