The miracle of the typhoon baby: Pregnant woman who was washed away in floods gives birth to healthy baby girl in rubble of wrecked airport.

In the midst of all the chaos and devastation in the Philippines a baby girl was safely born in the rubble of a typhoon-devastated airport. 
Emily Ortega, 21, gave birth in a destroyed airport compound that was turned into a makeshift medical centre, with her bed a piece of dirty plywood resting amid dirt, broken glass, twisted metal, nails and other debris.
'She is so beautiful. I will name her Bea Joy in honour of my mother, Beatriz,' Ortega whispered shortly after giving birth
