Three days after the strong 5.6 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia, a boy named Azka was rescued from the rubble.
On the evening of November 23, Newsflare reported that Wahyudin (29 years old), Azka’s uncle, guided the National Search and Rescue Agency (SAR) to the location where his nephew was believed to be before the earthquake struck in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia.
