'He was in stable condition and has been released. The father was distressed but happy to be reunited with his baby.'
The five-month old was plucked Sunday from debris inside a house where his mother and siblings were found dead in the hard-hit northeastern town of Sentani."We took the baby to the hospital and had him treated," Papua military spokesman Muhammad Aidi told AFP.
Rescuers battled mud, rocks and fallen trees in the hunt for survivors, as medical personnel treated the wounded in makeshift tents."We have over 1,000 personnel searching for more victims," Aidi said.Papua shares a border with independent Papua New Guinea on an island just north of Australia. Meanwhile, three people were killed -- including two Malaysian tourists -- and some 182 were injured after an earthquake Sunday triggered a landslide on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, next to Bali.
