Mr al Sawadi said the child is “one of my children now”.
He added that he would not “differentiate between her and my children” and explained she would keep the memory of her deceased family members alive.
He said: “She will be dearer than my children because she will keep the memory alive of her father, mother and siblings.”
Mr al Sawadi was among the thousands of Syrians who lost their homes in Syria following the earthquakes earlier this month.
