Amid the carnage of the Nice attacks, here’s a story of hope.
A couple who lost their eight-month-old during the truck attack in Nice have been reunited with their baby after an appeal went out on Facebook.
The parents reportedly lost their pram during the disorder that followed the moment a lorry drove into a crowd during Bastille celebrations in Nice.
Tiava Banner posted on Facebook appealing for anyone who had seen her eight-month-old son.
Posting a picture of the infant, she wrote: “We have lost BB 8 months. “Nice friends if you’ve seen him if you were there if you have collected please contact me!!!!!”
The post was shared more than 21,000 times.
Around an hour later, the baby was found alive and well after it was discovered a local resident had taken the baby into their home.
Banner updated the post, thanking a woman named Joy Ruez.
“Found! Huge thank you to Joy Ruez,” she wrote.
Dozens of people are still missing following the attack. Friends and families are using a Facebook page called ‘SOS Nice’ to appeal for information on missing loved ones.
“We are worried to death”, “We haven’t heard from him since he went to see the fireworks,” were some of the messages.
Many of the missing were children and teenagers.
